Who can you encourage today?
Today, while I was out walking the dog, I ran into an occasional dog acquaintance. When I first met her, she was working out of her home and had a relatively flexible schedule. I would see her a couple of mornings a week. Then she disappeared. Actually, she had transitioned into a “corporate job” and was walking her dogs at 5:30 in the morning, so from my point of view, she had disappeared.

When I was a kid, many long years ago, I didn’t have very many friends. I went to the Catholic school attached to our parish church, but the church was far enough away that we had a local chapel where the families in our area attended Mass. So, if I wanted to participate in school activities, I had to be dropped off and picked up. My parents were overprotective, my father having been scarred for life by the Lindbergh kidnapping.
