Sometimes, Rufus is a pain in my butt and doesn't listen or chews up my belongings.

The light shines through the darkness, and the darkness has not, will not, and shall not over come the light. This New Year's Day and every day is a mini resurrection, and through Christ's death we are made new. Happy New Year everyone! #happynewyear #WhereTheLightShinesThrough #liveitwell #theBIGthings (at Mt. Cross Ministries)
