From Sweden
I've arrived here in Sweden after a night flight from Atlanta to Copenhagen, Denmark. It's amazing what a few trips to India can do to a person: this flight seemed short! Hardly had time to get much sleep.
Anyway, I wanted to share some photos with you of a visitor I had at my house Tuesday night. I heard some noise on my back porch. When I opened my door I found a friendly skunk eating my cat food!
My cat, Moms, was sitting calmly on the handrail above, watching her food being devoured. I thought it would be good to get a picture of the two of them, but Moms didn't seem to want to cooperate. Just as I took the picture she made a leap for the door. In the heat of the moment I wasn't sure who was coming in the door - Moms or the skunk!
The little critter didn't seem to mind me at all. It completely ignored my attempts at conversation, and seemed quite comfortable with the camera flashes. It was actually hard to get it to look my direction.
It reminded me of when my cats first adopted me, back when they were wild and lived under my porch and ran away as soon as I opened the door. Hmmmm.... Should I try taming this guy too?

The moments of wild looking for moments of care remind me so much our relationship with God.
WOW your brave. I don't think I would have done that. Hope Sweden is nice. Surprised that you were there when I texted. My eyes kind of bugged out. Superman does go everywhere and anywhere at anytime. Enjoy. Talk to you soon.
Nope. You shouldn't try. No matter how cute he looks.
