The Flying Pug

Walnut trees from last fall.

The Flying Pug

By Katherine E. Gray

There was a pug,

who climbed up a walnut tree

And wanted down because she was hungry.

But she had random wings

And could amazingly fly.

So she flew on down

And next she was on the search for food. 

Note: I get hungry after I work out, so the pug got hungry after climbing a tree. 

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weakness in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Holding Poe after a hard day of flying. Picture: Me, Nancy, and Poe.

The Curious Case of the Frog Blog

 Unfortunately I have a tradition with an unnamed family member to exchange frog gifts. My sister and father occasionally encourage this tradition by partaking in the gag gifts. The frogs bring sunshine to my life with their big giant weird eyes. They kind of remind me of my dog Poe and myself.

Jumping Frog
By Katherine E. Gray

Ok, so I am like a frog
Jumping down the road
Then suddenly there was a hole.
I fell in.
And it is taking a while
To get back out.

Perseverance and Patience

I want my trial to be over sooner rather than later so that I can finally find my real Mr. Darcy (I hope he has a mustache).

 

"...glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulations produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.'' (Hope that's a mustache Mr. Darcy).

Romans 5:3-4



Salt of the Earth

 

 

 

You are the salt of the Earth;

But if the salt loses it's flavor, how shall it be seasoned?

It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

Matthew 5:13

 

My goal when I go to therapy is to season and salt the therapist and everyone else who works there. How I do this is by smiling, saying hi, having a joyful attitude, caring about other people's day, and grasping every opportunity to encourage people. If the opportunity rises, sharing our love of Christ. 

 

What is very important to my mom and I is that we remember that this is our missionary field. We always say a little prayer before we go in that we be a light and the salt for Christ, seasoning the rehab with His blessings.
