          This is quite a stretch. But I just read that the UK’s Rabbit Grand National was held in January in the dignified Yorkshire town of Harrogate.

          And what is that? You may well ask, because I plan to clue you in.

          It seems this sport of rabbit jumping started in the small southern Swedish town of Varalov, and Swedes have been raising show jumping rabbits since the l980’s.

          All it is, it seems, is to train rabbits to run a course, much like a steeplechase course, to see who does it without mistake in the fastest time.

          The race in Harrogate was won by Cheri, 2-year old Swedish bunny, who did it in just 11 seconds.

          That’s the story. Most of the people engaged in this pursuit are teenage girls. But anyone can get some rabbits and train them.

          Now, did that make your day?

          Try adding this truth from the Psalm.
              “How good it is to sing praises to our God.
               How pleasant and fitting to praise Him. . .
               Great is our God, and mighty in power.
               His understanding has no limit.” Ps. 147,1.4
