Hello Jane! Sorry it took so long to reply,,,but I was puppy sitting,,,it never ends.
We have a Doberman puppy. We’ve had Dobermans for about 23 years, and we like to have 2 at a time so they are not lonely when we go somewhere for a few hours. This one is 8 months old, and from a rescue. He is our third rescue dog. This Saturday, we will have had him here for 2 weeks.
Thanks for asking about him!
Cheers

When I was growing up, I was taught that dogs HATE hot weather.
Yet, all the doggies i see in FL lie on the Burning hot pavement in the direct sunlight.
Lynn-Dah especially loves my Western exposure balcony in the late afternoon, when the solar energy heats up that area to nearly 90 degrees.
Go Figure.

Talking About Jesus
May 8, 2014
Read: 2 Corinthians 4:1-6
Former major league baseball player Tony Graffanino tells of an ongoing ministry effort in a European country. Each year his organization holds a week-long baseball camp. During this week they also offer a daily Bible study. In past years, the leader tried to find reasoned ways to convince the campers that God exists so they would place their faith in Him. After about 13 years, they had seen only 3 people decide to follow Jesus.
Then they changed their approach, says Graffanino. Instead of trying to present facts, or winning arguments for a debate, they simply talked about the amazing life and teachings of Jesus. As a result, more campers came to listen, and more chose to follow Him.
The apostle Paul said that when we tell others about the gospel of Jesus Christ, we should set forth the truth plainly. . . . We do not preach ourselves, he said, but Jesus Christ as Lord (2 Cor. 4:2,5 niv). This was Pauls standard for evangelism: I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified (1 Cor. 2:2).
We should be knowledgeable about the Bible and about the reasons for our belief, and sometimes we need to explain those reasons. But the most compelling and effective story we can tell puts Christ in the center.
Father God, please use me in the lives of others.
Remind me to talk about who Jesus is and His life
and teachings. And not to be dragged into debates,
but to share Jesus amazing life.
The risen Christ is the reason for our witness.
Todays reading showcases a remarkable spiritual reality concerning those who are resistant to the gospel. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ . . . should shine on them (vv.3-4). The apostle Paul tells us that Satan, the god of this age, has produced a form of spiritual blindness that hinders ones perception of the reality of Jesus Christ. Spiritual blindness can only be overcome by the light of Christ (v.6).

Graphic by Billie
I talk to him when I'm lonesome like;
And I'm sure he understands.
When he looks at me so attentively,
And gently licks my hands;
Then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,
But I never say naught there at.
For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,
But never a friend like that.
~W. Dayton Wedgefarth
Happy Thankful Thursday.
I'm thankful for our furry friends.
All, Have a Terrific Thankful Thursday.
