Heron the traveler

Imagine yourself a half a world away from the United States.

Then, teach several hundred children at a local school.

Everyone is very excited.

I'm teaching a class to students asking them to look out the window to see the atmosphere.

Outside the window I see the shape of a great blue heron.

I was in shock that a bird that we're so familiar with was here in Africa!

Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, God designed the world that way.

God made the animals.

He also made the Goliath heron that I saw out the window in Africa!

Still shaking my head two years later.

I love this world we live in, (maybe not all aspects of it.)

Don't you?
