Danny and Bernie
Leo, Barney and Kimba kind of hit the road when Bernie's tail went up, but for some Danny wanted to make friends. Danny waited and Bernie slowly made his way over to him. They each studied and sniffed each other. Danny said, "Want to play?" Bernie said, "Want to race I am a pretty good runner." Danny said so was he. "Let's race to that far tree." "Ready, set, Go!" Off they went. They each couldn't believe it for they reached the tree at the same time. They spotted a berry bush that they each knew and headed towards it.

All the Leaves are Falling
In November when the leaves are falling what do I think of doing, but going out and raking them up into a huge pile and then jumping into that said pile. When I am done jumping and throwing up all the leaves begin raking them again, and I would do that at three times before raking them up and bagging them or placing them on a garden for some fertilizer when they decay into the soil and protecting the roots to some flowers from the cold and frost. Raking the leaves is a chore, but a fun chore for me.

The Book of Numbers
The Book of Numbers to me at the beginning seemed like the ancient world as it the chapter said is a census of all the people of the family tribes, and we still do a census every 10 years to see how things have increased or decreased due to various environmental crisis's, births/deaths, illnesses or cultural adversities that have occurred over 1o years. I mentioned in another drabble that it seemed to be an accounting of what needs to be done to create a community of believers to how much everything costs to do everything for self and the Lord.

Leviticus 18
I seem to have found Leviticus 18 one that I think could be used as part of a family therapy group for us to use with individuals of the family and small group intervention. This NIV chapter entitled 'Unlawful Sexual Relations' could be used in sharing what the inappropriate behaviors are with family and various other relations. At the end of this chapter they said that the perpetrator should be cut away from all others. All of us must remember this one phrase in all that we do day in and day out. "I am the Lord your God." Pray.

Danny and Friends Meet Someone
Danny and his friends were all outside playing when for some reason Kimba looked up and saw something coming through the tall grass outside Danny's den. Leo, the brave one started to move towards it but stopped. This animal was all black with a stripe down it's back. It stopped and turned around with its tail stuck straight up but seemed to walk away from them. Suddenly this animal turns back around and squirted at Leo. "Hey, why you do that? Who are you? Want to be friends? "You want to be friends with me?" "Why not with you, why?

Barney one of Danny's friends
Well, it's about time you got to me I am Barney and Danny is my best friend, and what I like to do is just play with my friends Leo and Kimba too. When we get all together, we like to play in the stream outside our dens and even try to catch some fish, but they seem to always get away from us. If I remember another thing, we seem to always do is chase each other around in all directions. There was one day when we were out playing, we saw what looked like a friend, but "Uh,oh."

Another of Danny's friends
You have met Danny and Leo and now you are meeting me Kimba and those two are such a hoot to play with now and then. Well, I like to climb all over things, and I can balance really well, but it seems that Danny and Leo seem to always fall off whatever we are climbing on or over all the time and I can tell that they get frustrated for they bicker at each other. We also like to play hide and seek a lot till our mom's call us home when the sun begins to go down suddenly.

Jokey and Farmer Smurf were out in the center of Smurf Village setting up for the Spring Festival. Farmer Smurf had a wheelbarrow of flowers and was going to set them right in the center of the village, when all of a sudden Gargamel and Azriel appeared right where Farmer set the flowers. They ran straight for Papa Smurf. Papa saw and ran out and said his own magic so that Gargamel! would not remember what and where he was and told him to go back to his house. Papa, Farmer and the rest all had a Smurfy festival time.

Leviticus 2
In a section entitled 'Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden' kind of reminded me of when some people would pull over and pick up roadkill no matter the animal, but mainly deer and at times possums or some such animal. The punishment in Leviticus is to cut off that person from the community. I do not think that would work today, but still I believe if one gets caught there is a fine of sorts, and actually unless you know that a certain person or family is really hurting that they have to eat roadkill you should offer help to them.
