Backyard Beauty

Sometimes God meets us in our own backyard. One morning last week I was up earlier than usual and enjoyed His fellowship with a cup of coffee, my pets, and my camera. His beauty is all around us if we just stop and look.

These are pictures of the best dog in the whole wide world. His name is Tuffy. I thought he was quite cooperative as a camera subject as he showed me his solemn side and his more normal happy face.



And whether you're a cat person or not, you have to admit this is a beautiful cat. His name is James Lil' Poke Madison. Yes, there's a story there but I won't go into it here. Join me for a cup of coffee on my back porch some morning and I'll tell you how he got his name.



"The Lord is righteous in all His ways and loving toward all He has made. The Lord is near to all who call on Him." (Psalm 145:17, 18)

As near as your own back porch . . .
