God bless. God blessed us with Paul Harvey. News and opinion that was interesting and a style all his own. I especially loved his Christmas story about the man who did not attend the Christmas Eve church service with his wife because he just didn't believe all that business about Christianity. A terrible snow squall whips up and he notices a little flock of birds huddled on the ground midway between the house and the barn. He knows if they sit there too long they will freeze to death so he opens the barn door wide for them as it is safe and relatively warmer but the birds just sit there. He turns on the lights in the barn because he thinks the birds don't see the door but still they just sit there. He then tries luring them with seed; no luck. He tries to flush them into the barn but they just fly a short distance then huddle back together. He thinks to himself, "if only there were some way I could communicate with them to show them where safety is. If only I could become a bird too, then I could show them how to enter the barn" and it is then he hears the church bells chiming in the village, just a short distance away!
