Well, we live in Texas and around here THE ALAMO has tremendous significance. Now it has a double meaning since we have just gotten a brand new puppy. He is a silver Labrador named Alamo and he is just about the cutest thing you have ever seen.
Raising a puppy is a little like when our kids were little - a lot of work, but boy can you meet a lot of people and effortlessly get into a lot of conversations in the neighborhood, or at our kids games, so I guess he is our "missional" puppy!
