Leviticus 11:20-23 20 "All the winged insects that go upon all fours are an abomination to you. 21Yet among the winged insects that go on all fours you may eat those which have legs above their feet, with which to leap on earth. 22 Of them you may eat: the locust according to its kind, the cricket according to its kind, and the grasshopper according to its kind. 23 But all other winged insects which have four feet are an abomination to you. (RSV)

A cardinal just attacked the window.

Their chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear. Their two weapons are fear and surprise....and a ruthless efficiency. Their three weapons are....
I hope things aren't going all Hitchcockian.
Hmm. A bird was trying to attack my window last night, too. Do they also celebrate May Day and mobilize?
Oh and once, at summer camp, a nun did an interpretive dance on the altar to Day by Day.
Come on, haven't we all done that?
I mean, given how insanely repetitive the song is, what else is there to do?
Hmm. A bird was trying to attack my window last night, too. Do they also celebrate May Day and mobilize?
Could be - I doubt any of those birds have green cards.
Now I want to add "and a fanatical devotion to the Pope" to the end of every sentence.
While eating olives.
But not locusts. My coffee fueled impressionability will only go so far.
