Steven, as a son of God, you can tell that dog to be quiet. Try it out...that dog is subject to you because you are in Christ.See this is what I mean. It's an otherwise quiet Sunday morning and across the canal at the other developement I hear a dog yelping continuously,cutting into my train of thought.I need this like a hole in the head. Yet I'm supposed to be continuously happy according to mainstrean Christian thought.
dog, hush...
