Walking with Jesus amongst the Birds

                                                     CHAPTER 35

  Well not much new to report here. The kids were a little grumpy today but other than that it's been the average uneventful day. I think I'll tell about a dream I had about a year ago. I know that if I don't write it down now I eventually will forget all the details of it.

                                  Walking with Jesus Amongst the Birds

  I was walking through what looked to be a large open animal preserve, the kind you can drive through and interact with. I appeared to be in the section where all the birds are but mainly I saw a bunch of cranes. As I walked down a dirt path I was met by a familiar face, it was Jesus. He came along side me and we walked together as two best friends would do. As we walked along we came to watch looked like an orchard. The trees were full of bright green leaves but there was no fruit on the tree's or the ground. I asked Jesus what this meant to which he replied "The evil that has been allowed to habitate, keeps my children from bearing fruit." He went on to say something about how the fruit also represents our children but I don't want to quote him there because I don't remember it word for word. We began to walk again,down the same path to my left there was a grove of regular tree's,Aspen perhaps.Suddenly, at the edge of the tree-line I saw a bear come charging towards us. Luckily, I thought, there was a fence between us (the electrified kind)The bear stopped short of the fence. Jesus climbed over the fence and began to pet the bear on the head then he called me over to do the same. I shook my head at him, I was so scared. Jesus then told me "Do not be afraid, he is my friend." I went over and began to pet this bear on the head and found that though he was scary to behold he was tame.

    We left that enclosure and started on the path again. A little ways up the path we came to another enclosure with a huge bull in it. The bull had an oddly shaped geometric head and it was bucking wildly. Again Jesus went into the enclosure with the bull and began to pet  it. Again he called me to do the same and again I was freaked out of my mind. Jesus then said again "Do not be afraid, he is also my friend." So I went into the enclosure and began to pet the bull only to find that he was also tame. We left that enclosure and Jesus took me to a house. The house was only one room, a bedroom. At this point Jesus had left and it became night. I got into the bed and was about to go to sleep when I heard a loud crash. The bear I had saw earlier came crashing through the wall of my room. Again I was frightened at first but then I remembered that though he was scary he was a friend of Jesus and was quite tame. I got out of bed and walked over to the bear and petted it then the bear left. I went and got back into bed. Moments later another crash, this time it was the bull crashing through my bedroom wall. Again I got up and petted the animal and again the animal left. Then I woke up.
