A small testimony to the universal desire for freedom: “He just got out somehow,” said his friend, who inherited his care from his parents, and who put up “Wanted” flyers all over his neighborhood, hoping his friend would be found by April by some kind person who’d take him in.
Schloeman said Willie has no particular personality, and didn’t appear personally anguished over his disappearance.“You can’t get close to a turtle,” he said.
The “wanted” poster, which I like the writer first saw at Sean Casey’s Animal Rescue—-which I wrote about here —-cracked me up. “Ran away after 70 years,” it says.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
