A Special Breed

There is a special kind of breed,
Not found just anywhere,
For sure not in a pet store,
Nor a puppy mill's dark lair.

At shows, this breed is legion.
Its gait is quite a strut.
Its locks are full of chalk and spray,
Great withers, flanks and butt

For one exception, it would
Always win the class,
Its confirmation has a flaw,
A heart too big, yet as

The competitions finish,
It's left standing at the end.
This breed's the Lord's protector
of His creation, man's best friend.

The Dog-Walkers

Healthy, adorable
mature and kind
give country walks
in rain and shine.

Insured and jabbed
we are risk free;
our shiny coats
without a flea.

Man's best friend
shall not be bored
with our range
of squeaky toys,

And biscuit treats
to wag a tail,
just bring a lead
we're Ready Now!

How Long?

Read: Luke 19:41-44

As [Jesus] drew near, He saw the city and wept over it. —Luke 19:41

Bible In One Year: Judges 11-12; Luke 6:1-26

---

It took years before she finally said yes. A Welshman had fallen in love with one of his neighbors and wanted to marry her. But they had quarreled, and she refused to forgive. Shy and reluctant to face the offended woman, the persistent suitor slipped a love letter under her door every week.

At last, after 42 years, he summoned up courage, knocked on her door, and asked her to become his wife. To his delight, she consented. So they were married at the age of 74!

God is also a persistent lover. Century after century He sent prophets, seeking the stubborn people of Israel. Then God sent His Son. In Luke 19, we read that Jesus looked out over the city of Jerusalem and wept because of their hardness of heart (vv.41-44).

Yet Jesus persisted in His loving pursuit. He opened the way for reconciliation by His redeeming sacrifice at Calvary. Today He is still asking sinners to come to Him, personally accept Him as Savior, and enjoy close fellowship with Him (Matthew 11:28).

If you have come to Him, rejoice that you are His. If you have not, however, you must realize that time may run out. Don't remain forever alienated from the Lover of your soul. Trust Him today. —Vernon Grounds

Why trade the hope of heaven's light
For things that please the prince of night?
Eternal glories wait for all
Who turn and trust God's loving call. —Branon

God always knocks loud enough for the seeking soul to hear.

I went to Internet Options in the Control Panel. I just looked at the settings.
Is this where you make the change? On Windows XP, do you just change the level of privacy that you want?

Have you considered moving back to Arizona? There are lots of pretty places there. We liked the Prescott area. I don't think there are many employment opportunities there; mostly a nice place for retirement.

I wanted to answer your questions.
I still have windows 98 but that is where you need to be.

Moving back to Arizona ? No, I loved it there and do miss it but the jobs in construction are taken up by wet backs.

Illegals have taken over the industry, low pay.. High enough for them but, I couldn't survive then, so I know I couldn't now.
Prescott area is beautiful and a great retirement area....
