Our Maisy...she's always happy to see us when we come home from work. And, today, I'm dwelling on the Lord's Word. My study today was explaining how we should use our gifts.

She usually can be found just like this...relaxing in her bed. Gotta' love her! By the way, this was in my Bible reading this morning.
