My wife called me to come look. I never know what that is going to mean so I went in trepidation. It turns out that she was looking out a window and watching “her” roadrunner. He was back after being gone for a few months. And he brought a “friend”.
I thought I would look up “roadrunners” and see if she was solid in her belief that they ate snakes. What I found really interesting was that the Latin name for the greater roadrunner was Geococcyx californianus. Evidently that translates as “Californian earth-cuckoo”. I think that maybe we should replace the bear on the state flag with a roadrunner. Or perhaps we could print California bonds for the high speed rail with a picture of Moonbeam Brown with the title of “California earth-cuckoo”.
I still have not found out if they eat snakes.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
