10th Sunday after PentecostAugust 17, 2025Jeremiah 23.23-39; Luke 12.49-56           There is no greater master of lies and deception than a dog who wants their owner to simply go stark raving mad.  I give you case and point, my beloved, adorable, entirely maddening, Scully.  Don’t get me wrong, I love this dog.  I adore this dog.  BUT!  She has mastered the art of messing with me to the point that I wish she was just a smidge dumber.             This has been going on since she was a…
