And yet, much of our time and energy as leaders and shepherds is consumed by chasing after tips, tricks, and secrets to "grow" churches.

With dogs, you get back what you put in, just as you do with your human relationships. Dogs, however, show more ability to forgive the cruelty and indiscretion of ignorant people - well, at least that's what I have observed. As the old saying goes, no such thing as a bad dog, just a bad owner, and this I believe, with all my heart. All my dogs have been rescue dogs taken from lives of abandonment and often cruelty.
