Angels

Stars that are fixed in the Heavens just stay there forever. People have to look up to notice them, pick them out, name them.

Shooting stars flash across the sky and everybody notices them, they can't help but notice them.
But Shooting stars burn up all their energy at once doing this.

Some people are like candles that burn at both ends - they burn twice as bright, but they only burn half as long.

God calls His angels home sooner than we'd like.
