Journal Entry 2

For the benefit of the ignorant reader, it behooves me to explain a little of my intent in my sojourn on this planet. It will be difficult for me to describe things from my world using the inadequate language of the humans. I will attempt to use words that mirror our realities as closely as possible. My race is an intellectual one, for we spend our long lives learning the many secrets of the universe. What humans call angels are our teachers and guides in our quest to learn of the goodness of our Father's vast universe. Earth has long been a much-loved subject of study among us, from the beginning of human life to its rejection of the Creator, culminating in the one event that changed our universe forever, the event that all time revolves around: the Creator becoming human, the Eternal One sanctifying the form of the created. How blessed is the race of humans! But how ignorant of their blessedness! In every human age, we have sent one of our own to observe the progress of this race, and in doing so, to try to understand human life. For we know nearly all concerning the blessed and cursed planet, save what it is to be human. I have been chosen to observe the current human age, the age that is rumored to be the last. I will make frequent entries in this digital communication medium called the Internet, and I will leave it with humanity when I depart, with the hope that the humans will read it and learn of the folly of their self-destruction. When I return to my world, I will enlighten my brothers and sisters concerning human life, providing I can come to an understanding of it.
