Chicken to Try a New ‘Do?

I’m reading a lot of books this summer, but one I enjoy turning to a lot is Pocketful of Poultry by Carol Ekarius. It’s a picture book about 104 kinds of fowl, including some stupendous chickens, like this one with the poufy mohawk.

It’s called the Appenzeller, developed in Switzerland. One variety, the Spitzhauben, is named for a fancy Swiss hat. Can’t you just see it? These bawkers like to roost in trees even during snowstorms. Guess they don’t worry about their feathers getting ruffled – they already are!

Makes me want to try a new and exciting hairdo. But I’m afraid to . . . lay an egg.

PRAYER REQUEST: Just heard about a mom whose teenaged son has shared that girls are sexually aggressive these days, and pressuring HIM to have sex, instead of the other way around. She wants him to be independent and make his own decisions, and so far, she is washing her hands on this decision. One senses that she lacks the resolve to tell him flat out that sex before marriage is wrong, and he shouldn’t be around girls who don’t realize that. Lord, give her the strength to advise him what she knows is right. Help him stay holy and just, because that’s Your design for our lives. (Isaiah 30:21)
