First pride, then a .... by Gary Rose

Owls are often thought of as "wise" creatures, but from now on, I will have to classify them as "militaristic" as well. This owl has a bit of a "goose-step" too. Quite surprising!!!

And, then there is this passage from the book of Proverbs...

Proverbs, Chapter 30 (WEB)

 ²⁹ “There are three things which are stately in their march, 

four which are stately in going: 

  ³⁰ The lion, which is mightiest among animals, 

and doesn’t turn away for any; 

  ³¹ the greyhound; 

the male goat; 

and the king against whom there is no rising up. 

The lion has always been considered the "king of the forest", but the greyhound and the male goat being stately are new thoughts for me. I understand about the king, for human beings with power are always prideful.

As I think about that owl- he better be careful in his march, for without arms to balance with, marching is probably difficult.

Then again, he is bound for trouble- remember, pride goes before a fall!!!
