Dogs, Dogs, and More Dogs

I watched the Westminster Kennel Club Show again last night. I wanted the Giant Schnauzer or the Rottweiler to win the working dog best of group category, the Giant Schnauzer won. I wanted the Yorkie or the Brussels Griffon to win the toy best of group category, the Brussels griffon won. The Yorkie did not even place, I was so shocked, the Yorkie really strutted his or her stuff. Texas was well represented in the show, one dog is from Richmond, he lost too, though he did win best of breed. The Best in Show is Stump from Houston. (I didn't root for him to win, but I have to love the fact a Houstonian won...)

Sometimes we feel like losers when life doesn't seem to be going well. Remember in Christ Jesus we are not losers, He loves us and we are always winners to Him. If we are not treated fairly, He notices.

The Bible tells us:

Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep.
O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.

I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation. I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.

Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD; may your love and your truth always protect me.

But you, O Sovereign LORD, deal well with me for your name's sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.

He is always faithful, His love is unending. Rejoice in His love today.

See, I loved Stump from the beginning...I was rooting for him to win the sporting dog and then the whole shebang and he did! I love his face! What a story too that he overcame near death and to win at the age of ten. Thanks again for alerting me to this event I watched both nights and LOVED every minute!

Ever since Best of Show (the movie) came out, I have a hard time appreciating the Westminster show. I did, however, appreciate that an English Springer won last year, I think--that is what my dog is, and they do have presence. I can't imagine judging between breeds, as they all are so different. Losers and winners, saints, and sinners, one day will see His face . ." there's a song in there for you! Wished you could have come last evening. We felt like we got a great big Jesus hug. I thought about you several times, wishing you were there to feel how much He loves us. Love you, Annette

I am so thankful His love reaches to the heavens and his faithfulness to the skies. Where would we be without Him?!

Joel Rosenberg & Ezekiel 38-39

I wanted to share a little info compiled by author Joel Rosenberg concerning a few chapters from the book of Ezekiel. This has caused me to wonder since Iraq is in such a mess; if that's why it is not listed as a country which attacks Israel. Revelation 18 goes on to say: 2With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit,a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." If Iraq becomes a land of such rich excesses, could it be 1 of the only major oil producers left? (This is food for thought on my part.) In a moment, I will walk you through the prophecies step-by-step. But first, let me note that the predictions found in Ezekiel chapters 36 & 37 have already come true. These are the famous ...
