Problems I make for myself

If it’s not bad enough to confront ordinary problems, one is confounded by problems we beget of our own making.  Such is it with these three fellows.

catproblem2A stray cat showed up, staying under our back porch.  She went away, or so we thought, until one day we were ambushed by a snarling cat, protecting a litter of kittens.  We trapped the mother and took her to animal control, because she was aggressive, but the kittens were too light to set the trap, and too fast to catch them all.

I had never seen kittens grow up, and grew rather fond over the circus act they put on every day.  Time has gone by, and now they are almost cats.  What should I do?

A Proven Fact

‘Blogs are a wonderful thing, because you can look back and see changes in yourself, that aren’t apparent as you live life.

I’m sitting on the back porch on Thanksgiving morning, thinking back over the past year.  It was a test of my faith and the result was amazing.

It all started with this sermon  [audio:http://michaeljpierce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/TheShepherdandHisSheep.mp3]

The main message is that you are not alone and God will take care of you.  This last year has proven to me that this is true.

So this morning I give my gratitude to my Shepherd and rejoice in being his sheep.
