Being Too Lazy!

I mentioned something in my post a day or two ago about cats having kittens in the summer.  My friend Carole didn't know how to comment on my blog so she wrote me the following e=mail:

"I was actually going to post this as a comment, but can't figure out how! can you tell me?  anyway, what i wanted to comment on:
Cats CAN have kittens any time of the year, but typically start going into heat in January or February, resulting in mostly April and May kittens, for the FIRST litter of the year. In July like this, this could be her second litter of the year, if she had the first litter early enough, or lost them, or was too young to go into heat during the (still) winter.

Cats CAN have up to 3 litters per year! Two is more typical. Gestation is 63-65 days long, and usually they don't go back into heat while they ae nursing."

Tragic.


I have the day off today, yes, but I am cleaning!  Not fun!  And since I have the day off, I thought I would be lazy and not have to write.  But I will share the following with you.  Its nice and easy reading.  Have a wonderful day.

The lounging lions in Kenya’s Masai Mara game reserve looked harmless. They rolled on their backs in low-lying bushes. They rubbed their faces on branches as if trying to comb their magnificent manes. They drank leisurely from a stream. They strode slowly across dry, scrubby terrain as if they had all the time in the world. The only time I saw their teeth was when one of them yawned.


Their serene appearance is deceiving, however. The reason they can be so relaxed is that they have nothing to fear—no shortage of food and no natural predators. The lions look lazy and listless, but they are the strongest and fiercest of all. One roar sends all other animals running for their lives.

Sometimes it seems as if God is lounging. When we don’t see Him at work, we conclude that He’s not doing anything. We hear people mock God and deny His existence, and we anxiously wonder why He doesn’t defend Himself. But God “will not be afraid of their voice nor be disturbed by their noise” (Isa. 31:4). He has nothing to fear. One roar from Him, and His detractors will scatter like rodents.

If you wonder why God isn’t anxious when you are, it’s because He has everything under control. He knows that Jesus, the Lion of Judah, will triumph.

When fear and worry test your faith

And anxious thoughts assail,

Remember God is in control

And He will never fail. —Sper

Because God is in control, we have nothing to fear.
