Stephanie Jeong founded Happy Angels Dog Rescue to rescue small-breed dogs from South Korea.  Some of the dogs are rescued from dog-meat farms where they are raised in deplorable conditions and then killed for their meat.  Others are rescued from puppy mills, high-kill shelters or the streets.  Stephanie finds "foster homes" for these dogs until they can find permanent homes.  Prospective adopters must undergo a thorough application process before they are matched with a dog that best fits their household.  Kimberly Mackie adopted two dogs from Happy Angels Dog Rescue.  One of them is Lucy, a one-eyed Maltese who had been kept in a cage to breed puppies over and over before getting rescued.  Watch this heartwarming episode of "Upper Room."

God has a funny way of letting people know what their calling is, right as they're in the middle of a faith crisis. Gideon is an example of someone who received the call to deliver God's people while he was questioning his faith in God.  In this episode of "The Message," Pastor Brown shares about his own faith crisis during his college years and how he was able to emerge from that with more faith than ever before.

Did you know that the Lord sees clearly what we do and examines every path we take?  It says so in the bible.  So how do we know that we are on the right path?  In this episode of "The Message," Pastor Brown explains why we should consider the path we are on and how to allow God to lead us, in every area of our lives.

Man, Summer flew by and its already Fall!

It feels strange, and awkwardly invigorating. The start of the new school year means, new beginnings, new experiences, and most of all, memories to be cherished by friends, family, and loved ones.  This year is most surprising, at least physically. The whole east coast feeling the aftereffects of an earthquake, going thru rainy season that never really seems to end from hurricanes that come through our way, and tornadoes that form to uproot trees, and cause such a fuss when it rams into a house, or telephone pole, then, out goes our electricity... It has been such austacious sort of season for us easterners lately.  

 More than anything, I am beginning to see my greatest desire unfold with great care. To be in a position to care for my family, and see myself in a new light. Nothing is nothing when it comes to flexing those spiritual muscles, but, it took me all a whole spring, summer, and part of fall to realize, the role that I take on as a mom, wife, teacher, student, friend, sister, daughter...woman, was to make myself see, I am nothing but a spec of dust in the wind in the grand scheme of things, and to the place which the wind carries my small unobtrusive life, is but God to know and for me to find out.... 

 In all things, I urge you to pray, pray over your friends, family, loved ones, but also pray over things that you might not have considered, your elected leaders for church and state. The more I think about it, it just makes more sense that even though we may not fully understand to what breadth their role in life will affect us, they too need prayer.  

 Anyhow. I will update soon with some more ramblings tomorrow. For now, be blessed, fight the good fight, and surge on in the fight against our foe. 

 Peace and love, 

 Me
