(BBE).
When making a trip to Kansas recently my husband and I were amazed at how many dead armadillos we saw along the roadsides in Missouri and Kansas. We had seen armadillos when traveling in Florida, but hadn’t realized that we would see them as we traveled west from Indiana.
Let’s just say these guys were
not in good shape—squished armadillos, dismembered armadillos, armadillos being circled by buzzards, armadillos being eaten by
buzzards—never once did we see a

I texted my son, Brian, about the dead
creatures. He remarked that armadillos were just possums wearing armor,
which sparked a thought about the Armor of God. (I love finding things in everyday life that speak of
