Where I, Ipomoea, sit and write in Heaven among the lovely gardens and walkways around the Honor Wall is appropriate for this book. When the angels have finished with us, we experience them differently in Heaven. Not so close as to be friends. Except for Frank and Ralph.
They are not like any other angels.
God loves and treasures these conjoined angels for their courageous exploits.
Joined, though not balanced nor mended individually, Frank and Ralph are tethered as lithe, double-twisted, frayed ropes wound together. Stronger than one, yet wounded still. Used for special circumstances, hired by the Son of God for himself and his often and sometimes clandestine missions.
Missions, nonetheless, that no single angel would deign to accept nor deserve.
History reveals their work and portends the future for all of creation.
From left to right,
that’s Ralph and Frank, Jesus' Guardian Angels — now retired.
After we took the picture,
Frank insisted Ralph’s name
come first in the title.
They would not pose
for another photograph.
Angels are difficult to please,
and polite to a fault.
(If you only knew how clever was their compromise.)
A single, crystal-faced etching, among billions of variously fashioned carvings and plaques, glistens on Heaven’s Honor Wall. Two angel names grace this space. Jesus calls them Frank and Ralph, though their given names are much more delightful to hear.
Memorialized forever in Acts 1:9-11, our documentary on Frank and Ralph begins with their botched pronouncement as two hand-picked heralds of Jesus’ Ascension and promised return. Botched is probably too kind. “Cringe-worthy,” said Malachi, the Prophet, among those who witnessed from Heaven. “OMG!” said Thomas the Apostle, present that day with the rest of the newly appointed creation royalty. “I got there a little late but saw a very non-angelic fiasco. Wow.”
When Jesus was a child, and the angels were his guardians, he called them "Afee" and "Onka." Besides being adorable, the names were a tease. Frank and Ralph had known Jesus long before then — almost forever ago. They met shortly after time became a consequence of creation.
