Well... one more guy in my life... grew up with two brothers... single-mom to my wonderful son, and now a new guy.... with four legs. No, not a mutant. A puppy. Marshall Tumani Kwa Moore is a purebred Golden Retriever. His mom, Molly, and dad, Moses, belong to a friend of mine, Rev. Sylvia. He was born on May 9, 2008. He's met lots of people in the last week since leaving his mama and has done really well. He's getting much more comfortable with his surroundings... and bolder. Be in the heat he likes to sleep a lot... or play outside in the night. And... I'm hoping that maybe he'll be the best anti-depressant around... he already has (except for I'm tired from those every-3-hours trips outside just as I'm really getting into deep sleep, but that will pass). He's so smart and I think someday he'll make a great therapy dog as well as my buddy.
His middle name (Tumani Kwa) is Swahili and means "Hope for". One: Hope is big in my life... as my Bible Life Verse is Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "Plans for your welfare and not your harm, plans to give you a future with HOPE." TWO: I live in a town that has HOPE in its name. THREE: Our church camp and 2 counselors helped send money (and the 2 counselors) to a grade-school in Tanzania with beautiful children who had nowhere to learn near by until the school was guilt. The money helped build a new school room to their small school. The school's name? Tumaini English School.... School of Hope. FOUR: I love word play with my name... so if you know me... say his English translation middle name with my last name and you'll see my philosophy. :-)
I'm going to try to post a picture, but in the past when I've tried, it hasn't worked.
