We have a fenced-in back yard, but on a recent evening, Don and I were spending some time in the front yard with our little furbabies, Hemi and Rusty.

Rusty (on left - mini-poodle) scampered across the street to do some investigating.  Moments later, a car turned on our street.  Rusty started…

Here's a note from a friend who's cat recently went missing:

Our beloved cat, Scalley (short for Scalleywag) has been missing since Sunday, Sept. 25th.  He is very friendly to everyone and loves to be petted.  He doesn't wear a collar, but has had all of his shots recently.  We're thinking that someone may have picked him up in Bishop Park on Sunday…

Micky Cohen, a noted gangster of a past generation, said that after he embraced Christianity, he felt betrayed. No one had explained that God would require a change in his behavior. "There are Christian athletes and Christian businessmen. Why not Christian gangsters?" he reasoned. But when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, we are no longer free to…

LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE ..An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger." ... The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?" ... " Oh, I don't know," said the atheist.

In Morocco, the native Tamri goats are so enticed by the berries of Argan trees that they have become adept at climbing the branches to reach their food. Even stranger still, the goats' droppings contain seed kernels which local farmers then grind into an oil that is used in cooking and…

     In last year’s NCAA Basketball tournament ESPN basketball announcer Jay Bilas just kept drinking the Blue Kool Aid.  North Carolina Blue was the first beat down he had to swallow.
