Sunday greetings everyone!

Today's video share is an example of how the perspective from which you look at something can really change your . . . . . . perspective on it.

Above water, Flamingos are beautiful. But under the water, they look and eat like a child's playtime vacuum or a dream you might have when you are fevered. I was pretty surprised to see what is really going on under there.

Now, ponder this for a minute. Imagine you had only ever experienced flamingos from the underwater perspective and then saw video of them above water for the first time. You'd probably be amazed that they were so graceful.

This is a reminder to me that I can experience other people or cultures over and over in a way that reinforces my limited perspective on them, while missing whole other truths and realities about them as a whole.

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing!

Albert Einstein was also recognized as the original absent-minded professor. One day, on board a train, he was unable to find his ticket. The conductor said, "Take it easy. You'll find it."

When the conductor returned, the professor still couldn't find the ticket. The conductor, recognizing the famous scientist, said, "I'm sure you bought a ticket. Forget about it."

"You're very kind," the professor said, "but I must find it, otherwise I won't know where to get off."

I had just moved to an address between Sunrise Ave. and Sunset Blvd., one of Sacramento's major streets, and was explaining to a clerk where my home was located for billing purposes.

"I live between Sunrise and Sunset," I told her.

"Oh, Honey," she knowingly replied, "we all do."

The Game Warden stopped a deer hunter and asked to see his hunting license.

"This is last year's license," the warden informed him.

"I know," said the hunter, "but I shouldn't need a new license. I am only shooting at the deer I missed last year."

Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . . 

Some people say we are living in the "new normal." I'm not sure exactly what they mean, and I don't have the time to ask, nor the desire.

If the "new normal" is what I have been experiencing in the parsonage for the last several months, I'm all for it. Let it continue. Everybody should be able to live their own normal.

Because of being limited, as far as traveling is concerned and going shopping or whatever, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I have spent a lot of time at home enjoying our time together.
