God's Wings

An article in National Geographic several years ago provided a penetrating picture of God's wings
.
After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings.

The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. When the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast. Because she had been willing to die, those under the cover of her wings would live.

"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge." (Psalm 91:4).

Being loved this much should make a difference in your life.Remember who loves you, and then be different because of it. Please pass this on to others you care about and
don't drive faster than your Guardian Angel can fly.

This is a challenge to anyone within driving distance to Our Nation's Capitol; (who is) ticked enough to demonstrate their true feelings about this last "election."
(I am not near enough. But I wish I were.) I am calling for a mass "mooning" of "the Shrub" on his triumphant march from the "swearing-in" to the People's House. (Those men AND women with the gumption may want to write appropriate commentary on their derrières.) This will be an appropriate non-violent demonstration of a true Will of the People. It will show the World a view of this government that is a true reflection of what a 50-50 split means in America; what the theft of Righteousness brings to our people.

My President, my ass!

Who will join the faceless, nameless horde that never defines either "something" or "done" but uses the buzz word unrelentlessly?
The War on Drugs is a failure and that is why Gov. Gary Johnson of New Mexico is taking the stance he is...deal with it on more human terms. With the overall cost reaching into the hundreds of billions of dollars, and the only effects being the construction of ever more prisons to house otherwise good folks, a change will come of the injustices inherient in the present situation.
We have a wait ahead. No one will ask in the hearings about this. Ashcroft will probably get the job but Senator John Kerry had the right perspective. Ashcroft got a deferment from the Vietnam war. Not that big a deal, but we love the line from Senator Kerry about Ashcroft's wartime decision; (that it) ''fits a pattern of a lot of hard-line, conservative hawks with a similar history of avoidance of personal responsibility.'' How very true.

How very true. Thanks for the thought.
