the preacher's story

I sent India to go do an errand at the grocery store. I was too busy to go myself because I was preparing my sermon for -Sunday ‘s mass. All of a sudden I heard India come home with more than just groceries. She brought a dog home. I couldn’t believe it we had discussed it already. I looked at the dog and inspected his matted-up fur and he smelled pretty bad. India named the dog Winn- Dixie after the store where she found him. I was feeling sorry for the dog because he was a stray. I thought to myself what a poor unfortunate animal, he too deserves a home. My daughter went to bathe him while I went back to work. I was noticing that my daughter was lonely; so I thought having a dog would be help her make new friends. India made new friends because of Winn –Dixie like, Sweetie Pie, Thomas, Miss Franny Block, Otis, Gloria, Stevie and Dunlap. One day the dog put his head on my lap, India asked me to tell her ten things about her mother. I said out loud ‘’I should have guessed you were going to be trouble’’.
