Bad hot dog!

Three nights ago Olivia was finishing her dinner when Sheryl got home and made herself a hot dog. Livi was of course right there wanting a bite of it so Sheryl made her one of her own (cut into very small pieces).Sheryl told her it was a hot dog. Livi kept saying dog while pointing to the back yard. Sheryl corrected her and told her it was a hot dog, Livi the said hot dog a few dozen times while dipping her the pieces into the ketchup and eating it happily.
The Next morning Gracy (the boxer puppy) was being a bad dog and doing something naughty so Sheryl yelled out the back door "grace bad dog". Olivia hearing this ran to the back door and put her hand out expressively and yelled ba ho dog (bad hot dog).
I'm still not sure what to make of this but I think she may have thought that we feed her one of the dogs for dinner and she seemed ok with that. What do you think?

God really cares, WOW!

Just now driving to work I was trying to find a radio station and nothing good was on so I scanned the dial and it stopped on the Christian radio station. It happened to be a song that I liked so I left it there. As I was driving through the gotta get to work traffic, I started thinking about everything I have to do today and that lead to every thing I have to do in my life (ouch). I was recently informed that Dr. Shane (the doctor that I work for) has gotten a job in Japan and is leaving his practice here. I will have no job in Aug. and that really scares me especially now that I am more than just me and I have to feed and house another person. I was thinking about how I have no money and maybe I won't find a job in time and that I'm never going to get to live my dream life because of all of the stupid mistakes I have made; and that all I have ever wanted is to be loved and safe. At the very moment when I was about to really loose it beating myself up the song changed (even though I am walking through the valley of the shadow, I will hold the hand of the one how will take care of me) and it was like God swooped into my car and put His arms around me and reminded me of all of the promises He has made and that He will keep them. He reminded me that He would be Olivia's father and He will provide for us both. He told me He sent me to this valley and that He will help me walk through it. Best of all He told me that He loves me.
I just had to share this with you because this kinda stuff has only happened to me a handful of times and each of those times God has been faithful to keep His word to me. Please pray with me that God will provide and that I will find a new job oh yeah maybe a fella cause that would be really nice. I am still misty eyed and amazed at how much God does love us.
I hope that this makes since to anyone else.
