Every so often that dead dog dreams me up again.
It’s twenty-five years later. I’m walking along Forty-second Street in Manhattan, the sounds of the city crashing beside me—horns and gearshifts, insults—somebody’s chewing gum holding my foot to the pavement, when that dog wakes from his long sleep and imagines me.
I’m sweet again. I’m sweet-breathed and flat-limbed. Our family is stationed at Fort Niagara, and the dog swims his red heavy fur into the black Niagara River. Across the street from the officers’ quarters, down the steep shady bank, the river, even this far downstream, has been clocked at nine miles per hour. The dog swims after a stick I have thrown.
“Are you crazy?” my grandmother says, even though she is not fond of dog hair in the house, the way it sneaks into the refrigerator every time you open the door. “There’s a current out there! It’ll take that dog all the way to Toronto!”
“The dog knows where the backwater ends and the current begins,” I say, because it is true. He comes down to the river all the time with my father, my brother MacArthur, or me. You never have to yell the dog away from the place where the river water moves like a whip.
Sparky Smith and I had a game we played called Knockout. It involved a certain way of breathing and standing up fast that caused the blood to leave the brain as if a plug had been jerked from the skull. You came to again just as soon as you were on the ground, the blood sloshing back, but it always seemed as if you had left the planet, had a vacation on Mars, and maybe stopped back at Fort Niagara half a lifetime later.
There weren’t many kids my age on the post, because it was a small command. Most of its real work went on at the missile batteries flung like shale along the American-Canadian border. Sparky Smith and I hadn’t been at Lewiston-Porter Central School long enough to get to know many people, so we entertained ourselves by meeting in a hollow of trees and shrubs at the far edge of the parade ground and telling each other seventh-grade sex jokes that usually had to do with keyholes and doorknobs, hot dogs and hot-dog buns, nuns, priests, preachers, schoolteachers, and people in blindfolds.
When we ran out of sex jokes, we went to Knockout and took turns catching each other as we fell like a cut tree toward the ground. Whenever I knocked out, I came to on the grass with the dog barking, yelping, crouching, crying for help. “Wake up! Wake up!” he seemed to say. “Do you know your name? Do you know your name? My name is Duke! My name is Duke!” I’d wake to the sky with the urgent call of the dog in the air, and I’d think, Well, here I am, back in my life again.
Sparky Smith and I spent our school time smiling too much and running for office. We wore mittens instead of gloves, because everyone else did. We made our mothers buy us ugly knit caps with balls on top—caps that in our previous schools would have identified us as weird but were ...

The document discusses George Washington and how he saw himself as a "work in progress" similar to Gilbert Stuart's unfinished portrait of Washington. It provides examples from Washington's "Rules of Civility" of how he sought self-improvement. The document then discusses how Christians are also a "work in progress" through sanctification by the Holy Spirit. It provides tips on how to keep faith strong and grow closer to God through Bible study, prayer, worship, and fellowship.
The document discusses Martin Luther's view that the Church is like a hospital that heals the wounded. It provides 6 marks, or identifying characteristics, of the Christian people who make up this "hospital-Church":
1. They possess the Word of God preached and lived.
2. They are recognized through the holy sacrament of Baptism.
3. They are recognized through the holy Sacrament of the Altar (Communion).
4. They exercise the Office of the Keys publicly through confession and forgiveness of sins.
5. They consecrate Ministers to administer the Word, Sacraments, and Keys.
6. They are recognized through public prayer, praise
The document summarizes a sermon by Pastor Dave Hatch discussing the parable of the Good Samaritan. It analyzes the interpretations of the parable by early Church Fathers including Saint John Chrysostom. They viewed the Samaritan as representing Christ healing the wounded man and bringing him to the Church, represented as a hospital. The document asserts that Our Saviour Lutheran Church fulfills this role as a place where the broken can receive spiritual healing from Christ through the Church. It provides the schedule for upcoming church events in April.
The pastor visits a nursing home for worship services. He notices that attendance is growing since they made three changes: 1) Learning residents' names and calling them by name, 2) Arranging seating in a circle so residents can see each other, and 3) Adding trivia games to make worship more fun. One resident asks for prayers to walk again. The pastor reassures him they will pray for that, and look forward to the day when he can walk on streets of gold in heaven.
A man in prison wrote to Our Saviour Lutheran Church asking for money and a Bible. The church sent him a nice leather Bible and a large radio handbook instead of money. The man wrote a thankful six-page letter in return and included three handmade paper crosses as gifts. His response showed that small gifts can touch people's hearts.
Our Saviour Lutheran Church is announcing various upcoming events and needs volunteers. On December 2, 9, and 23 help is needed at Lambeau Field. The annual Christmas Cookie Sale will be held on December 9. Donations of cookies, candy, and breads are requested by December 8. Volunteers are also needed to distribute items to needy families by December 12. Scrip cards can be purchased to help support the church.
The document provides announcements for various church events including Wednesday night meals, adult confirmation classes, volunteer opportunities at Lambeau Field, youth activities, and fundraising events for the church and school. Adopt-a-Bill continues to raise additional funds and volunteers are still needed for Packer games. Classes, meals, and activities are announced for different ages. Donations are being collected for various organizations and opportunities to support the school are mentioned through magazine sales, haircuts, and auctions.
The document contains announcements for various church and school activities including adopting a bill to help pay invoices, adult education classes on basic beliefs, Wednesday night meals at the church, fish fries and chili dump fundraisers, volunteer opportunities including working at Packers games, and tours of Bethesda's original campus. It also includes notices about collecting donations for various causes, upcoming meetings, and youth activities like a movie outing and fundraising by waxing vehicles.
This document summarizes a passage from the Epistle to Diognetus, a 2nd century Christian apologetic text. The passage describes how early Christians lived in the world similarly to others but held themselves apart in their faith and devotion to God. It compares Christians to the soul inhabiting the body - living in the world but not being of it. The summary concludes by noting the document shows how Christians endured persecution despite increasing in number.
The document contains announcements for various church activities and volunteer opportunities at Our Saviour Lutheran Church, including:
- The praise band is looking for musicians to join them in practicing on Wednesdays and playing on Sundays.
- Sunday school teacher positions are available for those interested in teaching classes every other week.
- Several educational programs and volunteer roles are described, such as The Truth Project bible study classes and opportunities to donate items or time.
- Upcoming events are announced like the Fall Rally potluck on September 16th and a couples retreat from September 21-23.
The document is a newsletter from Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Green Bay, WI from September 2012. It discusses how the pastor's communion kit travels with him everywhere and the stories it could tell of bringing communion to those in hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, and other places. It notes how the kit's contents provide nourishment, hope, and freedom for those who receive communion from it.
The document contains announcements for a church congregation. It includes openings for the praise band, a request for Sunday school teachers, information about adopting a bill to help with unified receipts, details on an upcoming fall rally, an update on scrip sales, mite collection totals, opportunities to volunteer at Lambeau Field for Packers games, and various other church activities and donation requests.
This document is from The Voice Online and discusses being alone with God through prayer and reflection. It encourages readers to get away from crowds and distractions to spend time alone with God. It provides the example of Brother Lawrence, who found a way to be alone with God even when busy or among others. The overall message is that true faith involves cultivating an inner spiritual life through prayer and Scripture, and being alone with God helps one grow closer to Him.

Trusting God's Providence.
Providence - God’s active preservation and care over His creation. God is both the Creator and the Sustainer of all things Heb. 1:2-3; Col. 1:17
-God keep His promises.
-God’s general providence is toward all creation
- All things were made through Him
God’s special providence is toward His children.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
