the day in pictures

How to hold the attention of six dogs (Emma is checking)...

Trisha and friends

Puppies are growing up! Remember Emma (chocolate lab)?, and there's McKinlee, 11 months old

Ken is excited to open a gallon-size can of peanuts from Rigel. This dog really knows his dad.

Tex and Scooter during a lull in activity. Christmas outfits for all the dogs next year!

gems

From the 2003 memorial service for slain reporter Daniel Pearl (directed to Daniel Pearl's father):

"We are here to assert the Islamic conviction of the moral equivalency of our Abrahamic faiths. If to be a Jew means to say with all one's heart, mind and soul, 'Sh'ma Israel, Adonai Elohenu, Adonai echad; Hear o Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One,' not only today am I a Jew, but I have always been one, Mr. Pearl."

"If to be a Christian is to love the Lord our God with all of my heart, mind and soul and to love for my fellow human beings what I love for myself, then not only am I a Christian, but I have always been one, Mr. Pearl. We are here especially to seek your forgiveness and that of your family for what has been done in the name of Islam."
Imam Feisal Rauf

There are many things to be grateful "for" but, as I ripen with the seasons of life, the many reasons blend into a sacred mystery. And, most deeply, I realize that living gratefully is its own blessing.
Michael Mahoney

“Give me a candle of the Spirit, O God, as I go down into the deeps of my being. Show me the hidden things, the creatures of my dreams, the storehouse of forgotten memories and hurts. Take me down to the spring of my life, and tell me my nature and my name. Give me freedom to grow, so that I may become that self, the seed of which you planted in me at my making. Out of the deeps I cry to you, O God.”
--Prayer at night by Jim Cotter
