I get my inspiration for my stories from lots of places but one of the most bizarre was the inspiration for Buzz the Buzzard. One day while driving home from school I noticed something in the highway ahead of me. The closer I got I saw that it was the carcass of a dead animal. Around here this is definitely a familiar thing to see. However, the closer I got to the dead animal I saw something that I had never seen before. There lying on the pavement with the carcass was also the dead body of a buzzard. How strange!!! Usually buzzards time their flying from the carcass in the highway perfectly so as to give themselves plenty of time before getting hit by an oncoming car. Well obviously this particular buzzard was just a few seconds too late. He must have been enjoying his meal too much to notice the approaching car and he paid dearly for it. Because of his deciding to stay amongst the rotting decay rather than flying away, he died. Then the thought came to me about our choice between staying in our rotting and decaying sins or accepting Jesus as our Savior. Unlike Buzz, I hope and pray we will turn our eyes from the world and choose Jesus Christ which will assure us of an eternal home in heaven.
