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

What I'm Learning With My Dog
by smokey the dog 03/31/07

We have a routine around the house that whenever we let Smokey out he always gets a treat when he comes back inside. Sometimes I just give it to him, but often I make him do a trick for it. This morning I let him in and had him sit. I wanted to have him lay down next, but when I said "down" he lay down and immediately rolled over and did a belly up. I told him no, and had him sit again, and had him shake hands instead. While he ran off to gulp down his treat I said to him, "Smokey, you have to learn to do what I want you to do, not what you want to do!"
Insert big pause here...

I realized that the same thing is true with our relationship with God. We go out in the world and come in to His house and expect a "treat". We go through our routine and expect to be blessed, but are we doing what God wants us to do?

Hsa 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

Mic 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

You have more dog toys in your bed than people.
