Today was day one of the Allelon Summer Institute hosted by Jacob’s Well Church in KC. I’ll try to post bits here and there as I have time. For today, here’s a framework from John Franke: Four basic ideas in response to the question, “Who is God?” 1. God is Triune 2. God is

“The Spirit of God, which is the Spirit of Jesus, leads the people of God’s reign and their leadership into a eschatological future that is present among them now, even if only imperfectly.” -Alan Roxburgh, from The Missional Church (ed. Darrell Guder)

  We rescued a dog about six weeks ago, the fourth girl in our house, making the ratio 4:1, not good odds for this guy.  She is an American Pit Bull Terrier…..wait for it, “You adopted a pit bull?”, “Are you crazy?”…..we’ve heard it all in the last few weeks.  Ask yourself, how much do you know

Another pic of the new addition.  Along with a link that will break your heart.  The following link was sent to us by Donna, the rescuer who SAVED Trinity.  An amazing story of someone dedicated to her calling of saving Pit Bulls.  More on her at another time.  She runs Hearts of Gold Pit Rescue,

As you can see, Trinity is starved for some love in her new house.  This is a Sunday morning on the kitchen floor. And here is our girl hard at work, spring cleaning in the yard.

I want to take a picture with Trinity…. No, I want to take a picture with Trinity.

Here is Trinity walking with her new backpack, with Sophie leading the way.  She has gotten very good at walking on her leash, especially with the backpack on.  Inside the backpack?  Four bottles of water.  She takes great pride in carrying those around!

  I’m pretty sure she is saying….”Go away, can’t you see the sun is finally out!”  Finally, this New England weather is starting to turn around.

Trinity made a trip to PA for the first time over Easter weekend.  Following a long walk on the nearby golf course, most of it taking in the sites off leash, the 4-year old walked her the rest of the way home.  Looks like a good pack leader to me!

Trinity spent her first weekend (she’s been with us for almost 2 months now) without the ladies in the house, as they visited Camp Nana in RI….she definitely missed them.  Wouldn’t you?
