The sparrows have come back to my bushes out front. At my backyard bird feeder, eight sputsies were feeding. One of them was quite fat (a pregnant sparrow?!) Anyway, the Lord blesses us with the enjoyment of watching his little creatures in the wild.

Why do you use such titles?
Are you the judge?

Great to hear about your birds returning.
Years ago my father, WW2 pilot, and an avid sportsman, went on a silent retreat during Lent. At the end of the weekend, during a long cold winter, the priest asked my father what he got most out of the weekend retreat.My father without hesitation said, "I saw my first flock of geese returning to begin the spring migration."
The priest told my father he didn't think he prayed as hard as he should have.
My father said, "No... my prayers were answered!"
Amen to that!

As a matter of fact, I am. Just kidding. Just like I was kidding when I stated it. I shouldn't have to say this as many I pinged got it and made a joke in reference to it.
When we can't have a little humor, we're in trouble.
