Dog & Cat Diaries  

Posted by Michael

I read this on a blog I follow and laughed out loud. If you have had any experience with dogs and cats, you can probably appreciate this.

The Cat's Diary
Day 983 of My Captivity

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now

O Glorious Day!  

Posted by Michael

It is 7:21a and both of our boys are still asleep!

A little history:
For the past 4 months Jude(4mo) would wake up at least 2 times a night, most of the time inconsolable. Our other son, Evan(2.5), has had this incredible internal clock that would wake him up at 6:30a on the dot. (It would have been much more impressive each morning if I hadn't been exhausted!)

So back to my excitement: Did you know that flowers are blooming outside? That the grass is turning green? My coffee tastes better and I had a skip in my step as I walked into the kitchen humming "O glorious day". I actually saw my wife smile this morning!!

Jesus' return will be so glorious and so amazing, but this morning may be a close second.
