Odd Bits

Laughing at death is like owning a car. A car, like us, will one day, quit running. But we must never stop enjoying the ride. Sometimes the journey is bumpy, causing numerous stops. Other times its fun and easy. Either way, we keep driving. When we find humor and laugh at death, it doesnt mean were irreverent. It simply means we are finding a way to get through lifes toughest road by enjoying the funny detours. Momento mori!

Buzzard, Bumble Bee and Me

The Buzzard:

If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.

The Bat:

The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

The Bumblebee

A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.

People

In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat and bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up! Thats the answer, the escape route and the solution to any problem! Just look up. Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, but faith looks up! Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us.
