A few weeks ago, as Betty and I hiked Fair Haven we came upon a giant Sweet Gum tree that a beaver had gnawed down. He has done this before even cutting down a small Giant Sequoia that we had been growing for ten years. I determined that day that I was going to kill the beaver. I see them all the time, so I was fairly confident of ridding myself of this aggressive fellow. For days I thought about my decision more and more and realized I didn’t really want to kill a beaver. When we left to return to west Tennessee, I prayed God would keep the beaver off His land and away from His trees. I do not know the moral of this story but only that I can’t kill something unless it is for something bigger than a tree. I hope whatever the moral is I don’t have to learn very often.
