  “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”

The Creator has designed a canine truly reflecting His great love for me. He has instilled instincts into the Bloodhound that drive the dog to completion of the task. It has been said that you can wave a freshly grilled cheeseburger–with all the trimmings–under the nose of a tracking Bloodhound, and it will not be distracted. Recently, in Indiana, a herd of six deer darted from the woods across NIXTER’s track, and he never even lifted his nose from the ground. Every time I witness my Bloodhound working I am reminded of the trek to the cross taken by my Lord. Nothing deterred His love for me; nothing distracted Him from the task of obtaining my salvation. From the salient sin in the gorgeous garden to the temptation from Satan in the wilderness to the petitioning prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane to the cruel crucifixion, He stayed the course. He searched me out, rescued me from sin, death, and the power of the devil that I may be His own! That’s true recovery: my redemption!************************************************************************************************************

There is a myriad of reflections that the Lord has imprinted on the Bloodhound that draw my attention to His character.  Being aware so that not to miss them has become a focus for my life.
