If someone says they're a true Auburn fan and says they'll pull for Alabama except when they play Auburn, or if someone says they're a true Alabama fan and they'll pull for Auburn except when they play Alabama, then they'll lie about other things too.

Do You Like My Hat?

Do You Like My Hat?


Go Dogs Go.

I found this masterpiece to be insightful and full of ethically sound judgements?

This book is an amazing story of one dog's journey through life.

There is a profundity of life nesteled in the simplicity of this book. Why do we go? Why do we stop? We are all in this together, black, white, red, blue and green.

My life is about rules. I try to follow the rules. Its not my job to make you follow them. There are some rules that must be followed to be successful in life. I especially loved the part in the book where the dogs stopped at the red light and drove off again when the light was green again.

These dogs were following a path. The path was not wide, but it was the one laid out before them. There were stops on the path. There were directions along the way.

The dogs observed many things while they sojourned.

The sun is yellow regardless of where you go. This is infact science and one simply cannot argue with science. The sun shines on the just and unjust alike.

Its hot "on top" of the house, but not so much under the house. Can you stand the heat? Is it nice to be in the shade sometimes? I am reminded of what King Solomon said when he spoke of there being a time and purpose for all things under the sun.

At the end of the book, the dogs ascended to a higher place. There was a party there, a jubilee galore, but before they reached this destination, they had to follow the path that led them.

During this journey, there was one question asked over and again. Do you like my hat? I am not implying we have to accept everything that comes down the pike, but do we as people and how much more as those that are people of faith have to be so critical of everything? Why cant we be encouragers instead of naysayers?

There is a spirit of judgementalism and of being judged that creates an enormous divide between the people we want to be and the people whose lives we can and should touch.

Do you like my hat?

Do you like my hat?


Do you like my hat?


Do you like my hat? Do you?

I said i do.

I said i like your hat, it looks good on you.

Why yes, yes i do...It suits your head, now lets find something else to do...

But we all judge based on the outside of a man and nothing changes....

we sure could learn alot from this book.

Shalom
