Well, as many of you know, my wife loves pets. I tolerate pets, but I love Debbie. So we have two cats and two dogs; two little dogs and two regular-size cats, I guess. And, ah, she asked me the other day, she said, "Jeff, I want to get another dog." She said, "I'd like to get a Great Dane" (laughter). I said, "That's fine, but first let me schedule my lobotomy."..

The Fear Factor: Why We Should Fear God by Jeff Lynn
Let us remember that the apostle Peter is giving instruction to these recipients as to how to live as exiles and sojourners both socially and spiritually.

It Was Grace That Taught My Heart To Fear by Jeff Strite
