HEAVEN IN SIGHT. What’s the first question you would ask someone if you knew they were seeing heaven? Photo by Enrique/Pixabay When I hear Johnny Mathis sing “The Twelfth of Never,” I remember asking Linda to marry me. I asked while Johnny sang …
I CRIED EVERY DAY THIS WEEK. Over a dog. I know that’s an odd thing to admit in a blog feature intended for people interested in the Bible. I could have written about what the prophet Amos said to rich people 2,700 years ago. That’s where I am in …
I SAVED A LIFE TODAY. A dog’s life. It was inconvenient. But she’s now our born-again dog. Four-year-old Maisie (MAY-zee) should have died first thing this morning. My wife and I found out about it late last night. Our daughter told us that one …

IT’S A TAD UNSETTLING that no matter what I say in my weekday blog about God or the Bible, when I post the blog link on my Facebook page, it attracts only a pittance of the hits that I’ll get when I post photos of dogs in my family. I’m thinking I …
HOW MUCH MONEY should a human spend on a sick critter? Buddy the Dog, on a scale of 1 to 10, is more than $500 sick at the moment. He has been to the vet 3 times in the last half-week. First it was a double ear infection. Now he has what appears to …
