NOW, THAT'S MORNING BREATH

I read in my favorite little monthly paper, The Imogene Hub, about a family with a young yellow Lab like our Sunny Bone-O. They also got an invisible shock fence for him, as we did for her. He seemed to be catching on, ‘til late one night, his owner let him out, and he raced away.

They were out looking for him ‘til midnight. The next morning, the dog catcher called.

It seems their Lab had scooted through a neighbor’s doggy door and ventured upstairs. The man of the house was out of town. The dog crawled into his space in the bed, presumably circled, and plopped down and fell asleep.

The lady of the house woke up to the worst morning breath ever.

Now, there’s a howler of a way to start the day.

Prayer request: We mourn the senseless death of an Omahan who was a medic in the Iraq war. He was mowed down on the road over there while aiding another soldier. Eric Paul Woods, 26, will be greatly missed. His life is lifted to You, Lord, as a sacrifice for the freedom of the rest of us, and the Iraqi people. Be with his wife, Jamie, who works in the preschool of my former church, and 3-year-old son. Thank You for giving us young people determined to be a positive force in our world, like Eric. May he rest in Your tent ‘til he’s reunited with his loved ones. (Psalm 91:9,10)
