Since we have had Presley, he has been trying to escape.

Back in August I fastened pieces of 1/4" plywood to the bottom of all the gates we have. Plus used cement blocks some places too. Hey, he is a small dog and I have always had larger dogs before. Never thought he would try to leave all this land we have and try it a couple of times. The sad part I know he will keep trying. 

You can see how he is thinking, how can I escape??? He found a few ways. I needed to button the areas up with wire ties and different ways. 

So, this last Saturday I decided to put up these plastic barriers. I took the plywood off and drilled out hole in the plastic pieces and used wire ties to hold them in place.  

Plus, a couple of the gates I lowered down so that works too. 

Here I need to keep blocks here. The reason is the gates swing both ways. We have a pitbull dogs.  on both sides of our property and they try to get in and play with Presley sometimes. Here Smokey tries to dig under the gates. plus, like I said he can push the gates open. I even had to put a brick in the area he loves to dig. 

These gates are needed to open and close. We have a lawn service that cuts our grass, and they need to get in without any trouble for them too. 

This is one of the gates I just lowered and there really no hole under it anymore. 

Folks today I wanted to take my wife south to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale. 

But first of all, we started out and realized there was a few things I didn't do before leaving. So, we turned around and watched it online. It was done very well. I am so proud of being part of that church and even working there. The most important part of being part of Calvary was, I gave my life to Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savor on Oct 26th, 1996. 

This day, they did praise and worship and there were a few folks that came back to be there to share their stories of how they got to be part of Calvary. That brough back many memories and thoughts on how I was very blessed to be part of this story too. I worked there from 1999 to 2005. Then was a missionary for them to go to Bahamas. I was (I believe) called there to help out. I was there for 9 years. Then came back and work at Calvary 2014 to 2016. So, this church has been part of my whole Christian life. 

Looking back and seeing how God use so many people to be part of Calvary back then and still. 

The only regret I have is NOT KNOWING JESUS YEARS BEFORE. 

But God's plan is HIS PLAN. Thank you, Lord.
