Whose eye is on the sparrow?

I am traumatized! I went out to walk the dog and upon hearing an odd noise looked up. You know those coiled, energy saver lightbulbs? The landlord had stuck one of those in the porchlight and somehow a sparrow had gotten its leg caught between the coils. It was flopping around trying to get loose. There's no telling how long the poor thing had been there but there was blood spattered everywhere. I am a wuss. I went to get the neighbor man to get it down. He wasn't any happier about having to do it than I was but he cowboyed up. The bird was able to fly away.

Life throws us some curve balls that are hard to hit. Bless you my friend, things are about to get great for you. It is in the tea leaves!
