"I just had a pleasant visit with my cousin Kentrosaurus, who, as Nigersaurus had told me in July, came to visit me in Colorado in the last week of August through the Labor Day holiday," said Stegosaurus.

"How nice of you to stomp by, cousin Kentrosaurus! Your claws must be weary; rest and visit for a while!"


"Greetings, cousin Stegosaurus! May the Lord be with you! It is so nice to visit you and America again," said Kentrosaurus. "The Lord Jesus blessed me with a long, but uneventful journey. I am glad to be here."

"What brings you to visit?" asked Stegosaurus.


"Well, I just felt like stomping by to visit you and America," said Kentrosaurus. "I also wanted to relate to you in person the event of an epiphany that I experienced in June."

"What is this ? Have you been stomping down the road to Damsascus?" asked Stegosaurus.

"Sister Quagga asked of me the same question, but no!" said Kentrosaurus. "By virtue of my work planting a forest for Widow Ground Sloth and her son, I have realized that good works as these more properly display the intent and Spirit of the Lord God than all the speaking of words and dogma ever will. I still do find inspiration in the Word, but find that the DEED most closely approximates the Lord God on Earth when we do good to our fellow creatures, be they dinosaur, mammal, or even those annoying new inventions of modern technology, INSECTS."

"When you can express love to insects, you have achieved something," observed Stegosaurus.

"I will tell you something else.... I realized that I most likely exist, as in part of this epiphany, so on June 18th I cut ties with the group Christians Against Dinosaurs as their official spokesdinosaur. Another reason for this split was the fact that they put up a new logo on their website that involved a picture of a Stegosaurus with a red strike through it. I took this change to mean that they didn't really want me around, and so I left. There was really no protest from the group when I did go. I just stomped away and that was that."

"I guess it should seem pretty obvious given the name of the group and their stated mission," said Stegosaurus. "If I may be frank, I am glad that you have reached this point in your intellectual development ..... every dinosaur within a stomp of an entire league as well as Woolly Mammoth were perpetually perplexed by your involvement with this strange group of delusional mammals."

"Mammals are strange," observed Kentrosaurus. "So, since I decided I exist, I felt compelled to build an ark in the event of a second Great Deluge as revealed in the Good Book. I am determined that I will not become extinct as before!"

"Nigersaurus told me you had been inspecting your ark's seaworthiness," said Stegosaurus. "What shall you do with it, til the Great day of rain comes?"

"One thing I have learned from the experience of the Creationist Museum is that an ark may be very seaworthy, but it is not very lucrative so I will not be making money with it."

"Learn from the mistakes of mammals," said Stegosaurus.


"Yes, I intend to," said Kentrosaurus. "I am not sure what to do with it just yet. I shall have to pray and ask the Lord Jesus."

"Kentrosaurus and I enjoyed the rest of our visit without discussing theology, which I found remarkable. We enjoyed trimming the nearby hills of my native State. I we enjoyed a nice meal of Pinus nigra of the Pinaceae family, and he learned a little about economics accordingly. It was a delightful visit; I enjoy my family."
