so there i was... i was just waking up. i had slept in pretty late (since i didn't have to get up for work at the crack of dawn for the first time in i don't know how long)... and so i was i a pretty good mood.
until i walked down the stairs.
in the hallway where the stairs are, there is a small bay window. in the window, there hapen to be a bird. "hmm... thats odd." i thought. i figured that the bird would fly away when i got closer. but it didn't. so... naturally, i did what any curious human being would do. i tapped on the window.
the bird did not move.
so, i tapped harder....
nothing.
the poor (not to mention incredibly stupid) bird had froze to death while sitting pirched on the window sill, looking in at the nice warm house. i could almost imagine it thinking (right before it froze) 'wow... that room looks warm. i wish i could fly inside and sit in the not cold-ness of inside...) and then, it froze.
kind of a sad thought, huh?
well, there was only one thing left to do... take a picture! :)

how many times do we, as believers, know unsaved people, and we know that they are on the outside looking in, and yet we don't say anything. we leave them "out in the cold" so to speak...
moral of the story is:
don't leave your friends out in the cold. bring them in!! let them know the secret to life! share the joy you have hopefully found in being a child of the Most High God!!
... or else they might fall over dead in the fozen wasteland of life... like the stupid bird outside my window..(which, by the way, now that the snow has melted, is STILL on the window ledge, but had falled over, and is now even more pathetic than it wa

I liked how you tied in sharing our faith in to your bird story. I need to do so much more to help my friends know how to find God. Thanks for the reminder and I still want to do some outreach thing together. Stay in the battle! ;)
