Go With God

    but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

2 John 1:9 English Standard Version (ESV)

There's a little dog in our house who's waiting patiently and faithfully by the front door for his master to enter.  I wish I could explain to him that it will happen when the university breaks for holidays, but maybe it's better that he clings to his certain hope of the master's return and continues to camp by the door.  I could learn something from this dog.  When Jesus returns, may He find me faithful.
