According To Acorns

Did you know, if the coming Winter is going to be more harsh than usual, oak trees will produce more acorns for the forest animals? No? Well, I didn't either. Matter of fact, I never heard that one before. Of course it reeks of superstition, but I thought I'd check it out anyway. And yes, it is only a myth. And if you think about it, it's pretty obvious. First of all, if acorn production by oak trees was a true indication of predicting the weather, all the scientists would be out measuring and reporting the acorn haul. And weather men would be keeping us abreast of the acorn count with each nightly news report. And people would have acorn gages attached to the sides of their barns], like those used for measuring rain.

The really big deal about all this is, I learned of this myth from a financial executive of a large bank. He shared this information during a bible study I attended last week. And he believes this really isn't a myth. He stated it as if it was an actual and fairly well known fact.

Now, if such pillars of our community, and true bible believing Christians, are so gullible, and so easily taken in by such mumbo jumbo, then how are people ever going to be able to understand and accept the realities of homelessness? Without a true accurate understanding of homelessness we will never be able to overcome it.
