And I am lucky to have her.
She is on arthritis medication now, and she is dancing around like a puppy!

Our 14.3 year old is having some problems but she is still alert and smiling. We’re so happy that she’s with us.

If your vet decides to give her “rimadyl” make sure they check her liver and kidney function first, then monitor carefully for any digestive issues.
So far Lynn-Dah is doing great, but if there are any side effects, I will stop the medication.

Keeping Faith
July 30, 2016
Without faith it is impossible to please God.
Hebrews 11:6
Its tempting to think of faith as a kind of magic formula. If you muster up enough of it, youll get rich, stay healthy, and live a contented life with automatic answers to all your prayers. But life does not work according to such neat formulas. As proof, the author of Hebrews presents a stirring reminder of what constitutes true faith by reviewing the lives of some Old Testament giants of faith (Heb. 11).
Without faith, the author says bluntly, it is impossible to please God (11:6). In describing faith he uses the word persevered (v. 27). As a result of their faith, some heroes triumphed: They routed armies, escaped the sword, survived lions. But others met less happy ends: They were flogged, stoned, sawed in two. The chapter concludes, These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised (v. 39).
The picture of faith that emerges does not fit into an easy formula. Sometimes it leads to victory and triumph. Sometimes it requires a gritty determination to hang on at any cost. Of such people, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them (v. 16).
What our faith rests on is the belief that God is in ultimate control and will indeed keep His promiseswhether that happens in this life or the next.
Give me a faith that trusts You wholeheartedly, Lord.
Our greatest comfort in sorrow is to know that God is in control.
Hebrews 11 has been called the Hall of Faith. In it we read of diverse people who faced trials and tribulations far beyond what most of us face. Yet all persevered by trusting the Lord. By the grace of God, we can do the same.

Hi Meg! That is one happy kitten! I saw 3 happy barn cats napping in the sunshine today, when I visited my friend and we went to see her horse at the stable. I was also greeted by the huge german shepherd that lives at the stable farm. He’s really a sweetie.
Cheers!

The Price of Admission
July 31, 2016
All are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Romans 3:24
Every year some two million people from all over the world visit St. Pauls Cathedral in London. It is well worth the admission fee to experience the magnificent structure designed and built by Sir Christopher Wren during the late 17th century. But tourism is secondary at this place of Christian worship. A primary mission of the cathedral is to enable people in all their diversity to encounter the transforming presence of God in Jesus Christ. If you want to tour the building and admire the architecture, you must pay an admission fee. But there is no charge to enter and attend any of the daily worship services at St. Pauls.
How much does it cost to enter the kingdom of God? Entry is free because Jesus Christ paid the price for us by His death. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus (Rom. 3:2324). When we acknowledge our spiritual need and accept by faith Gods forgiveness for our sins, we have a new and everlasting life in Him.
You can enter a new life today because, by His death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead, Jesus has paid the price of admission!
You can invite Jesus into your life by praying something like this: Dear Jesus, I believe that You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I want to accept You as my Savior and follow You. Please forgive my sins and help me, from this moment on, to live a life that is pleasing to You.
Jesus paid the price so we can enter Gods kingdom.
What does it mean to fall short of the glory of God? (Rom. 3:23). The glory of God is the outward manifestation of Gods character, which, at the center, is holiness and love. In Gods plan of redemption, human beings are to share in this glory. Those who respond to Christs offer of salvation begin a process of reflecting Gods character (2 Cor. 3:18). In heaven multitudes will ascribe glory to God for His work of salvation (Rev. 19:1). In contrast, those who have rebelled against God have chosen a path that does not seek or reflect Gods holy love.
