So much for being a good Christian. This is just one more reason I'm not part of an organized church.
I thought it was about telling the truth. . . guess I was wrong.

JUST A DOG OR ??? 1 OF 4
I don't know if this story is true or not but it's such a heartwarming story I had to publish it here. Be sure you have a box of tissues handy. . . I'm serious this story really touched me.
The Dog
Watch out! You nearly broad sided that car!" My father yelled at me. "Can't you do anything right?" Those words hurt worse than blows. I turned my head toward the elderly man in the seat beside me, daring me to challenge him. A lump rose in my throat as I averted my eyes. I wasn't prepared for another battle. "I saw the car, Dad. Please don't yell at me when I'm driving." My voice was measured and steady, sounding far calmer than I really felt. Dad glared at me, then turned away and settled back. At home I left Dad in front of the television and went outside to collect my thoughts. Dark, heavy clouds hung in the air with a promise of rain. The rumble of distant thunder seemed to echo my inner turmoil. What could I do about him? Dad had been a lumberjack in Washington and Oregon. He had enjoyed being outdoors and had reveled in pitting his strength against the forces of nature. He had entered grueling lumberjack competitions, and had placed often. The shelves in his house were filled with trophies that attested to his prowess. The years marched on relentlessly. The first time he couldn't lift a heavy log, he joked about it; but later that same day I saw him outside alone, straining to lift it. He became irritable whenever anyone teased him about his advancing age, or when he couldn't do something he had done as a younger man. Four days after his sixty-seventh birthday, he had a heart attack. An ambulance sped him to the hospital while a paramedic administered CPR to keep blood and oxygen flowing. At the hospital, Dad was rushed into an operating room. He was lucky; he survived. But something inside Dad died. His zest for life was gone. He obstinately refused to follow doctor's orders. Suggestions and offers of help were turned aside with sarcasm and insults. The number of visitors thinned, then finally stopped altogether. Dad was left alone.DOGS RULE - YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer' s Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

My God I love dogs.
BTW, what good is a picnic table if you can't lay on it?
