Last year, I had the honor of watching Carl and his 12 year old GSP, Fancy, participate in the inaugural AKC Master Hunter Excellent test.

As someone who has unintentionally been competing with an older dog due to our late start, I've found myself being worried about her age.

Ann Kroeker, Writing CoachTo Be More Creative, Write a Letter to Your Reader
Dear Writer,
It’s easy to freeze up when we’re writing for the faceless masses or the random reader who happens upon our words.
What do we say to all those people? How can we speak with heart to a total stranger?
Next thing you know, we second-guess our ideas, our prose, our very selves. We fade to beige without saying what we really think, without being specific, without our signature wit and whimsy.
What would that random person who doesn’t even know me think if I crack a joke?

This kind of Christianity leaves nothing “comely to be desired” by the flesh. The enemy wants to seduce us by our own ego and desires to sanctify ourselves, our greed and lusts, and our desire to exalt ourselves above one another. Obedience and love of the Lord and one another will keep our hearts aligned with the true will of God and deliver us from every seducing doctrine of devils.
