God answers prayer...in funny ways sometimes

Every morning in Zi Gong, a rooster started crowing about 4:30 am. Sometimes I could sleep through it, but most of the time, it woke me up for at least a few minutes. For a while I used this as a reminder to pray, but as time went on, and my lack of sleep increased I prayed,

Lord, please make that rooster my dinner!

We often had meat that could have been chicken (or duck or rabbit)
And a day or two later....no rooster. Hooray!

The next day, a dog started barking at 4:30 am.

*sigh*
