Update on "The Cat"

Well, we never really came up with a name for the cat. I've been calling him "T.C" for...are you ready?....THE CAT. Ha! Shannon was calling him all kinds of crazy names.

We had a Blue Tick hunting dog show up at our house. We thought we knew who she belonged to so Shannon tied her out at Rosco's pen til we could get in touch with the guy. He couldn't come get her until the next day. Well, sometime during the night, the cat managed to become "prey" to the hunting dog and...well...now T.C. is no more. Shannon went out there the next morning to feed them and needless to say, I was very glad HE was the one that went and not ME. I was horrified and never thought the dog would kill the cat. And how the cat managed to wander over to a TIED DOG and let it kill him is beyond me.

Anyway...just thought I'd share the latest.

My Testimony

I was 9 years old and terrified that I was going to Hell when I died. I kept asking my mama questions about it. She would always just reassure me that I'd know when it was my time to ask Jesus in my heart. I went to Bible Camp that summer for the first time. The Lord spoke to my heart that Monday night during the preaching service through a sermon by Butch Lee. I didn't go down. I was afraid what the other kids would say...especially being new at camp and not knowing everybody. On Tuesday, I worried ALL day long because I KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT that if I died, I'd open my eyes in Hell. So back in the service on Tuesday night, I could hardly wait for the preacher to give the invitation. Sure I was still nervous, but I knew I needed him more than I needed to be nervous! I went down and got my counselor by the hand. My friend Libby followed. We knelt outside on the sidewalk and I repeated a prayer after my counselor. I don't really know that it would've mattered the words I said because God knew what was in my heart. I got saved that night and haven't been the same since! He put a wonderful peace in my heart that nothing else in the world can ever replace. I thank Him for that sweet moment of salvation and pray that I can be an example along the way for those I meet. You know, you're never too old or too young really to be saved. If you feel God speaking to your heart right now, just bow your head, close your eyes, and ask Him to come inside your heart and make you clean and pure and holy and be your Savior. It's that simple. Then YOU can have that wonderful peace that passes ALL understanding!
