The Joy of Puppy Love

For my youngest son’s recent 9th birthday, we finally gave in and got a puppy.  Mom and Dad know how much work a puppy is, but the heart cry of a little boy found us “puppy shopping”.  
Here is Tex’s first arrival at our home:
puppy 002
He is adjusting very well and although he takes a lot of training, he has found his way into our hearts:
ebay puppy 022 ebay puppy 024 ebay puppy 026 ebay puppy 028 ebay puppy 037 ebay puppy 041
I love how a little puppy brings out the little boy in all of my guys!  I think he is a keeper and will bring much joy to our home!


Good, True & Beautiful

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals.

No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
