Turn or burn?

I heard this story the other day.

I loved it so much, that I thought I would share it with all of you.

Let me know what you think, ok?

******************

One day a man was out walking his dog, when he saw an angel walking towards him.

"That's funny!" the man thought to himself. "I could swear that is an angel."

Sure enough, it was an angel; and as the angel drew nearer, the man noticed that the angel was carrying a pail of fire in one hand and a pail of water in the other.

"Hello." greeted the man.

"Hello." replied the angel.

Curious, the man asked, "If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing with that bucket of fire and that pail of water?"

The angel paused and replied, "Well, if you must know, I'm on my way to put out the fires of hell with the one and to burn down the mansions of heaven with the other. Then," the angel exclaimed, "we shall see who really loves God!"
