| The Donkey
Balaam's donkey upon returning to his master's stable from a long and eventful journey wastes no time in recounting his adventures to his fellow donkeys.
When he is done one of the donkeys speaks up (in donkey talk), "eee-aww...eee-aww"
(what kind of a jackass do you take us for?)
(are we to believe you actually saw an Angel of the Creator and that the Creator actually spoke through you?)
"EEE-aww...eee-aww"
(I did I tell you!)
"Eee-awww...eee-aww"
(maybe you ought to have a little hay, drink a little water from the trough and lay down for a bit, afterall it was a long and tiring journey)
"Eee-aww...eee-aww"
(Didn't really expect you guys to buy that, I was just uumm pulling your leg...yeah that's it, I made it all up.)
"Eee-aww...eee-aww"
(hey, you really had us going there for a minute what a kidder...great story!)
"Eee-aww...eee-aww"
(Thanks, see you guys in the mornin' I'm beat and ready to fall out)
("what goes along, gets along I guess, still gotta' live with these guys...yawn.")
Balaam's donkey lays down and notices a moonbeam streaming through a missing board in the stable, falls asleep staring at the twinkling stars in the Heavens. He dreams he hears a tender voice gently whisper to him:
"rest now little donkey you have served me well, in the morning you will remember nothing"
God Bless

Donkey II
He is the Creator we are His Creatures we spend way too much time scrutinizing facial features Masters and servants Disciples and Teachers does it matter who was on top, at the moment of conception? The child entrusted to your stewardship now, hungers for nourishment and direction Wrested authority is tyranny and should be rejected Authority is never taken only given Live exactly where you are to the fullest in Christ exactly where you are now some of the most annointed faithful received instruction while imprisoned We often miss the message because the messenger just doesn't seem to suit our expectations When we contend with donkeys and fail to ask ourselves... "how is it that this donkey is speaking" We miss the very ONE we are so desperately seeking.

| Again the cameras are rolling! I see vividly the progression of thought. Inspiration. A rare pearl. Fear of Man. Vacillation. Chickenish final chapter. Don't we all some times? But the Revelator is not finished with the clay, the donkey, the truck driver, the factory worker...and many others are also in the balance.
