We raise solid white Doves to display at weddings, funerals, etc... and we also raise solid white Rock Doves which are homing pigeons we release at wedding, funerals, etc... they will return home to their loft after we release them.

I let our Rock Doves out the other day and as I opened the loft to let the birds fly free I had a young bird that had never flown before going out for it's first flight of freedom. As it took off into the air a hawk swoop down and grabbed it and carried it off.

What a site. The anger boiled out of me before I could stop it. The hawk did not get a good grip and had to land with the dove about 100 yards away. I ran to help the dove and scared the hawk away. The dove seemed to be OK as I did not see any apparent injuries. I put the dove back in the loft and checked on it each day.

But about a week later while feeding the birds I found the bird dead on the loft floor.

This gave me a peek as to what sin could look like. It swoops down on the young and innocent leaving it's unnoticeable damage. Then if one does nothing to stop it, it will quickly leave you dead.

Dead to the things of God, also it would leave you physically dead such as AID does.

Well just a my thoughts after this event in my life this past week.

True freedom is found in serving Christ.

[Cross]

The sting of death is sin . . . . But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. —1 Corinthians 15:56-57
