Weird: Is your dog zen? If not, you’ll no doubt want to get him some zen dog treats. “ZenPuppy Treats are formulated with specific herbs, botanicals, and other natural ingredients to help promote your dog’s wellness; Beauty, Energy, Smarty, Agile, and Peace.”

    Why Fallen Pastors So Rarely Walk Away

    Have you ever wondered why pastors who have been disqualified from ministry so rarely concede to the reality of their disqualification and just move on? Have you ever wondered why they so often disappear for a year or so and then turn up at another church or in a different denomination?
