I have always loved owls--they are such beautiful birds. I found one outside that froze to death a few years ago; a small white snow owl. Its fur was incredibly soft. I have been feeling guilty about my love of owls and the fact that I have many around the house--in prints, paintings, ceramic. And then I read this reply on Wyatt's thread: "Our God created a beautiful bird. Treat them for God’s Glory and you take their power in your mind away from them."
