The big brown squirrel awoke one day, full of the glee that comes from knowing his entire day could be spent in the redemption act of discernment. As he opened his eyes to the lovely creation all around him, a deep sense of shalom overpowered his tiny soul. He quickly set about his life’s vocation of nut-gathing, for which God had well equipped him with a marvelous set of large, white, Dutch teeth. Completely engaged in his task, he thought of how much he would like to be a human image-bearer for God, but eventually concluded that his station in life was a direct result of the fall. While he waited longingly for some nice Calvinist to come along and redeem him, he took a brief break from his nut-gathering in order to flesh out his worldview to include almonds as well as walnuts. Finally, as the sun was setting over the Engineering Building, he calmly reflected on how serendipitous it was that his great calling of nut-gathering so clearly met the world’s great need of excess nut-removal.
