Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

What I Learned From My Dog
By Smokey the Dog


One day I was watching my dog playing in the yard. And suddenly the Lord revealed something to me. I can teach my dog to sit, to lie down, and even do belly up, but can I teach him to come when I call? No way! He doesn't come when I call. He only comes when he thinks coming is more exciting than what he's doing now, otherwise he won't come. I have to get the squeaky toy, or blow the whistle, or knock or do something special to get him to come. Sometimes I don't have time for that and I just go out and pick him and carry him inside.

Isn't that the same way with us and God? Maybe we have learned a few "Spiritual Tricks", like going to church, praying, or maybe even tithing. But do we come when God calls? Are we more interested in what's in the "backyard" than listening to God's voice? Does God have to get out the spiritual squeaky toy before we pay attention, or worse yet, does He have to come out and get us, and carry us bodily into His house? Hopefully my dog will someday learn to come when called.

I hope we will all soon learn to come to God's call too.
