Merry Christmas

Brought Hershey and Georgia bunnies in to the vet for a regular check/recheck, and they got a clean bill of health. Georgia has a heart murmur that we keep an eye on. Hershey had his teeth checked (what teeth he has left) and got a bit of a shave to his backside, to get rid of some mats... enough said...

So, tonight is our Christmas eve service, and the weather does not look like it will be bad. The tree is up, a few presents purchased and wrapped, Christmas day promises to be a peaceful and uneventful one. I hope the same goes for everyone. Happy holidays and a very merry Christmas!

Starfish Story
Once a man was walking along a beach.
The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Off in the distance he could see a person going back and forth between the surf's edge and and the beach. Back and forth this person went. As the man approached he could see that there were hundreds of starfish stranded on the sand as the result of the natural action of the tide.

The man was struck by the the apparent futility of the task. There were far too many starfish. Many of them were sure to perish. As he approached, the person continued the task of picking up starfish one by one and throwing them into the surf.

As he came up to the person he said, "You must be crazy. There are thousands of miles of beach covered with starfish. You can't possibly make a difference." The person looked at the man. He then stooped down and pick up one more starfish and threw it back into the ocean. He turned back to the man and said, "It sure made a difference to that one!"
