Tell me about a Strange thing that intrigues you!
Every working day I post an OOM for the Strange things of our Maker.

Gibbsen crunched his "Tough Krunchies" thoughtfully. On slow days like this he sometimes began to wonder if the humans' food had taste sometimes. He had tasted taste once, and it was mildly interesting, though extravagant. If human food had taste all the time, he would probably feel less respect for them.
An especially loud banshee scream from their metal boxes made him jerk and swallow a prickly piece of Krunchie whole. These weren't real banshees that Adolphus Search and Rescue kept - real banshees were girls, these were fat worm things that looked like tree bark porridge and lived in narrow shoebox-sized lockers mounted in rows on the wall. They were called "banshees" because they screamed when death was near somebody.
A map of the regions monitored by the Adolphus team was portrayed on a sheet of glass: behind this a small red light turned on, crawled to a certain spot, and sat down. Gibbsen scratched between his ears with the tip of his tail (which was covered in rough scales - the rest of him was covered in long, stiff, grey fur). He didn't remember seeing the red spot settle in that area (far south of Griddleton) any time in recent years.
Who could have gotten out there, and only now be in danger?
To be continued.

Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but all the men of valor among you shall pass over armed before your brothers and shall help them,
Joshua 1:14
A man's calling may at times require him to put his family and possessions at risk. The tribes east of the Jordan had to trust God to watch over their families while they crossed over to assist their cousins. The road that God has marked out for us is frequently difficult, but God's promises are sure. If he promises to keep us and our families in his protection, then he will keep them.
From some of us, God demands little. From others he demands everything. Our first task as husbands, wives, mothers, and fathers is to trust that his plan is transcendent, always leading forward to something better.
