Wednesday, Don and I took a trek to Springfield, Missouri, the largest city in our area, and made the requisite stops: Walmart, Sam's Club, and Bass Pro Shop. At Bass Pro, between the Starbucks counter and the fishing department, was a large alligator in his own, specially designed enclosure, complete with a pond with waterfalls and a platform for "sunning". I generally feel somewhat sorry for wild animals in captivity, but an employee there related that he was moved to Bass Pro from a much smaller enclosure. They call him King George, and he did look regally happy, sprawled out on the platform, snoozing with a smile on his face. Then he woke up, and in all his reptile majesty, he winked at me!
For me, life is fairly simple: love God, love your neighbor, do your art. As a Christian, my first priority is loving God, and I believe a part of loving Him is being grateful for what He's given us. Here in the Ozarks, we have much to appreciate and enjoy. And so this blog attempts to do a little of this: appreciate God's wonders, and share them with you, my neighbors.
