He was protecting the family at all costs. <br />One day as I stood with my fists on my hips listening to him tell me how it was going down in the back yard my dog sauntered over to see what I was doing. He listened with me as the man of the house told us off. My dog was a big old German shepherd and paid very little attention to the bird, even when he took dives at him. <br /><br />I guess he got rather fed up with listening to me getting told off in my back yard because he let that bird have it with a rush of barks and jumps. That bird was not a happy guy and decided that living in the bush by the house wasn’t a wise place to be. I missed them when they packed up and left. But the dog felt the need to get my back and protect me.Millyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08676326805474564427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163366153925070830.post-1115519350497654882009-07-16T07:52:35.837-06:002009-07-16T07:52:35.837-06:00Well, this doesn&#39;t have anything to do with the current blog...I could tell you about my woodpecker...and I work nights, so try to sleep with a woodpecker building a nest in the wall of your bedroom all day. So I feel your feathered pain.<br /><br />Anyway, I wanted to coment on your Women and Church posts...but you closed the comments. (and I see why.) But sometimes I get to wondering if Christianity is really for celebate single men...and I wonder what I am supposed to be...in Christ.<br />Thanks for exploring that.<br /><br />Completely off topic. On politics, recesions and America falling away from God...if more people come to God in the bad times...and God wants more people to come to him, doesn&#39;t it make sense things will get worse...as part of the plan. I have always felt that the end days would be to the benifit of God...that the instant when the most possible souls are bound for heaven...that is the end. a minute later and that one would be lost...a minute sooner and that one wouldn&#39;t have made the choice yet...<br /><br />Sorry for all the elipses...that is the way I speak also.Karinoreply@blogger.com
