2. “One of our family’s all-time favorite pets was a dog named
Scampy. He was a black-and-tan, rag-eared mutt, part cocker,
part Schnauzer, part whatcha-ma-call-it. When he was six
months old, he was hit by a car and suffered a broken hind
leg, which was put in a splint. Gangrene developed, and the
veterinarian recommended euthanasia. My children, however,
full of love and affection for Scampy, lobbied for amputation,
and their tearful motion, put to a vote in a family council, was
carried.

3. To my pleasant surprise, Scampy adjusted
beautifully. Like a tricycle with the wheels reversed,
he developed excellent balance, and although
running in unorthodox motion, he moved amazingly
fast. Squirrels scattered when he flew off the back
porch as though propelled by a pogo stick

4. Friends of the children called him Hopalong or Tripod or Crip,
among other names, but Scampy had a couple of advantages
over people: He didn’t understand their jibes, and he didn’t
know that he had a disability. He lived on courageously for
many years, doing the best with what he had. People who
can do the same are, I am convinced, the winners in life.”

Need a Youth Camp/ Bible Study Series
on ”Running the Christian Race”?
The race as a metaphor for the Christian
life is used in several places in the Bible.
This series is a great follow up for new
Christians or to re-emphasize the basics of
our spiritual Journey in the Faith. This
Bible Study / Camp Curriculum has a
sports theme and is great for athletes as
well as a tie in to the youth Olympic
Games.
