Got My Goat

My wife had foot surgery a month ago, and we are in the middle of a major kitchen remodel. This and a busy work schedule meant she had not yet seen Star Wars III. So, we played hooky this afternoon and went to see it.

We discovered we had a visitor in the backyard when we got home. Our neighbors trapped him there.

The goat decided he was tired of looking at us, so he moseyed over to the opening under our back porch and took a breather.

Animal control showed up about thirty minutes later and gently persuaded the little fella to go for a ride. (I couldn’t help but think how he reminded me of my demeanor going to presbytery meetings.)

With some coaxing, the goat got on board and was off to the shelter while they hunted for his owners.

Not sure what any of this has to do with anything. Maybe there is a metaphorical message from God. Any thoughts? Anyway, it was a fun adventure. (Except maybe for the goat.)

    So maybe you and I are the goats amongst the pure bred sheep? Hmmm… Maybe I should grow a goatee in symbolic solidarity.
