Bats! Personally, I can't stand them! But this is one of people's favorite chapters in my new book, "Nature at Night - Finding Faith, Wonder & Resilience After Dark." Find out why I collapsed to the pavement when under a tree of bats in Australia. Discover what my brother did when he found one in his hair one night. And learn how my mother used her tennis skills to rid our house of them. Oh, and best of all- see how God uses is bats to do wonderful things in the dark, and show us how to find our self worth. It's all here in the show.

Raccoons teach us how to adapt to scary and uncertain times. While most of us just think they are cute and wash their food, they can teach us so much more about adapting to new landscapes in our lives.

Head to the website to add your thoughts to the "Nature Insights" session here: https://LaurieKehler.com/raccoon. Learn from others how to see God in nature more!
