Bullfrogs and Butterflies

I’m departing from the Bible Sampler again to share wonder with you all:

They’ve been passing overhead for three days now. Bless their hearts.

I’ve been gardening, and look who was buried in my flowerbed:

His eyes were psychedelic. Bless his heart.

Did you listen during these videos? Did you hear the thunderous booms? They are the sounds of freedom, courtesy of the United States Marine Corps.

Bless their hearts.

P.S. Did anyone else think of the Barry McGuire children’s song?
