Truths . . .continued

power to get the Truth to those who do not have the freedom we enjoy.

I wanted to be involved in a Christian ministry, and praying with my friends, was led to start the first Christian Women’s Club in our hometown of Lexington. This was a wonderful outreach with more than 200 women attending monthly meeting, connecting with other women that were Christians. Being the first President humbled me and made me see how God can use us if we really ask Him. Amazing!

I had found my freedom to be who God wanted me to be. What to do with this new found freedom? It comes with responsibility.

Christianity is not for sissies. It takes work, study, prayer and dedication to learning more about the One that you want to pattern your life after.

Go for it!

He will never disappoint you and will give you the Freedom to live a new life in a now world. sm

If Dogs Ruled

me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
 
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.  The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion.

We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why." Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.

He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The six-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. sm
