Susan Yerkes of the San Antonio Light reported the story of a great horned owl atop an Eckerd drugstore. Someone called the Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation shelter to report that the owl seemed sick. It hadn't moved in days. A volunteer at the agency immediately phoned the manager of the pharmacy. He said a wildlife rescue team was already en route to his store, and did he know about the owl?
Asked the direct question, the manager answered, "Yes, I am aware of the owl on our roof. But what exactly can you do for a plastic owl?"
Yerkes quotes Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation director Lynn Cuny as saying he "felt a little silly, but it's our policy to respond to every call, 24 hours a day." But he added that their policy has changed since them. "Now when we get a call on an animal that hasn't moved in several days, we ask if they're sure it's real."
The Wildlife Rescue people are dedicated to one kind of living creature. And we human beings are another kind. But what John is saying in his vision from Patmos is that every part of creation, living or not, praises God in heaven, or it isn't in heaven. And that's 24 hours a day, and it's definitely not silly.
