Amen, Bow-wow

Still thinking of St. Francis Day and our Blessing of the Animals, Gracie Stewart–St. Bede’s Sunday School teacher and mother of four kids and one dog–just sent along this link to a video, entitled “God and Dog.”

It’s sweet, some might say syrupy. And the part of me that was raised on David Letterman and came of age with The Simpsons has difficulty surrendering to its sincerity. But that’s my problem. In fact, I think it’s good for me–almost a kind of spiritual discipline–for me to set aside my over-developed sense of irony and embrace this video for what it is. So here you go. Who knew something like this could inspire such soul-searching?
