Hummingbird Feeder
We need to share our joy with those we know and those who just come in to visit!
As I write, our overwintering hummingbird has built a nest outside my desk window and, at last check, had one egg in it about as big as the tip of your little finger.
Hummingbirds ordinarily spend the winter in the tropics. We see them in summer, but come the fall, they go. But in certain subtropical locations, the hardier species will occasionally stick around if they have a good nectar-producing tree that blossoms all year.
Every living thing needs sustenance and a place conducive to growth and raising its young.
We in God's Church should exude the nectar that nourishes! We should reflect and give off God's Holy Spirit.
Quite a number have found a home with us over the years. Many have stayed and been nourished, but not all.
Some few have thought, for whatever reason, that they were neglected and when a "hard frost" came, they left our fellowship for what they imagined would be a "warmer climate."
We need to share our joy with those we know and those who just come in to visit! We are not the nectar, but we can (and should) be the hummingbird feeder.

Skip Miller
William (Skip) Miller grew up with a Roman Catholic upbringing, with Catechism classes in grammar school and Jesuit training in high school. These prepared Skip academically for life. But it was enjoying Reader’s Digest in the 1950s—encouraged by his mother—that set the tone for what life was all about. God’s Word—the Bible—is helping him continue that mission.
After a stint in the USAF as a Military Public Health Technician he moved from LA to San Diego to complete college. At San Diego State he began teaching and retired from San Diego City Schools in 2003. While at college he met his future wife, Suzanne, and they attended the World Tomorrow lectures in 1971.
Both like to read widely, write their opinions and study God’s Word. In addition, they have been blessed with two children (10 years apart, Lily and William) who are also accepting the challenge of true Christianity in Satan’s world. They have been blessed with good health—a big help in the job of grandparenting. The whole family, present and future, enjoys camping and fishing for trout in the High Sierras, and after 52 years God still allows Skip to surf once or twice a week.
