Place yourself in a position from which you actually have solidi footing, because here at TFWG we know fact from fiction, faith from fancy, and vindictive jealousy from genuine interest in friendship.
Naturally, one person who heard about my Dove yesterday has proclaimed that it was an omen of death. So, here are the facts, having studied all:
1. For those imbeciles who are superstitious, if a swallow flies with its breast straight up along your window there will be a death. If that were so, and God were sending a message of death, he would find a swallow, even in an area where they do take up residence.
2. The significance of seeing a bird with outstretched wings is, to people of faith, I read this morning, is that it reminds us of the Cross, on which Christ died even for vindictive, jealous imbeciles - if they care to receive Him, regardless of what pew they warmed, since even Satan goes to church and knows the Bible better than most.
3. Interestingly enough, the Dove symbolizes the Spirit of the Living God, who also descended upon Christ at His baptism, while a thunderous Voice proclaimed, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased." This does not necessarily imply that God is well pleased with me, just that I thought of Him and Life, not of death and misery. His joy is my strength.
4. So, we had a Dove (and you didn't, whatever you are) that stayed over the water and flapped its wings with tail down, as birds are prone to do, before then gracefully flew to the water for a drink.
