Vern looked up from his bed, gazed around the room to see who was present, cushioned his head between the bumps in his blanket, and drifted off to sleep. With a sense of peace, the little puppy drifted into a land of slumber filled with other puppies frolicking around him, making him the king ofContinue reading “Entangled in Our Own Power”

Give us Today
Vern and Bee just returned from their morning walk. Vern rode in a puppy stroller surrounded by blankets and a bone for chewing, while Bee led the way. Once we got home, Vern was placed in the backyard so he could do his business. He was a little subdued given that he slept through mostContinue reading “Give us Today”
New Beginnings
As dark as the world seems right now, the light of Jesus is brighter.
Today’s Decision Become Tomorrow’s Life
Bee has no idea what is getting ready to happen. Life as she knows it, will forever change. She has no way to prepare for the little puppy that will be joining our family unit.

Instantly, she laid her pudgyContinue reading “Contemplating the Benefits of Discomfort”
Hidden Gifts

I believe that God will provide for our furry friend in death as he takes care of us in life.

Carl thought he would take a good bite out of the brown bumpy reptile but was immediately horrified by what he experienced next. Apparently, frogs have aContinue reading “Unpleasant Repercussions”
