Once when I was young I went out into the pasture to water the cows. I was barefoot and my toes sunk into the soft mud. It was dark, but one cow heard the water and came to drink.
It took a long time to fill the old bathtub so I had some time to think. I could see the stars, and I wondered, how far can the human eye see? I can see millions of miles, I guess, or how could I actually see the stars.
I thought about God, and if there really was one. I had been taught that there was in Sunday school, but had no personal experience with him, if he existed. If he did exist, where was he?
Was he up behind those stars, and did he really create those stars? Could people actually know and feel God like they said in Sunday school?
I sure didn’t know the answers to those questions, and about then the tub was full and started running over, even though the cow was still drinking.
I figured that supper was about ready. I was really hungry, so I went back to the house for my favorite; beans, buttered cornbread, and hamburger with ketchup.
