We were looking for God, and we found Dog

Last night’s youth group meeting went rather well.  We had a discussion on mission trips and potential destinations.  It took a very theological turn somewhere in the middle and we ended up in 3 minutes or less with questions about repentance, Heaven, Hell, and whether or not God cares what we believe.  We’re looking at planning Theology on Tap Junior Edition (or Root Beer Edition) as a result of the students’ hunger to talk about weighty topics.

After the meeting everybody went out to the parking lot.  We discovered a small dog with a leash attached to his/her collar but no owner.  Also no tag (please, even if the dog is chipped put a tag on the collar!).  The dog was immediately loved to near-death.  After the youth left, I called the local police asking if a dog had been reported missing.  After I gave the description, the dispatcher gave me a perfect description of the dog’s collar and leash.  He said he’d send the owners to us.  I left the Youth Director standing at the curb with the dog waiting for the owner.  I hope he/she got picked up OK.

Makes you wonder.  Maybe this was a “least of these” test.

Next week will be fun – we’re doing “Movie in the Graveyard” for Halloween.
