OMB No I was never saved once. I was never lost. That is a bible story. Even if I were able to explain you would not understand because of the way man thinks in concepts of a whole thing and not each individual item (or atom) in the concept. Basically we have a spiritual life and a a physical life. The spirit is the true self. The spirit must die (transition) to be buried in matter. When the body has served its purpose the body dies and the spirit lives again. Our concept of EGO or self prevents true understanding of the real self.

A Rascal Squirrel has been raiding our bird feeder. Now I'm aware, that that squirrel is only doing what comes naturally . However, in all fairness, that bird seed we put out is for the birds, not for the squirrels. So---what to do. We have the feeder on a six foot high 4 x 4 post where we can see it from our window and watch the birds come and go. Solutions? We thought of several. Sticky glue/honey. Put the feeder at a different site using a round metal pole. Use a gun and shoot the squirrel (s). Create some sort of trap and redeposit the squirrels a few miles away. Take the bird feeder down and admit defeat. Cry a lot. Well---my good wife came up with a solution that has been working great now for the last several days. OMB
