Psych Eval and Dog

Psych Eval

As part of working through our church’s Nurture program, we had to take a bubble test and have an evaluation by a psychologist. We made a mistake on the date, so after traveling there two days in a row and meeting the psychologist the second time we found out the results. There are 5 rankings or groupings that the test results put you into and Tina and I ended up in the highest ranking (labeled as "Vitalized"). The Lord has prepared our hearts to be solid and steady (we pray for and will put effort into this continuing). This is one less thing that we have to put significant effort into. I don’t want it to seem that it’s not something that we have to work at, but it’s just not an area that could initially be a big issue for us, Lord willing.

Our next step is to meet with the missions pastor.

Dog


We spoke with someone yesterday that is interested in our dog, Tifi (her name means “little girl” in Creole…it’s supposed to be funny…she a big dog…we call her “little girl”….get it?...funny right?...I sometimes have the Freeman Schlorf sense of humor…at least I don’t call all my dogs “Rusty” because I wouldn’t be able to remember a new name….and I don’t call all dogs “he” and all cats “she”…anyway…[nudge, nudge, Dad..]). :-) We have a very good feeling that it will work out well and that the dog will have a good new home. They have a large fenced in yard and another dog. I think that Tifi would like this situation. We’ll be trying to get her used to her new owners by trying to meet up once before we bring her to her possible new home for a couple day trial.
