To the individual(s) who abandoned this boy on our property on Sunday:

I don’t know his history or your circumstances, but there are kinder ways of ditching your dog. Much kinder than leaving him penned in somewhere he doesn’t know, by a loud freeway, with no food and water. (Thankfully some kind souls brought him some of both.) Sure, he’s aggressive to folks walking by, but honestly, I can’t blame him in such circumstances. He’s scared, just like any of us would be.

As much as it hurts my heart that he was left like this, I’m grateful you didn’t simply set him loose or something else that would put him in danger. Perhaps this was the kindest thing you could do—I don’t know. Thankfully, the Franklin County Dog Warden is allowing me, as the pastor of the church, to surrender him to their care. (By the way, that microchip of his told them who you are.) My prayer for him is that he can find a loving home that has patience for him and can help him heal, because as a dog person, I think he has potential to be a really great companion.

He’s now safe and sound with FCDS, and I hope you have a better day than you tried to give your boy.

✝️
Pastor Angie

Every year, Israel retells the Passover story—not just to recall the past, but to stay formed by it. Memory as identity. Memory as practice. Matthew 18 asks the church to go further: when someone is estranged, when conflict has torn the body, the work is to bring them back. Member by member.

Real remembering isn't passive. It's active re-membering—putting people back together. And as we gather at the Table this Sunday, that's exactly what we're doing.

We remember. We re-member. We become the story we tell. 🍞🍷 To watch online, visit https://www.youtube.com/. To learn more about Livingston UMC, visit us at livingstonchurch.org.

Moses stops at a burning bush and finds himself on holy ground. The disciples hear Jesus talk about suffering and the cross and find themselves on very hard ground. Two call stories. Neither one comfortable. Neither one safe.

God's work has a way of finding us right where we are—burning bushes and hard truths alike—and asking us to take off our shoes and follow anyway. What ground are you standing on these days—hard and holy, or a little too comfortable? 🔥

A baby hidden in a basket. Midwives who lied to Pharaoh to save lives. A stumbling, impulsive disciple who somehow becomes the rock on which a church is built. Unlikely foundations—and yet, here we are, generations later, still building upon them.

God has a pattern of building with what the world overlooks. Who are we to think we're too small, too flawed, too unlikely to be part of it?

The Canaanite woman asks Jesus for mercy, and he tells her the bread isn't meant for her. She doesn't argue the point; she says even the dogs get the crumbs that fall from the table. And Jesus heals her daughter. Meanwhile, Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his own brothers, reveals himself to them not with vengeance but with tears. “I am Joseph. Come close.”

Crumbs become a feast. Betrayal becomes reunion. Mercy keeps showing up where no one thought it would, crossing every line we draw around “our people.”
That's the kind of God we're dealing with. 🕊️
