My Dog Wears a Sweater

Posted on Friday, December 23, 2011


We live in great abundance in the United States.  It is hard to understand this until you visit a poor country like I had the opportunity to do earlier this year when I traveled to South Africa to work in orphan care at the epicenter of the world AIDS pandemic.  Notwithstanding that amazing trip, which you can read about here, it was easy to settle back into my routine of abundance.  This is evidenced, in part, by the fact that my dog wears a sweater.   I try to tell folks that he is my “man dog” or that he is my “hunting dog”, but the truth is –well, you know what the truth is.  He is, to say the least, a luxury.  For goodness sakes he is wearing a sweater! READ MORE
