Woodpeckers are protected and
when they stake out their territory it’s nearly impossible to get rid of
them...legally. One persistent bird has taken a liking to my daughter and
son-in-law’s house, but rather than attacking the wood siding this bird is attacking
an attic vent on the roof which has a large metal cap. From inside the house he
sounds like Rosie the Riveter. I doubt he can actually do much damage, but it
is bewildering that he returns multiple times a day. Sometimes we believers are
not much smarter than this woodpecker and it’s not unusual for us to keep
hammering on the hard hearts of the unsaved. Jesus sent the Twelve out with
clear instructions on how to deal with those in towns or villages who do not
accept the Gospel, “If anyone will
not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you
leave that home or town” (Matt 10:14 NIV).
