26. Long noses
If God meant Gentile Christians to look down their noses at little ones like us, He would have made them more prominent.
What does the dog have to say about that?
He says he's never seen anyone as qualified as he to look down his nose , but at the same time he has a disadvantage on height, he has this pressing need to look up to folks.
I guess the lesson I learn today from the dog, Ross's dog, is that no one can really be judgmental.
I dont like the term , 'mature Christian". It indicates ones excessive value of oneself, yes?
Some references to pride are misplaced. I hope that in doing this blog I might be able to promote to some few people a concept of God which will bring eternal Hope to them. With joy. And knowledge.
The dog says Christians can send themselves to the dogs but the converse is not well founded

Ross I think you are spot on there, what makes a Christian is to be as a little child, not childish but childlike.
Your posts have that quality, keep it up!.
Some scripture...
Mat 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Mat 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Being rooted and grounded... carries some weight..what?
yes.. the dog has it: the more right we have to look down our nose (and the dog's nose is long so he qualifies) the more we will look up to others (as he does)!
