Angel wings

One day my son asked me, “Why do angels have wings?” I thought, “What a profound question!” It is so simple and yet so logical. All my life - all those years in Sunday school - and I never asked myself that question. If angels are spiritual beings, what need have they for wings? They don’t need to fight the laws of gravity. They don’t need to use air resistance to move about. It is absolute proof that the whole concept of angels was invented by humans who couldn't imagine anything flying without wings. I suppose that years of believing whatever the preacher said, whatever the Sunday school teacher said, whatever my parents said, was true, had dulled my logic and crippled my ability to see something so simple for myself. It took a small boy to show me that simple truth.
