If you have your Bibles with you, open them to Genesis 1. I I think I’m supposed to get you out of here by 9. >> Don’t Don’t think Don’t think that’s going to happen. But uh >> as you open to Genesis chapter 1, I’ll tell you a story again. We’ve been in in Lusaka for the last seven years and went to help start the African Christian University and and a story that just sort of brought home to me what that was all about and what it was going to be about occurred not long after we had been there.
We’ve been there, I guess, about a year and and we we got a dog and we we got a borble. Now, for those of you who don’t know, uh borbles um were were one of two southern African breeds that were bred to hunt lions. And um the borbals, the the Dutch Southern African farmers were called boores. The borble is the boar’s dog.
And uh the so the borbless would protect the farm and protect cattle against lions. Um they’re big dogs. They’re they’re they’re South African mastiffs and and they’re and and they are they’re they’re just really big fierce dogs who ain’t scared of nothing. They’ll defend you against man or beast and your kids can ride them and they won’t mess with the kids long as your kid’s not a lion.
Um just wonderful dogs. And so uh our our borble that we had then he was a puppy and and um his name is Adakus Finch. >> [laughter] >> So I I was I was training Attekus and we’d gotten to the point in this training where we needed sort of increased distractions. So we lived across the street from this this restaurant that had a big field out in front of it and there’s a roundabout and cars riding by all the time.
