What I Believe
QUOTE OF THE WEEK

[t]he Spirit of God shows to us hidden things, the knowledge of which cannot reach our senses: Promised to us is eternal life, but it is promised to the dead; we are assured of a happy resurrection, but we are as yet involved in corruption; we are pronounced just, as yet sin dwells in us; we hear that we are happy, but we are as yet in the midst of many miseries; an abundance of all good things is promised to us, but still we often hunger and thirst; God proclaims that he will come quickly, but he seems deaf when we cry to him. What would become of us were we not supported by hope, and did not our minds emerge out of the midst of darkness above the world through the light of God’s word and of his Spirit? Faith, then, is rightly said to be the subsistence or substance of things which are as yet the objects of hope and the evidence of things not seen.John Calvin, Calvin's Commentaries, Hebrews 11

The Old Gray Girl

She ain't what she used to be.  She's sleepy and slow moving and her happy-happy dinner dance isn't as 'jumpified' as it used to be.  But she's as sweet and loving as the day is long and I love her so much.

Guest Dog Blogger: Dorothy

 Today we have a very special guest blogger, my bff Dorothy.  Dorothy doesn't have a blog (yet!--I'm working on her. . .) but she does have a dog, Charlie. 

I love Charlie.  He is the sweetest little guy in the world.  I invited Dorothy to contribute some Charlie stories for Rebecca's February Dog theme.  Here is the first installment:

I didn't regularly read Rebecca Writes in January of 2007 (sorry, Rebecca) so I didn't discover until January of 2008 when she reviewed her past year that I could have contributed a coyote (ky-oat-tee) story and I was heartily disappointed.  Well, here is my chance because my coyote story is also a dog story!  

We moved into our present home in the spring three years ago and I took our dog, Charlie, out one evening right about dusk.  Imagine my surprise as we walked around the house to discover a coyote slinking around the other way right next to the screen porch!  I had never seen one so close before and I know Charlie hadn't either.  I was hoping he wouldn't see this one as I scooped him up and covered his eyes and walked across the street and down a few houses.  Charlie is a Maltese on the outside but inside he believes he is a Doberman. I know the truth.  

Back to the coyote.  Now  he was between us and the house and I was hoping he wasn't waiting for us in the backyard at the only unlocked door.  I put Charlie down and we casually strolled back and into the house as I prayed a desperate prayer.  That was the last time I took Charlie out in anything other than broad daylight without my trusty Mag-Lite flashlight of the twelve inch heavy duty variety!
