A Peculiar Cat And A Peculiar People

Our kitten, Osha, is a little strange: she fetches. Now, I know what you're all thinking: you can't teach a cat to fetch — a dog maybe, but not a cat. Well, Osha is different, and I have proof. Here is a video of Osha fetching her crinkle ball.

Osha is definitely not a typical cat. She is peculiar because anyone who has owned both cats and dogs knows that cats are rarely obedient and cannot be trained to do fancy tricks. (Although Tim says he once taught a cat to come to her name.)

The Bible says that as children of God, we are to be peculiar in this world too because we are called out of darkness into God's marvellous light.

"But ye are a chosen generation, 

a royal priesthood, 

an holy nation, 

a peculiar people; 

that ye should show forth the praises of Him 

who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light."

1 Peter 2:9

Just like Osha is peculiar in the cat world, we are to be peculiar in the human world. Osha goes against the norm and fetches her crinkle ball for Tim. We need to go against the norm and obey God, our Master.
