JoJo the Theologian

I have a dog named JoJo. Just so you know, I am not like George Foreman who named all his chldren George (4 sons and a daughter named Georgette...not kidding). I named my dog JoJo because she is a Jack Russel terrier and when she acted like a Jack Russel I wanted to remember she was my idea. Anyway, I can't tell whether she is deeply religious and loves God or she is one of the new breed of virulent atheists who really hate God. During storms all the other dogs I have ever had run and hide under a bed especially if there are ear sleeping peals of thunder. Not JoJo. JoJo begs to go outside no matter how hard it is raining. Every time it thunders she runs back and forth in the yard looking up and barking her little brains out. She is a very strange dog. She is either running out there shouting to God and saying," You are the greatest and I am so pumped to hear you making all that noise. I'm JoJo and I just wanted to let you know I am exactly what you designed me to be. Look at me run and listen to me bark. Behold the Jack Russel you called forth from the foundation of the world". Or of course she is the deepest sinner dog who is out swearing and I just can't understand her. I think she is doing the former. I remember reading C.S.Lewis and he said that man is the only wild animal. Every other animal acts exactly the way he was created to act. Only man is in rebellion. So, the next thunderstorm you might see me out in the yard running and yelling with JoJo with my face to the sky and the glory of God in my heart.

Let me know when you go out in a thunderstorm with JoJo. I'll bring over my camcorder & we can split the $10,000 on America's Funniest Home Videos!
