An Acorn Woodpecker never forgets. Staring at a woodpecker granary makes you consider the sorts of words you’re storing up and filing away.
BIRDING LESSONS AND THE CHRISTIAN FAITH
LATEST NEWS
When Jesus called us to consider the birds, none of his followers had a life list, a biology degree, or even a pair of binoculars. But sometimes he used our feathered friends to illustrate the wonders of redemptive love, trusting faith, and unshakable hope. To savor God's creative wow-ness, no advanced degrees are required; you just have to be attentive.
Ornitheology was featured on Joni Eareckson Tada's Joni and Friends radio show on March 18. Listen to her four-minute encouragement based on the "Arctic Tern" post. Joni graciously encouraged her listeners to "join the chatter, and learn what the God of the Bible has to teach us through these delightful birds and more." Thank you, Joni, honorary ornitheologist!
