I feel I know you so well already brother and find it amazing that we appreciate so many similar things. I suppose I should not be surprised since we have the same spiritual DNA!Andrew Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714318748847734699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-512615033583182026.post-87782485994168225242010-10-24T08:52:41.172-07:002010-10-24T08:52:41.172-07:00What a wonderful short film your story about your ...What a wonderful short film your story about your wild donkey ride, your breaking your arm, and your crisis of faith with the circular saw would make! As I read your account, I could see it all happening right before my very eyes.<br /><br />Somehow, I've never pictured Ireland as a country where there would be donkeys, let alone wild ones (wild in the sense of bad tempered, but still domesticated). To me the thought of a donkey ride reminds me of the Greek islands, or somewhere in the Middle East. We just don't see many donkeys on farms where I have lived.<br /><br />Now, I can't wait till I can come to Northern Ireland and have you show me where your precipitous donkey dive happened. Just another thing to look forward to. County Donegal, did you say? That's the only county of Ulster that's in the Republic of Ireland, isn't it?<br /><br />Anyway, I'm honored that you would borrow from my humble blog. I've really enjoyed the other things you've been putting up here lately. Always encouraging to meet the Word of God in unexpected places!
