How much are you willing to spend to save a dog’s life?
We justified a $4000 expenditure to save 5-year-old Chocolate. He should have a good 5-10 years of life in him. Even ordinary average human compassion could not let a little dog die when you know treatment is within reach, wouldn’t you do the same?
If a White Christmas is what puts you in the mood for the holidays, do not come to Southern California. It’s over 70 degrees today, even decidious trees are still green (wait, is that possible?)

A redhead, a brunette, and a blonde are at heaven’s gate. Saint Peter tells them, “You get into heaven by going up 1000 steps. At each step, I tell you a joke. If you laugh, you cannot get into heaven.”
The redhead made it up 50 steps and laughed. Poof, she was gone.
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, . . . Romans 4:18
God told Abraham clearly that he will be the father of many nations. God said, “I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come to you.” (Genesis 17:6) God changed his name from Abram, which means “exalted father”, which is pretty good already, to Abraham, meaning “father of many”, which is even better.
Amy was Citizen of the Week in her class this week. Today, Friday, the last day of her week, I get to go to her class and share about our culture.
I shared about the uniqueness of being ethnic Chinese growing up in America. We as Chinese-Americans can choose the best of both worlds of being Chinese and being American.
