When God Spoke Through An Ass

Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 6, 2007

Don’t Worry, its not what you think. The Biblical (KJV) word for donkey is often a synonym for a fool. But as we will find, Balaam’s talking donkey was more wise than he was, and wiser than some we may meet.

The story is told of a man who bought a beautiful, exotic, tropical parrot from a local pet store. The pet store owner said that the parrot could talk and after demonstrating a few sentences ...read more
