This poor puppy was brought to the Allegan Shelter on 7/22/23 Tango is estimated to be bor n 10/9/22 so he s spent almost half of his life in the shelter He has no idea how good l fe can be! Tango was brought to the Allegan Shelter as a stray puppy who was just old enough to be over looked In the care of the Wishbone/Allegan Shelter team, he has been neutered, microchipped, brought up to date on vaccinations/prevention, and loved beyond measure Tango is a fr iendly playful smar t pup who loves play ng with all kinds of toys (soft/squeaky are the best) and going for walks with the shelter volunteers He loves to ear n and wil be a lot of fun to tra n! Tango loves people but can be a bit war y meeting some men (especially those with beards) Though he s initially fearfu of some men, he war ms up to respectful guys who let him set the pace and give him tasty treats including the male staff and volunteers at the shelter This adorable dog could join an active home that includes other dogs, kids, and potentially cats Tango loves play ng with puppy fr ends at the shelter and would be happy to have a doggie sib ing to play with in the family A home with kids 8 years and up would be a good fit Tango has met a few cats at the shelter and is interested in tr ying to play with them, but is always more interested in the person holding his leash and getting snuggles so his attent on s easy to redirect A slow introduction between new dogs and cats is always recommended Apply to foster or adopt terr ific Tango Please fill out an adoption application at: wishbonepetrescue org

“WILL YOU ALSO GO AWAY?”

Near the end of our Lord’s ministr y on ear th, even those closest to Him began to move away from Him It may well have been out of fear They may have feared that what was happening to Him would happen to them also

People keep their distance from Jesus for a var iety of reasons including unbelief, fear of commitment, indifference and pr ide A deeper question may be why people once committed to Him, would want to withdraw from Him? Wor ldly a l l u r e m e n t s, u n a n swe r e d q u e s t i o n s, h u m a n suffer ings, disappointment and disillusionment may also play roles in moving away from Jesus T h e r e a l q u e s t i o n i s : H ow c a n we s t ay c o n n e c t e d w i t h J e s u s ? H e r e a r e s o m e suggestions

FOCUS

What we focus on is what gives life meaning In the stor y of Jesus walking on water, Peter is invited to get out of his boat and walk towards Him When he took his eyes of Jesus, he began to sink (Matthew 14:22-32) This is what happens when we take our eyes off Jesus

FAITH

“Faith is being sure of what we hope for and cer tain of what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1) The bottom line question: What do we believe? Do we believe Jesus is the Son of God? Do we believe Jesus is with us in our situation? Do we believe in the healing power of Jesus Chr ist? If we believe wholehear tedly in the presence of Jesus Chr ist, we will be able to face anything

FELLOWSHIP

Jesus said, “Wherever two or three are gathered in my name there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20) Bill Br ight, founder of Campus Cr usade for Chr ist, used the analogy of logs bur ning on a fire together If one is put aside on the cold hear th, its fire will go out Thus, God commands us to not forsake “the assembling of ourselves together” (Hebrews 10:25)

FRIENDSHIP

Jesus said, “I no longer call you ser vants Instead I have called you fr iends, for ever ything that I lear ned from my Father I have made known to you” (John 15:15) Like any fr iendship, our relationship with Chr ist is nur tured through prayer and studying God’s Word

Prayer: My prayer is that during these holy days of Lent, we will deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ In His strong name, I pray, amen

When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jer usalem 14 In the temple cour ts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple cour ts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and over tur ned their tables 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop tur ning my Father’s house into a mar ket!”

John 2:13

REFLECTION: The temple was designed by God to be a tool to facilitate communion between God and people But the temple of Jesus’ day was more of an obstacle between God and people The religious leaders were over-charging people for animal sacr ifices People coming to worship at the temple couldn’t purchase an animal at a r ural Walmar t where they could get a good deal Worshipers had to buy their sacr ifice in the temple because those animals were pre-approved or, better, pr iest-approved And the pr ice for the animals sold in the temple was mar ked up substantially Religious people and practices that were supposed to facilitate communion between God and people had actually become a barr ier between God and people This is why Jesus got so upset Many of us have exper ienced barr iers to communion with God, even in the church today Don’t get me wrong I love the church I’m a pastor, after all The most beautiful humans I know, I have met in a church Some of the greatest good that has been done in the wor ld has been done by the church But there are many, many people among our family and fr iends who came to a local church to commune with God and found needless barr iers The barr ier was not the over pr icing of animals Some of the barr iers that get in the way and cause church hur t are hypocr isy, in-fighting, greed, division, and judgmentalism to name a few I don’t know of any Chr istian, myself included who has not exper ienced some of these church hur ts And if I’m being really honest I have been guilty of some of these barr iers due to my immatur ity and selfishness Lord, Jesus, forgive me Dur ing this Easter season, many people who don’t often venture into a church take the r isk by attending on their quest to find the God who made, knows, and loves them My prayer is that the church I ser ve, First Congregational Church of Otsego, and the churches I ser ve with in our community would par tner with Jesus to remove any church barr ier that might get in the way of hungr y souls tr ying to connect with God After all, at Easter we especially remember how Jesus expended blood, sweat, and tears to remove barr iers and reconcile humanity’s hope with God’s hear t

PRAYER TIME: Lord forgive us for the needless barr iers we have put on the pathway of people wanting to commune with you Empower your Church with compassionate courage to remove those barr iers In the name of Jesus, Amen
