FINAL BEGINNINGS

The NBA's Western Conference Finals begin tonight. The Spurs vs The Mavericks. The start of this finals series will be tempered a bit for me this evening though, knowing our close friends have made the heart wrenching decision that their old dog has reached the finals too. He was no longer living a quality life and they were forced to help him along to end his pain.

They suffered in order to end his suffering.

These are dear Christian friends and I know they will remember the nobility of such decisions because they learned them from their Master.
