Yes Mark. Absolutely. Inconsiderate on my part to not include them as well. I stand corrected.

I saw the movie Call Of The Wild this weekend and was reminded that dogs are special creations. They have an ability to bond with humans in a way that no other kindred spirit can. You can forget all of that stuff about apes and how closely we are related.. A dog can actually be a real friend, know your thoughts, and ease your discomfort when the going is hard. I hope we see our furry friends again on the other side. Let us all work to eliminate cruelty towards animals so long as the Lord gives us breath.

Instead of leaving Max's body with the veterinarian to be disposed of, my friend and his wife of 28 years culminated their loving commitment to Max by electing to lovingly bury Max in their yard at home, and I helped with the burial, along with three other folks, who also call this man and his wife their best friends.

This man and his wife are also our Pastors, both of whom deeply care about us, their flock, and both of whom are constantly serving us and shepherding us, their flock, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.

It comes as no surprise then, that when Max passed, we all stood with our Pastors as we shared a momentary burden of grief.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is peace, and although we for a moment shed tears, we stand comforted by the knowledge that we will meet Max again in Heaven.

In the meantime, here on Earth, we serve and support each other, members of the Body of Christ, in agape love as taught to us and commanded us by Jesus Christ.

R.I.P. Max, and God bless our Pastors..!
