If Birds Could Speak

Over the last couple days, I have seriously been asking myself the question: „What if birds could speak.“

Walking around Rome you can‘t help but take notice of the many birds. They fly around living life for no other reason than that it‘s been given to them. It glorifies the creator that they live because He‘s given them life to live. For what other reason does a bird fly than to please the almighty? It‘s somewhat ironic that these birds, who have been around in Rome longer than the Romans, live for the very creator, who to this day is not recognized in total obedient surrender and worship. How is it that a flock of birds can be more intelligent than humans?

I‘m very tired though I do find this topic interesting and will most likely find myself continually coming back to this basic idea.



Today some of the pastors left for home and now there‘s a group of about 20 of us who are still here. We went into the city together this evening and just got back a little while ago. It was a good time to be with friends and finally enjoy some fellowship together. Rome is truly a city worth coming to in order to explore. Just walking the streets without a goal is destination enough. Around every corner lies some sort of unbelievable beauty, which you just need time to take in. And that‘s precisely the problem. Rome doesn‘t allow enough time to see her. She has you moving from here to there. The rhythm of her heart beats steadily and constant. She doesn‘t stop, feeding on you for her own survival. And you let her because you want to be taken in by her and shown everything, even though you know it‘s just about time to make your way back home.



I have to be honest: I‘m more looking forward to going home than to staying in Rome. But I can see that feeling and even feel inside my own bones. There is something about this city that invites you to stay. It truly is incredible.
I spoke with my wife this evening, That is an experience, which goes beyond all human understanding or reason. I am enthralled by her and desire to just be in her presence. She is my Jezreel sanctified. Thank you sweetheart.
