Caleb enjoyed playing with Pistol who is a 6 month old Vizsla puppy. Pistol wanted to kiss his face whenever possible and she loved stealing his bibs and hiding them. she is so adorable and tons of energy.

I hope the baby wasn't attached to the bibs when they were hid? :-O

Nothing like vizsla kisses to make you giggle.

 I read through this short article written by the president of Asbury Seminary. He did a great job explaining some of the differences between Creation Care and secular Environmentalism. There is plenty more to be said, but this was good. Take a read for yourself: https://asburyseminary.edu/elink/dr-timothy-tennent-environmentalism-vs-creation-care/ Below is a photo of a very mature cashew fruit tree I came across during a trip to the state of Piauí in northeastern Brazil last month.
