                    [113].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – HAVE YOU SEEN A GOULDIAN FINCH?
I keep finches including the gouldian finch, one of the most beautiful finches in the world, if not the most beautiful.  If you have not seen one, go do a search on the internet.
This poem covers a number of subjects.  When you look

                    I was sitting on my deck at home one day this week having a brief devotional with the Lord. I looked up into a tree and saw a very small bird, a tiny yellow finch. I looked at him, and he looked at me. He was perched there without a care in the world, feeling safe and sound on his God-given turf.

In 2005, the media reported that NASA had discovered water on Mars, and had actual pictures on the official NASA website.  Those who went to the NASA website to check it out, found a picture of a glass of water

                    “To Kill A Mockingbird” is one of my favorite stories. The main character is Atticus Finch, a lawyer and father who defends a young black man of rape in 1932. As you can imagine, in that day that was not a popular decision. He’s called all kinds of names and even his children bear the brunt of his

                    When Judi, Kathryn, Mary and I moved into the new house I began feeding the birds on a regular basis in our yard. The only birds we had at the other house were cactus wrens, quail and doves. We not only have those three but now we have robins, hummingbirds, finches, cardinals, and sparrows.

This poem takes up the challenge against evolution.  The main thought here is that the whole theory (more an hypothesis) is based on absurdity.
When in desperate situations people clasp onto something to hold them up,
