I used to sit on the back porch on Thursday mornings with Irv and Jonathan and Nick. We would talk and pray together. Irv is in heaven now, Jonathan’s in Mexico, and NIck comes at other times.

I do have other friends though who still join me. Redbird. Mr. Squirrel and his playmate. Chipmunk who chews with his fast teeth. And sometimes Brer Rabbit passes through. So I do have feathered and furry friends.
