Donkeys!

Now, I think donkey's are really cool animals, so when I found this story on the BBC, I just had to post it. It is about a new clinic that opened in Ethiopia just for donkeys. It says that they use bible passages to convince the farmers to treat their donkeys better. In honor of this story, I will also post my favorite poem:


The Donkey


When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.

With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings
The devil's walking parody
On all four-footed things.

The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.

Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.

- G.K. Chesterton


Yours in Christ,
