Study and learn. Be changed. Ephesians 2 Made Alive in Christ 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not

There are many out there fighting to destroy the pit bull breed. They say that the random stories about pitbulls attacking means we must destroy them all. I guarantee there are more Chihuahuas that bite people than pitbulls. ...and yes, I have owned both.
Of the people that want to destroy them...I wonder how many have spent any time with an actual pitbull. I have... From the age of 5-16. or so..... we had a sweet, smart, and yes...gentle... full-blooded pitbull named Eagle. He was a beautiful red, brindle. He was a great pet and never attacked, or bit a person...
Evil dogs? I don't think so...
Oh, perhaps you think the breed has changed in the last 20 or 30 years...
Let's see. Five years ago... days before Christmas... we were traveling in middle Georgia..when ....I see a cardboard box moving off the side of a dirt road... Out of the box comes the most emaciated dog... My first thought is how can it be moving..living... It was sooooooo skinny.... it just broke my heart. The dog was only a mile from my parents house..so I tell them and we go back to take it food. My mom starts HAND FEEDING IT... It scared me to death..because ANY dog would bite..to eat. as it was.. starving.. This dog??? It did NOT.. IT didn't even growl. What does she do? She gently takes the food from my 60 ish year old mom... and my mom can then see the dog is a pitbull... the 6 month old pitbull puppy is missing toes.. has.scars on her face... she has puss in various areas of her body due to infection... How? There is no other explanation other than she had to be a "pit bull" training puppy. What is that? It is where evil men starve pit bulls and throw in a live pit bull puppy ...so the grown pitbull kills the puppy in order to earn food or to eat the live puppy for food... So who is evil? MAN!!! Not the dog.. So what happened to this starving puppy by the side of the road? For the last 5 years, she as lives with my parents...and the ONLY problem she ever has is that she wants to be a lap dog. She wants to curl up and sit in your lap. Her name? Baby.... because she is a big, big baby... Get to know a pitbull... don't go on the stories you hear... If it was reported every time a chihuahua or poodle attacked... we would hear about them....way, way more than pitbulls..and yes... I have owned both chihuhuas..and poodles...
Can pitbulls be dangerous? Yes... as can ANY dog that is taught to kill...hurt.. The only thing that needs to be illegal is abuse of these animals and any animal...and the penatly needs to be enormous as to stop this evil from MAN!
Before you jump to the conclusion that I am saying Christian are "brainless" sheep, read this post completely. If you still aren't sure, read this post: Are Christians brainless? Why does He call us SHEEP? ( The Bible makes reference to sheep no less than 220 times). A few of the more notable passages that come to mind are the 23 rd Psalm, Isa. 53:6 and John 10. There are many references to His People being sheep. So why not something more powerful, like a ram or horse? Why not something more graceful and valued, like a prized bird? Well, God chose to use the word sheep to identify His followers, as we are "His sheep." Our shepherd, Jesus, is leading the way, so let's look at the facts about sheep-the nature of sheep. Let's look at the facts about sheep- *Sheep aren’t intelligent . Sheep are not known to be smart or cunning animals when it comes to safety; rather, they are susceptible and tend to wander away from the prote
I hit a milestone. I turned 50 years old. I am thankful that I don't feel 50. I am thankful for things God has taught me throughout those 50 years. . I have learned that God loves mercy and when I feel a sense that justice needs to happen over mercy, all I need to do is remember that I am thankful for when God gives me mercy instead of a just punishment. (Micah 6:8 8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.) ( Luke 6: 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. ) I have learned that hurt people end up hurting people. When I am able to see that I didn't hurt them but I am bearing the results of that persons hurt inflicted by other people, it helps me forgive whatever hurt they pushed onto me and move on. (Romans 12 : 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. ) I have learned that anyone who thinks they have God
At a certain age... I suppose 18 or so... half-birthdays are no longer as important to you as when you are young. Right now, the kids love having their 1/2 birthdays celebrated. We don't do much. We tell them "Happy half-birthday!"... and they are allowed to choose what we have for dinner (within reason... no super expensive choices .. like crab legs or sushi). And, they do get to have a cake. John-Michael is 8 1/2 today. I haven't had any of my children ask for a character-cake in quite some time...until last night. We were out very late watching the laser light show at Stone Mountain Park. A few hours before... John-Michael springs on me that he wants a Rayman Rabbids cake for his half-birthday. Now, I have church in the morning and knew I wouldn't get home before midnight last night... not much time to figure our how to make that kind of cake. So, like most things...I just went for it. I bought Twinkies ...pretty sure the first Twinkies ,,,. th
