Constantine, or “Con,” is a little pug with a lot of common sense. Con often helps the others find the truth of God’s Word.
↓ TranscriptCon: Have you been going to the diet classes at church?
Nim: Yep, for about a week.
Con: Well, I can tell it's working.
Nim: REALLY??!!!
Nim: I must look fantastic!!! I knew the diet was working, but I had no idea you'd see such a big difference in so short a time. Look at you, you can't keep your eyes off me! I must really be fabulous!
Con: A little compliment goes a long way with Nim.
Nim: Who's got a camera? Someon needs to get a picture of me...quick!
↓ TranscriptNim: I've been kidding myself, but now I'm serious about my diet.
Nim: I don't want others judging me and thinking I'm just a fatso.
Con: And they shouldn't. Jesus teaches us in the Parable of the Weeds that we shouldn't judge the "Good Seed" from the "Weeds." All judgment should be left to God.
Nim: That might be helpful if I was eating seeds. But what I need is a diet food that doesn't taste like feet!
↓ TranscriptCon: I hear you told Nim food has no calories if eaten in church.
Amos: That's right!
Con: No, that's wrong. Food always has calories.
Amos: Really? Oh, well. No harm, no foul.
Con: Then I guess you haven't seen him?
Amos: Seen who?
Nim: Hi guys, what's shaking?
↓ TranscriptAmos: This diet has me thinking about the forbidden fruit.
Con: Wow! That's a great way to relate your experience to the Bible, Amos. You know, no one knows what fruit it really was. The idea of it being an apple is just legend. Some scholars even say it's a fruit that no longer exists.
Con: What kind of fruit do you think it might have been?
Amos: I'll bet it was chocolate fruit.
↓ TranscriptNim: Have you talked to your Pastor about your fear of thunder?
Con: I just don't think he would understand. He's not afraid of anything. Not rolled-up papers, loud noises, shiny floors, not even thunder.
Nim: Wow.
Nim: He's not just a Pastor, he's more like a Superhero.
Con: Seriously.
↓ TranscriptAbby: Your fear of thunder is irrational, Con.
Con: I know.
Abby: Thunder is just a sonic wave created by the expansion of air surrounding a bolt of lightning.
Con: I know it's irrational, but you of all people should understand. After all, you're afraid of rolled-up newspapers.
Abby: You're not actually comparing a little thunder to "Satan's Baseball Bats," are you?
↓ TranscriptAbby: The 4th of July was great. We watched fireworks from the church lawn.
Con: (SHUDDER)
Abby: I heard about you running and hiding in the church when the fireworks show started.
Con: I thought it was thunder!
Con: You know how I feel about the Godless thunder!
Abby: "Godless" thunder?
↓ TranscriptCon: Paul compared the life of a Christian to a race.
Con: The longer we run, the harder it is.
Con: We grow tired & careless, but Jesus will help each of us win the race.
Abby: Awesome! What kind of shoes should I buy for this race?
↓ TranscriptNim: I've been wondering, Con. Why are pug's noses so flat?
Nim: Is it from chasing cars in the church parking lot?
Nim: HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA...HA...AH...AHEM.
Nim: I guess that would have been a lot funnier if you weren't here.
↓ TranscriptNim: I tried to get some currency exchanged at the bank today, but they wouldn't do it.
Nim: You've been talking about Heaven being a place, so I thought I might need some of the local currency.
Con: You don't need money in Heaven, Nim!
Nim: But I wasn't sure my ATM card would work.
