    I read this post and the message is clear. Friends dont know us as well as our family. That why a hand from a family member is worth so much.

  2. Loved this. 

    And Luke’s comment makes me also realize one great thing about stories (as opposed to lectures): you can take from them what you need. I also saw that families love and know you better than newly-met “friends” but the thing I thought really stood out was that sometimes we’re supposed to fly the way God made us to do, and if we get all bogged down in other people’s rules we get, well, bogged down.  

    I wonder what messages others got.

    And sometimes what you receive from a story depends on what you’ve brought with you.

    What I got from it was
    a. Too many rules overcomplicate things, even when they’re well-intended
    B. Don’t let anyone take you from what God made you to be.

    You are all wrong. This story is clearly about the dilemma of the creative writing trying to find a church to belong to. Most “flocks” are full up. Clever trick substituing chickens for sheep, but the message still comes through clearly.
