"I walk through this sinful world as a 

pilgrim in a foreign country" - CH Spurgeon

Several years ago my wife saw a posting on the internet where the Retriever Rescue Of Colorado had a pair of chocolate labs that desperately needed a foster home. As the pair had been raised together so they had to be placed together, and being older dogs (10 and 12 years) it was hard to find a home or foster home. If the RROC couldn't find them a home they were going to have to put down Molly and Kira. So we volunteered to foster them.

We were a foster failure, because they ended up spending the rest of their lives with us. For the next 4 years they entertained us with their cute quirks. Kira was the worst retriever in the world, if you threw a ball she adopted a "You threw it, you go get it" attitude. Molly was slightly better, but she had an "eat what you catch" attitude which included sticks, balls, frisbees, stuffed animals, and squirrels (which she never did actually catch). Sadly they left us this year. Molly succumbed to kidney failure on January 2, and Kira's strength finally gave out last night.

Father in Heaven:
Thank you so much for the years you blessed us with Molly and Kira. The joy we felt with them enriched our lives, and the pain of their loss reminds us of the pain You feel when we rebel. But mostly thank you for their joyful, unconditional love they had for us. Their love set an example of the love we should feel for You. I pray that we all can show the tail wagging, barking in joy love they taught us when You call us home. In Jesus name we beg you take away the sorrow and replace it with even more gratitude for Your blessing of these sweet dogs

Do you hear a whirring noise coming from the east, possibly Germany? That's Martin Luther spinning in the grave. I warned you all that Azusa Now was nothing but an ecumenical con-job designed to fill the coffers of Rome. If you think that sounds harsh, what do you think of NAR false prophet Lou Engle kissing the feet of a Roman papist in reconciliation. Reconciliation for what, pointing out Roman heresy? Dulling their swords with out necks?

But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. (1 Timothy 2:12) Here's why.
