99 Days of Summer: Well, we have certainly entered "the dog days of
summer." This would be a great time to visit your local dog shelter.
Drop off a bag of food or treats, volunteer for a couple of hours,
decide if a new pet is appropriate for your home. Remember to take
extra care of the pets you have. The sidewalk can burn their paws if
going for a walk, they should not be left outside for long periods of
time, make sure they are staying hydrated, NEVER leave them in a
vehicle. Love them, they love you.
Word for Today, Tattoo: There has always been a lot of discussion
within the church about whether tattoos are wrong. I believe it is a
personal choice, just like getting your ears pierced. I have seen some
beautiful tattoos and am not offended by having someone in a place of
business wait on me unless the tattoo is offensive. But I wouldn't want
someone waiting on me wearing a shirt with something
offensive written on it. Some tattoos are deeply personal. Many
parents have the names of their children or a tribute to a loved one.
One of my favorite images in the Bible is that God has "inscribed me in
the palm of His hand" and I am told to "set Him as a seal upon my
heart." What could be more personal than that? So, if anyone asks
about tattoos, I guess my answer is, I have one on my heart.
