Turn Down That Dog!

From Kim Spangler


Many of you know that I am a very early riser. I love the stillness of the dawn and the hour I have with my quiet time. Except....yesterday!

You see, there was this dog down by the lake who decided to yap...not a few wake-the-day yaps, mind you, but 15 minutes of constant and irritating yaps!

I tried to focus on my scripture reading.   I shut the window.   I turned on the A/C.  Yaps.  Yaps frequent. Yaps fortissimo. Yaps forever.   I actually yelled (in my home), "Turn down that dog!"   Of course it made no difference, but I felt more empowered.

The point?   We have so many clients who have allowed themselves to pay attention to the "yapping dog" of their minds...the negative, shame-based, limiting yaps which play on endless loops.   Our job at W2W is to turn down/turn off the dog and turn on the TRUTH.
