I Love
       

I love how my wife says operators are standing by, whenever I'm out of town and she wants to chat.

I love that birds can see stars and that even fruit flies need sleep.

I love that an African grey parrot learned how to use 100 words and that his last words were: Be good and I love you.

I love how Jesus stopped a crowd of men from stoning a woman just by writing in the sand.

I love that an octopus has three hearts.

I love that Mother Theresa only heard from God one time, and it was enough.

I love that some birds mate for life—and that after one dies, the survivor sings both parts of their song.

I love that our brains are mostly water.

I love that some people believe in heaven. And some don't.

I love that an owl visited my wife in a dream and that my wife said hello and asked: Are you the kind of owl that people refer to as a barred owl?

I love that what saves one person is not the same as what saves someone else.

I love how the word cranium sounds like the name of a flower.

I love that my mother keeps wanting to show me her garden.

I love that the owl answered back.
