A question that has always lurked in my mind. I mean, 30 (?) or something, angels for every human on earth, I mean how are those heavenly beings OCCUPIED? What do they DO in heaven? Well I found out from someone who has BEEN THERE! So I guess she must know what shes talkin about.Actually, Anyone can read her account of her journey to heaven, its in her book , available in all good Christian bookstores, "A Divine Revelation of Heaven" by Mary Baxter. Now it seems that among their other numerous activities and duties, the angels go around collecting TEARS, and once collected, these are put into STORAGE.
Gods "spokesperson" explains (page 32):
...."At one point I was taken to a particular place where the angel stopped and said, 'God wants me to show you the room of tears'... The angels catch our tears and put them into bottles (psalm 56 v 8 )"....
So she enters the room, and:
..." On the shelves were many bottles. Under each sparkling cluster of glasslike bottles was a plaque with a name on it. There were many of these bottles in the room"...
In fact, one for every person who ever lived! While she was stood there nonplussed and confused, a large angel appeared behind her and entered the "tear storage room":
..."The Angel held a small bowl in his hands. The golden bowl was filled with a liquid"...
The angel who was responsible for "logging in" the incoming tears told her:
..."He has just brought me a bowl of tears from the earth....The angel handed him the bowl, along with a piece of paper. The note held the name of the person whose tears filled the bowl"...
Holy Hanna!! Whoever cried those tears musta been dehydrated by the time they was finished weeping. Anyway, the Angel in charge of the "storage of tears" then pours some of the tears onto a book before storing the rest of the tears into a bottle. Each time a tear dripped onto a new page:
..." A whole page of writing appeared. He continued doing this, time after time".
Then the book was taken to , you guessed it, a BOOK storage room. A book room filled with the tearfull prayers of humanity . This room had walls so high you could not see the tops of the walls, books upon books, and angels everywhere climbing up and down ladders storing the books into their proper slots.

Now it seems that, not only do the angels collect tears. But they also go around RECORDING a lot with pen and scroll.What are they recording? The author explains ( page 52) :
...." God has His angels keep records of every church service on earth!...I could see about 30 people sitting in pews...Two angels with books stood outside the door of the church . An angel stood on either side of the pastor in the pulpit. Beyond those two were two more behind the pastor. Two angels stood at the back of the church, behind the congregation. Two more about half way up, and two at the front"...
All these angels had scrolls and biros to "record" with. But what were they to record? Gods messenger tells us next (page 62) :
...."The ushers started taking up the offering. As the offering was recieved, the angels recorded the peoples Attitude while giving. They recorded the contributors thoughts- whether they begrudged giving to the Lords work, or whether they enjoyed giving and viewed it as Worship."....
And scribble scribble scribble, all those angels scribbled in their scroll books and ...whoosh, up to the "Holy Hall of Records" in Heaven. After this she went on a guided tour of the Holy Hall of Records in Heaven , and saw:
..." The recording was written in orderly fashion. The name of the country. The name of the State, the name of the city, the name of the church. The name of the pastor and how many people were in the meeting. And the details of the offering that was taken".
And the details of whether he gave all he could or whether he HELD BACK "begrudgingly". Is not your faith edified by all of this Brothers and Sisters??
