Finally Some Good News

The lady who has a dog rescue is moving from her devil landlord and can take all 27 of her rescue dogs! This is great news. It is sad how many simply do not care about these helpless dogs. I know the country is focused on Haiti as it should be, but there is need on our doorsteps as well.

My evaluation of TN thus far, especially in these smaller towns is many people (men in general) see dogs as a possession. This is not far from seeing wives and kids as possessions. The same goes for horses and the like.

Despite a church on every tenth corner, there seems little penetration of the true gospel into the daily culture. Traditions seem to rule over truth. Men who dare to "feel" are seen as weak, so what we really have is adolescent attitudes and a fear of what others think. But it is even deeper than that, it is an individual fear of being vulnerable.

To those who have been shown mercy, mercy is asked. Blessed are the meek--power under control.
