My church's name is Miles Memorial United Methodist, which is located in Norfolk, Virginia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories began in 2009 when I became the finance chair at my church. I found that while walking my dog, Buddy, I began having many thoughts about my surroundings, and many seemed to pertain to being finance chair as well as the church. With Buddy by my side, I had many interesting reflections, but I wasn't always sure where they were coming from, as I had never been a very religious person, so I decided the ideas were coming from Buddy himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI adopted Buddy on September 11, 2008, and I can honestly say he has really changed my life; he has a heart of gold  Nobody has ever been a stranger to Buddy, this being especially true for when my mother was in the hospital as well as the assisted living facility. The love Buddy had for my mother was the same love she had for him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy mother was my inspiration in turning my little stories into a book to honor her. I am using my book, \u003cem\u003eWalks with Buddy (and Reflections on Christ and Church)\u003c\/em\u003e, not only as a fund-raiser for my church but also as a way for everyone to get to know Buddy and maybe be drawn closer to Christ and their own church as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Faith Publishing, Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642586275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Frank Gray Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41071713091765,"sku":"9781642586275","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_85d32c24-bfe9-4736-9a05-d8324b05a350.jpg?v=1632232527","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/walks-with-buddy-and-reflections-on-christ-and-church-9781642586275","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
