“For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgression from us.” Psalm 103:11-12

Spring Cleaning Tips for Your Pet - Lisa Pogue, Pet Paradise Resort
Take A Close Look At Your Pet’s Belongings
First, take a moment to inspect all your pets’ toys to make sure they are still in good shape and do not pose any
choking hazards. Pet toys can “age” very quickly, so it is always good to replace these frequently. Has your dog’s bed seen better days? Stuffing coming out? Is your cat’s scratching post coming apart? It is important to take a close look at the things your pet uses on a daily basis and make sure they are still in good shape…if not, it’s time to replace!
Take a close look at your pet hygiene routine!
1. Keep fur brushed and free of mats.
2. Bath as needed, make sure you buy pet shampoo!
3. Check your pets nails, ears and eyes. It is important to keep your dogs nails short so they do not snag or catch on anything.
4. Make a routine and stick to it! Make a pledge to bathe your pet once a week, clip nails regularly and check their ears!
5. Teeth- keep an eye on your pets teeth. If they start to discolor, talk to your vet about it! It might be time for a cleaning.
Medical Record Check:
Take a moment to review your pet’s medical records – are they due for their annual exam or for any immunizations? Has your pet moved from the adult stage to senior status? Does your veterinarian recommend anything different this year? Give your vet office a call and find out!

Last night we talked about the importance of using cash…it’s working for Dianne!
Hi Jen,
I heard you tonight talking about cash and I wanted to share my cash story with you. I am an impulsive shopper……….. I see. I want. I buy.
My poor husband had given up. After 28 years of watching the money he worked so hard for fly out the window, he often asked me to change my ‘nickel and dime’ ways. I tried, but there was always something, someone in our family of seven, needed. A few weeks ago, after coming home from a grocery trip, I could not find my ATM card. I called Wal-Mart. They looked high and low, but the card was nowhere to be found. My ATM card has played hide-n-seek with me several times, but I always won. It never occurred to me to cancel it; I knew it would turn up.
I felt a glimmer of hope as a light bulb blinked in my head. I had a good idea, or as I
call them a God idea. I realized that if I didn’t have a card my spending could
be curtailed. So, a few minutes after calling Wal-Mart, I called the bank and canceled
my card. I told the surprised customer service representative that I did not want
them to send me another one.
The day before, my husband decided to try Dave Ramsey’s cash system, again. He put
several hundred dollars in an envelope. Any time I needed money I took $20 or
$40. Like you, I’ve learned that it’s harder to part with hard cold cash, then to
hand over a piece of plastic, but I have always been dependent on my card.
Well, the point of my long-winded tale is that when payday came around, we still had a $100
dollar bill in our envelope, and more importantly, there was a marked difference in our checking account. My husband was amazed and I was thankful. There may be hope for me, yet.
And then my son found my card in my car!
Jen, thank you for your dedication to Jesus Christ and to KSBJ. Just think where we all
would be if we listened as well as God.
In Christ, a faithful listener since 1983,
Dianne
Years ago, I modified the slogan from the soap, “The Days of our Lives.”
“Like sand through the hour glass so are the days of our lives.”
TO “Like sand through the hour glass” so is money through my hands.
