Suppose you're a snail.
The bad news: You may be eaten by a bird.
The good news: You've got a 15% chance of surviving the experience!

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Stand by the door when the thrush knocks,
and the last light of the setting sun
will shine upon the keyhole…
and last night’s snail making a run for it.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen the words “snail” and “run” in the same sentence.
I think the good news is that I’m not a snail.
