Emphasis Preaching Journal

Once a week my wife and I visit the Alzheimer unit in the retirement village where we live. It's always an emotional, moving experience for us. We visit for awhile in a circle, and often some of the patients will get into the conversation, eager to share something from way back in their lives. Last week, Bill talked a long time about his dog, Rover, which waited at the back porch of the farm home for his mother to come out and say, "Go get 'em, Rover." Then Bill described how that dog knew exactly how to bring the cows in for milking.
