HE DELIGHTS IN ME? WHAT THE? WHO ME???? The Lord your God is with you. He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you. He will quiet you with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing.

Nine years ago, my youngest son brought home a pup from his friend’s farm. Since then Appollo-nick name Polli- has been a rascal, but the joy of our lives. Needless to say, we have become lovers of Chocolate Labs. Once they get out of their puppy stage, and become potty trained, they are the best of pets. They are…
