Carmen's Inspiration - "The Creature Preacher" is a modern whimsical fictional short romance story. It is nod to the song, "All Creatures of our God and King" written in 1225, although the English version didn't appear until 1919. The original author of the song was Francis of Assisi. After war, Francis of Assisi began traveling and preaching the gospel. He lived simply. He loved nature, and many stories (difficult to separate truth from fiction) spotlights his interaction with animals.
