God's Lessons Through My Dog, Zander: How God used a rescue dog to herd me back to Him. I confess Jesus to the world, and in turn, He will confess me to the Father (Matthew 10:32). This is my story of how a loving God and a frightened rescue dog combined forces to remind me of why I love Jesus and why life is better with Him. This is my testimony of heavenly power and promise. I am loved by a heavenly Father, and you are too! If you have ever labeled yourself an unworthy prodigal child-rebellious, lukewarm-come and read what I have learned. Seek, and you will find the Way to the only home you will ever need. Please bring your dog, because they are welcome too! God tells me, and I tell Zander: "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world" (Matthew 28:20 KJV). Merrilynn and Zander moved to rural Virginia almost three years ago from the east coast of Florida. Before that, she was a native of Vermont. She says of herself that she grew up Protestant in a Catholic town and converted to Catholicism in a Protestant town in Missouri. God is the same wherever you live and no respecter of persons.
