We think they have gone to the bottom of the pond to hibrinate for the winter.
Could the raccons have eaten them?
We may have to wait for spring-time to discover the true answer. Waiting is always a hard thing to do most of us want answers immediately.
Life seems to be full of questions; for examle "Why" or for a Christian why was our prayer not answered. When we ask questions we have to face the tough answers.
"Jewish Wisdom encourages us to be skeptics, sacred skeptics. Skepticism inspires us to want to know more. When you find one answer it is time to find a better question. The truth can set us free but only if we are in the process of discovering it."
"Life will be an ongoing act of creating, revealing and discovering. Each person, each culture, each religion has part of the truth; none has it all. Profound truth can lie within paradox."
But for me I find that in the words of Jesus there is life and truth; some of which is hidden; and some of his words are now being questioned.
I agree with John Dominic Crossan who said the ancient stories in history are told Symbolically and we are dumb enough to take them Literally.
Sound fishy to you?

Prayer is good, but it goes in, not out. God is not a web-site where you place orders. God is not Santa Claus. Asking God for things is heathenism: Jesus didn't say, "look at the sparrows and how hard they pray -- if you pray just as hard you will be fine!" He said, "relax - the bounty that is God is made manifest everywhere." Really, you can't avoid it, although most of us (including me) spend a good deal of time doing just that.
I didn't find the little gloves, but the real winter mitts are safe.
