Dominant What?
What a Learning Curve I knew God was going to teach me stuff through training our new puppy, Zoe. He is interested in everything about us. One day just out of the blue He spoke. "Dogs teach people unconditional love." I wasn't thinking about dogs at that moment, nor...
That’s Why They Call It A Training Cage
Gentle Corrections from a Very Good God Well, I finally did it. I got another Siberian Husky but this one is classified as "miniature" since the breeder uses smaller dogs in the process. The vet and I agree that she is just perfect and her name is Zoe. It's been over...
Listen, God is Speaking
A Man in a Turban Kelsi is dancing more these days. She usually has music going on her laptop and listens to many different artists. There is always another song she wants me to hear. "Come on and dance with me, Mom," was her latest invitation. We danced to some...
Decide To Think Well Of Yourself

Give Thanks In All Things
Report From The War Zone We all go through hard things, don't we? Last week Kelsi had a meltdown and decided she could not continue to work at her job. This was not our first rodeo, but I was disappointed in the outcome. I wasn't dismayed because I know that evil...
