Day 133
I think they should film this new reality show on the MU campus. We have an overabundance of the little critters around here, the majority of whom have lost all sense of fear when it comes to humans. In fact, I have been chased by a squirrel. Twice. I’m serious. The rodents are taking over.
And yes, there was a time I danced with a squirrel. I came around a corner and there he was, blocking my way on the sidewalk. I took a step forward, he did too. I stepped back. He scurried up to me. I lunged forward (um . . . gracefully, of course – in light of the fact that we were dancing). He backed up but held his ground before creeping toward me again. This back and forth waltz continued until I reminded him that my mother had once made some of his distant cousins into a stew and I would be willing to do the same, at which point he turned and scampered off into the bushes so that I was able to continue on my way.
Check the above idea: I suggest we tape a “squirrel reduction show” which we could call Hunting for the Squirrels. Hmmm . . . I can hear the PETA cries already.
Onward.
“Be ye glad, oh be ye glad/Every debt that you ever had/Has been paid up in full by the grace of the Lord/Be ye glad, be ye glad, be ye glad.”
When Jesus died on the cross, he said, “It is finished.” The debt of my sins was paid in full. Nothing left for me to do for eternal salvation but trust that finished work.
Do I not have every reason to be glad?
