THE SENSE THAT GOD GAVE GEESE ...

When you see geese flying along in "V" formation, you might consider

what science has discovered as to why they fly that way.  As each bird

flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. 

By flying in "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71 percent 

greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.

People who share a common direction and sense of community

can get where they are going more quickly and easily because

they are traveling on the thrust of one another.

When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag

and resistance of trying to go it alone-and quickly gets back

into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the

bird in front. If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay

in formation with those people who are headed the same way

we are.

When the head goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wing and

another goose flies point. It is sensible to take turns doing

demanding jobs, whether with people or with geese flying south.

Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up

their speed. What messages do we give when we honk from behind?

Finally - and this is important-when a goose gets sick or is wounded

by gunshot, and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with

that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay

with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies, and only

then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to

catch up with their group.

If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like that.
