I often smile to myself when I think of two pets in particular that once graced our acreage north of Wagner. We acquired Brown, a female Chesapeake Retriever pup, back in December 1977. At this same time our kids befriended a tomcat they named Morris. For reasons unknown to me, Morris decided to “mother” Brown. They were inseparable as they slept side by side. There was no need for us to do the hot water bottle thing with our new pup. As Brown grew, Morris slept on top of Brown.

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He saith unto the Ruler of the Synagogue, be not afraid, only believe. And he suffered (allowed ) no man to follow him, save (except) Peter and James and John the brother of James. And he cometh to the house of the Ruler of the Synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and they that wept and wailed greatly. And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep?

And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her Tal'i-tha cu'-ali which is interpreted Damsel I say unto thee, arise.
