BIRD OF PARADISE

Reminds me of an Easterner, was being driven by a Texas rancher over a barren stretch of West Texas, on a smothering hot day, when a large, brightly-colored bird scurried across the road in front of them. The visitor asked what it was, and the rancher said, "That's a bird of paradise."

The Easterner remarked, "He's a pretty long way from home, isn't he?"

The believer is a bird of paradise - and yes, we are a long way from home, but heading that way.
