Evie and I set out while it was still dark, and saw these little figures huddled up on the beach, awaiting the day.
And then we walked along the deserted shore as the sun popped up over the horizon and began to shine.
After walking about a mile, we encountered a man walking his pitbull dog and I said a quick "Hello" as I steered Evie up the beach a safe distance away.
After a while we turned back and began to pass the man and his dog again. This time I said "Hello! Have you got a puppy there?"
And he replied, "Yes, she's 5 months old," as we let our dogs go nose to nose.
I noticed he had on a wedding ring, and a knit hat that read Boy Scouts of America. And I thought, "He's a father and husband and even a scout. I don't need to fear him because of his dog."
God teaches me to overcome my prejudices often in this way.
Love, Ronda
