Hello Friends, I reproduce below a news item appeared in the "Times of India" on 12.7.2001. I think it is worth pondering. Love, Sibi --------------------------------------- Dog walks 26 kms to church every Sunday --------------------------------------- Lisbon: Unlike many humans, Preta the dog goes to church every Sunday and even walks 26 kms to get there. Every Sunday for the last three years, the pooch has headed out of her owners home in the northern Portuguese town of Sobrado at 5.00 am, Correio da Manha newspaper reported on Monday. A former stray, Preta Portuguese for black walks alone to a church in neighbouring Ermesinde to take her usual place next to the altar in time for 7.30 am mass. Whenever worshippers stand up or sit down, Preta does the same. Once mass is over, she usually walks back home. Sometimes Preta will return in a car but only with a human she knows, the newspaper said. Congregations have grown at the church as many people come just to see Preta, Correio da Manha said. --- The lord is the strength of my life Ps 27:1 __________________________________________________ Sibi Joseph Ahmedabad, India Tel: 079 685 7974 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get 250 color business cards for FREE! http://businesscards.lycos.com/vp/fastpath/ ********************************************************************** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
