Day 99. There are three horses that live in the pasture behind our house. They used to come by every afternoon and the kids would go out and feed them an apple or carrots. They were always friendly and very gentle. Lately they haven't been coming close to the houses and when they do they are aggressive and almost mean. A man down the street told me that someone has been teasing them. What a shame. I won't let my kids feed them anymore because they have started biting. We had a dog when Matthew was little that was just the best dog, until the kids next door started poking him with sticks and throwing rocks at him. He became viscous to anyone who came to the fence. People are no different. If you pick at them they will get hurt and then even be mean. And the one who does the picking won't understand it. Why do we bite and devour one another, when we are supposed to have compassion. Jesus even went so far as to say that we should love our enemies. When was the last time you saw a Christian with that kind of compassion. What a shame.
