Balaam and his Donkey
In Morning Prayer today, we read the account of Balaam and his donkey from Numbers 22. Know what I find most amazing about this story? When the donkey spoke to Balaam, Balaam spoke back and carried on a conversation with her! Had a donkey spoken to me, I don't think I would have been so calm . . .

I've always gotten a kick out of the way Balaam responded so nonchalantly. I've wondered if that was the result of many years of lonely desert travel - maybe he'd already been talking to the donkey for years. This was just the first time it actually responded.
Go Phillies! (Sorry - I saw another VA-based Lutheran Phillies fan & had to respond.)
HappyFox,
I like your thoughts here . . . and nice to know another Phillies fan. Thanks for posting.
