Too Hard to Watch

What a shock! A female cardinal was eating a live grasshopper on my patio. When I saw the struggling grasshopper being torn apart, I couldn’t watch. Even though you may say it’s just a bug, when you see a creature being eaten while it’s still alive, that’s not a pleasant sight. Memories of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs came to mind. (A book I’ll never read again!) Scenes of Christians being eaten alive by ravenously hungry lions in a public arena just because they’re followers of Jesus. May we all be so strong in our convictions!

One thought on “Too Hard to Watch

  1. Even though our home and yards are overrun with mice, gophers and squirrels, when caught and still alive I have to let them go. They never intended to interrupt my life, just live their own. Love your views, Anne
