More Than Showing Up

So my MOM talked to her congregation today about “Showing Up is Just the Beginning”,  that being a Christian is more than just showing up on Sunday.  That got me thinking.  Just “showing up” and getting a dog or a cat or any pet really, might make you a “parent,” of that furry child, but it does not make you a house breaking, vet taking, training, hugs and kissing, walking, feeding, playing, grooming, loving, lifetime relationship MOM or DAD.

I Would also add bubble blowing. I LOVE to chase the bubbles my MOM blows for me. She will make as many bubbles as I can chase down, and trust me I can chase A LOT of bubbles.


"Companionship with a dog touches the broader issue of our relationship with all of creation and with the Creator."

  1. Well, well, we didn't know you were a bubble dog. Guess what My Vickie pulled out for day care tomorrow?

    You got it....The bubble machine.

  2. There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
