I should tell my owl story. Once, at about this time of year, back in 2002 or 2003, I was thinking about snowy owls and how I would love to see one in the wild and so I prayed to God to see one. Just a few days later, I was driving to some meeting, and I didn't want to be too early, and the was no traffic so I was driving slowly. All of the sudden there was a huge, beautiful snowy owl flying right along side of the passenger window, and she looked right in at me in a nice hello way. I can't describe the feeling, it was just so 'awe and beautiful'.
