They are bird dogs that do the majority of their work in the water. They sit still in the cold and wet, while men and women with guns blast ducks from the sky. Then at the command of their master, they run, swim, and slog to go retrieve ducks. These dogs have to be comfortable in the water, in a boat, in a truck, and around shotguns. They have to recognize ducks, retrieve ducks, leam the non-retrieve, and know the hand signals given by their master to lead them to a duck that only he, not the dog, can see. My friend (and personal expert source on duck hunting dogs) Josh Cammack says that training dogs for duck hunting takes any where from nine months to one year with a special trainer. However, the most important part of their training starts at the puppy stage. See, duck dog training starts with basic obedience - sit and stay, and come on command. If a dog can’t obey these basics, he will never be good for duck hunting Josh says, “These dogs have to be willing, submis sive, and they have to trust their master.” Just like duck dogs, God trains us in basic obedience. We have to learn to be willing, submis sive, and to trust our Master. We have to be able to recognize and listen to His voice. To teach us to recognize and listen to His voice, God tells us “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sit, stay, and keep your eyes on Me. It is hard for us to be still! The native Hawaiians coined a word for the white mainlanders who started arriving in Hawaii - Haole. Haole means “no breath”. The story goes that they gave them the name “no breath” because they kept so busy as to be out of breath. Does Haole describe you? Are you out of breath from a busy life? Here’s my encouragement to you today - get out your bible, be still, and listen to God’s voice.

This is true even for those of us who work jobs far removed from the farm. Non farm work allows you to rely on others to grow and preserve your food, which you then pick up from the grocery store during the year. So what’s the connection between producing food and DST? Most agricultural workers are seen as being against DST when actually it is the changing back and forth between the DST and standard time that they oppose. Time changing messes up a farm’s carefully crafted schedules. For creatures that can’t read a clock, animals have a keenly honed sense of time and tend to get upset when food or milking is too early or too late. Field workers’ schedules have to be adjusted too, and on a big farm that is time consuming. Here on the homestead the time change means a few weeks of generalized grumpiness and confusion. If you feed goats early, they still want dinner at the regular time. If you feed them late, you have to listen to them bellowing for an hour till food shows up. I’m with the goats and the farmers on this. Pick a time standard and stick with it! ( Buck Creek United Methodist Church Buck CtHK w^sacnjkMzro in 1*75 tf® KAMffiK* * t'RUK.
