I have been collecting some hawk stories. Over by the Conoco station by church, there is a high wire that attracts a gaggle of pigeons. I know it is a gaggle of geese, what do you call a pile of pigeons?
Anyway, there is always a bunch of them on the high wire. If you look around, there is also a lone hawk that stays pretty close to the area. Someone told me that they have seen the hawk take a pigeon in flight, but never off the line. It is like the pigeons just sit there on the line, knowing that the hawk won't bother them when they are in their group. But, take off on your own, and you are fair game. Pigeon flying alone = hawk lunch.
Moral of the story: there are many enemies, predators out there in life. We do better when we stick together.
See you in God's house today.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Reminds me of this quote: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." African proverb
I'm confused now, about what we call the people in the Senate. Are they hawks and doves, or are they hawks and pigeons?
Never hurts to ask.
