This past Saturday, my son brought home a little puppy who is quickly wagging and nipping her way into our hearts. Last night we elected a new president. It’s bizare to think about, but I wonder which of the two events that happened this week will effect my life more? Of course I know the presidential choice is a much bigger decision than our decision to adopt a puppy. The president of the USA affects the whole world. But that’s not really the question I asked. My question is which will effect me personally more? I really don’t know.
