BIRDS AND WINGS Author Unknown An old legend says that God first created birds without wings. Sometime later, God made wings and said to the birds, "Come, take up these burdens and bear them." The birds hesitated at first, but soon obeyed. They tried picking up the wings in their beaks, but found them too heavy. Then they tried picking them up wit their claws, but found them too large. Finally one of the birds managed to get the wings hoisted onto its shoulders where it was possible to carry them. To the amazement of the birds, before long the wings began to grow and they soon had attached themselves to the bodies of the birds. One of the birds began to flap its wings and others followed its example. Shortly afterwards, one of the birds took off and began to soar in the air above. What had once been a heavy burden now became the very thing that enabled the birds to go where they could never go before...and at the same time, truly fulfill the destiny of their crea...

I had a friend. I have been hurt so bad by the actions of this friend that for many years, my patterns of behavior and psyche was kind of conditioned by the hurt. Then years ago I heard UB preached on Forgiveness; that really, when you don't forgive, you are allowing yourself to be the prisoner of that unforgiveness and there is no way to grow in our Christian life but to know how to forgive, so I prayed to the Lord to help me learn genuine forgiveness.

Anyway, this friend called and surprise of all surprises, the friend apologized for whatever suffering I went through.

Do not therefore expect words that are constructed ever so carefully and said nicely because whatever comes to my frazzled mind will my fingers obey to put down. Not that I have been having bad times, No! To the contrary actually. Well, I haven't been having a blast either but the last few days have been good. What about the many weeks you were invisible, you'd ask! Well, those were a blur so let's not go there. :-) I was invited to attend a confab out of town so I started looking for my passport. I knew I put it in the safest place possible but now that I'm gonna need it, I can't find it. I searched in all the nooks and cranny in the house, the neighbor's house even; I scanned pages of books in the shelves, and took out contents of ...
