On Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day


We show our love;
We express our deep affections.
Those who are important to us
Get cards and sweet confections.

But Christian love is not just for
The ones we hold most dear;
Jesus said "love everyone;"
He made that very clear.
For Christians, it is every day.
We should care and love and serve
Everyone we meet in life,
Whether they do or don't deserve.

Let's follow Jesus' good command
To love everyone we meet.
Valentine's Day every day
Will make life twice as sweet.

Dog who believes he is a cat


UK Story ..........Chippy, a dog who developed an identity crisis after sharing a home with 40 cats, is being offered for adoption by the Cats Protection League as an 'honorary' feline.

The Jack Russell never learned how to be a dog after spending his life around cats, the charity in Stroud, Gloucestershire believes.

Liz Dart, who is fostering Chippy in Nailsworth, said: "He came to us as part of a rescue from a multi-cat household in Cirencester.

"At first we were told he was 19, blind and deaf but that wasn't the case.

"We couldn't leave Chippy behind because he had lived with cats all his life. I suppose, having always lived among them he just doesn't know any different. He never learned how to be a dog.

"He goes to bed with Annie, one of the other cats, as they are very close and ideally we would home them together. She's very protective of him.

"He didn't really bark and still uses a litter tray now. He has chewed up a toy mouse – whether he was responding to cat nip on it, I don't know. He eats dog food now – goodness knows what he ate before."

Vets believe that Chippy is aged between 13 and 15 years old.

"He's a very gentle, old dog and we are very fond of him. It's sometimes hard to find a good home for elderly pets," Miss Dart continued.

"He doesn't mind children but a quieter home would suit him better because of his age."

A vet has estimated that he is aged between 13 and 15 years old.

'Writing' on the Stroud Cats Protection League website, Chippy said: "During the last 19 years I have lost count of the number of cats that I have shared my home with.

"I use a litter tray but have never got the hang of purring! When my owner and 40 felines were evicted the nice people at CP just couldn't leave me behind."

Ex-TCU football player Lorenzo Jones shot during argument over can of beer


A former Texas Christian University football player was shot after an argument with his mother's boyfriend over a can of beer, according to Florida authorities. Lorenzo Jones, 22, was hospitalized after he was shot in the abdomen on June 30, according to the Broward County sheriff's office.

According to the Broward County sheriff's office, Jones, who was visiting his mom during a break from school, had gotten into an argument with his mom's boyfriend, Ricky Von Welch, at her apartment complex. Welch knocked a can of beer from Jones' hand and the two men, who were armed with folding knives, threatened to attack each other. At one point, the men dropped their knives, and Jones slapped Welch in the face, authorities said. Welch then went inside the apartment and got a handgun.

According to the sheriff's office, Jones said, “What are you going to do, shoot me?”

Jones was taken to Broward General Medical Center where the Miami Herald reported he was listed in critical condition last week. The hospital today did not immediately comment on whether Jones remained hospitalized.

Welch, 46, was accused of attempted murder a day after the incident and remained in custody this morning. No bail was set, according to the Broward County sheriff's Web site.

A backup defensive tackle, Jones was a standout at McKinney High School and one of TCU's top recruits in 2005.

Jones and two former TCU basketball players were accused of raping an 18-year-old student in her dorm room in October 2006. Jones, who was never indicted, spent 11 months in jail before the charge was dismissed.
