But I'm likely a crab, or a turtle. I like to hide in my shell until I know the coast is clear. Only then will I venture out. Maybe not that extreme, but ya.

Wahoo! Thanks for sharing! .... You,...Insightful! Wahoo! Thanks for sharing! .... You, Ben, and I had a similar discussion on the Mammoth Cave trip ... he said I was an ocean too. Ha ha!<BR/><BR/>Let's keep leaning on Jesus! :)Micalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09444513411212528879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643233682941179128.post-88958159249931321362009-03-09T17:16:00.000-04:002009-03-09T17:16:00.000-04:00Wow! This was a really neat post, Mama Judy. Word ...Wow! This was a really neat post, Mama Judy. Word pictures always make me happy, and always get me thinking in ways nothing else can. You (like Alec) are very good at them! <BR/><BR/>Great observations. My favorite was the one about Jesus walking on and calming the seas. The others were fabulous, too, though...I liked your point on how, if the sea was made of glass, it could not toss and turn with the wind. It could only be destroyed....like those really cool buildings that can sway in the wind and the earthquakes.<BR/><BR/>Benjamin is like a killer whale:<BR/>intense, powerful, driven, both scary and amazing. They have the ability both to attack and to play. With speed and accuracy they push ahead to achieve their goal regardless of physical consequences. <BR/>And, you know what? Killer whales live in the sea. They love the ocean. They need the ocean. If the ocean was a warm, silent, shallow baby pool, a killer whale would die. But because the ocean is deep and teeming with life, the killer whale can grow and live in safety.<BR/><BR/>Tangent, I know. But I really think that it's interesting!<BR/><BR/>I guessed you asked what animal, vegetable or mineral I was, not what animal, vegetable, or mineral the person who called you an ocean was. <BR/><BR/>Still thinking...I'll let you know when I figure it out. <BR/>Any suggestions on what I am?<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're an ocean. Constantly choppy seas make sailors seasick, yes....but as long as you aren't constantly choppy and emotionally heaving, many boats, whales, fish, etc. are very, very glad to spend time with the ocean.<BR/>I'm one of those boats, whales, fish, etc. Thanks for being you!<BR/><BR/>Keep grounded deep down and stay away from spinning whirlpools that only take you down. <BR/><BR/>Wow, that was long. But, long means I'm getting into what I'm writing, which is good. It means I care. :)<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>KiddoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
