June Bug


May 24th
I saw my first June bug of the season…one full week ahead of schedule…crawling along the driveway in the early morning darkness, illuminated only by the light that hangs above the garage. I suppressed the notion to squash it, just because I could. Perhaps God has some plan for that little bug that I am unaware of. I decided to save the capital punishment for those more pesky insects like spiders, mosquitoes and cockroaches. Surely they don’t fit into God’s plan. Like the first snowfall points to the coming of winter, the first June bug must mean summer is almost here.

Thank you, Lord, for the change of seasons
I know that you must have your reasons.
If it was up to me, I would leave out summer
With all the heat I think it’s a bummer.
Amen.
