"Look at the birds..."  Matthew 6:26

    I look at the birds because I believe they will carry the messages of my heart upward to our Creator.   I look at them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day–the invocations and the benedictions to God Himself.  I look to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear.  And that God's eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me!
