Fisherman's Prayer: I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast,I then most humbly pray, when in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep that in His mercy I be judged BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP!

A Christmas Story

Two weeks ago on Sunday my mother in law Lynda was walking out of church and found a stray dog running in the parking lot. This was in Wichita, Kansas. She took him,Bentley to the humane society to have him scanned for a microchip because he had no tags. He was chipped! He belonged to a family in Houston Texas. The humane society was trying to figure out how they would get the dogs from Kansas to Texas. Lynda still standing there told them she would be heading to Fort Worth on Wednesday she could take Bentley that far if the Houston family could meet here there! The family, the father Thomas said that Bentley belonged to his 4 year old son Jonathan. They had been in Wyoming for Thanksgiving and stopped in Wichita over night when Bentley escaped and ran off and they could not find him. They were going to get Jonathan a new puppy for Christmas but Jonthan told them no that Bentley was coming home. Three weeks later, he was! Thomas drove to Fort Worth Christmas eve as Lynda drove there as well, we all meet at 9pm Christmas eve to return Bentley back to Jonthan for Christmas. The Wichita news interviewed, filmed and broadcasted it on the evening news. The Fort Worth news was there when we made the exchange to return Bentley and also the Houston news filmed the homecoming! It also was covered and Fox news and CNN news! Thats crazy! Just a heart warming Christmas story I wanted to share!
