Our Footsteps: Meet Mocha

Meet Mocha

Today my son Jesse became the proud owner of a new pet. Her name is Mocha, and she is a Chestnut Mini-Lop, who happened to win Best of Show in her breed at the local farm show last week.

We were on the receiving end of the generosity of a local business who placed the winning bid for this prize rabbit.

Since we found out the bunny was going to be ours, I spent four evenings building a bunny hutch for Mocha, hammering together two-by-fours and chicken wire. The hutch is well equipped with a small living room with a round entrance; a play area including a ramp to the loft area; an eating area; and of course a stylish purple litter box where she will do... well... you know...

The dog wasn't real happy to find out he just gained a new sister. And no doubt the feelings are mutual for sister. Mocha is a little jumpy in her new environs (I guess I've been a little out of whack too when I've moved to a new home). But she will soon learn that she's in good hands - Jesse will make a great bunny owner.

I Believe...

1). I believe that there is one God. I believe God consists of three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
2). I believe that God is holy, righteous, loving, and just.
3). I believe that mankind is separated from God by sin; that sin entered the world through Adam and death through sin.
4). I believe that, because of sin, man is condemned. Because of God’s utter hatred for sin, there is an eternal conscious punishment in hell for all those who do not come to God on His terms, dealing with their sin.
5). I believe that confessing our sins and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord is the only way to properly deal with the sin that has infected everyone. Jesus Christ paid our sin debt on the cross; reconciliation by substitution. There is nothing we can do to add to the finished work of Christ.
6). I believe in the security of the believer, that once he is truly born-again, there is nothing that would cause him to lose his salvation.
7). I believe that upon the death of a true believer in Christ, that he is ushered immediately into the presence of the Lord, where he will live in everlasting joy in Heaven, experiencing eternal fellowship with God.
8). I believe in believer’s baptism by immersion. I don’t believe baptism is necessary for salvation, but it is a beautiful outward profession of an inward possession.
9). I believe in a literal 6-day creation where God created the heavens and the earth and then rested on the seventh day.
10). I believe that the words written in the Bible are truth. I believe that the Bible is inerrant in its parts and in its whole. I believe that the 66 books that make up the canon of scripture make the Bible complete and that God inspired the words written therein. The things that were written down in the Bible are sufficient for every need we have. Not only is God’s Word sufficient, but it is far superior to any other method of handling the problems that man faces, since He has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness.
