well I just read an article  ( also can watch on animal planet's whale wars) about the Japanese who slaughter  " protected whales" and they lie  to cover up their greed by saying it is for "scientific research."..what a load of lies. They who fight to save the whales took a photo of these slaughter boats hauling a whale they had harpooned and also her calf... how heartless and greedy these Japs are , with this going on killing the calves too, they will be forever gone much sooner from our  seas, did you know how God thinks about such cruelty about killing the baby and the mother  at the same time? Yeah it is in the Bible...look      Deuteronomy 22:6    "  If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, [whether they be] young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:Deuteronomy 22:7 [But] thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and [that] thou mayest prolong [thy] days.         now knowing God He means what He says , and says what He means, so I am sure this would apply to the whalers slaughtering the mother with  her calf- it is wrong in God's eyes to do such a thing. we need to stop the japs from whaling once and for ever! the whales were never created to be our food! Have you ever seen some of the  things Japanese  will eat? It's unnecessary and so gross. Live baby octopuss, scorpions, other stuff that would make a normal person vomit, even a billy goat would  puke at !So please write to your Congress person and / or your Senator and ask them to support banning Japan products and imports till they stop killing whales. Save a whale and her calf, you will be glad you did, and you will also help Americans keep their jobs here in America. thank you. .

The Things Time Takes

Time... it is ever present. That old saying " we are promised only the moment' when studied closely in these terms, it carries alot of weight of truth... and a warning... time has a meaning which is several : A period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something; The continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past; it is also a verb...we put our lives and events on a clock called time and calendar, yet the saying goes " time waits for no man"? its an odd thing ..time is... a man in prison , all he has is time...to reflect.. to mend his ways..repent...to wait to die?

as I write this my heart is heavy, and I am missing loved ones some who have died and some who are just away.................

it seems only in the distant past I had a family. A dad, a mother who I adored, brothers who were altogether a torment, a joy, and a friend, sisters who I loved and looked up to... oh yes we had our fights and arguments and jealousies...esp when the older sister had more rights than we did. but I loved them ...they were mine for a time...There were three brothers and three sisters, however mother lost a new born baby boy before jerry was born, then she lost a set of twins before me & my twin were born. time can come and take by force the things we don't want to give up. my mom loved having her babies...time stole some of her joy and loves. How cruel the time was to her at the point to take away her babies before she got to know them...but she knows them now in heaven...for time came and took my mother...time has come and gone so quickly ...it has changed the course of my world and brought me to my knees in tears so often...it has come and stole away the loves of my heart and my dearest treasures which are these ; my brother Jerry on Christmas day Dec. 25 1981 @3am- has it really been 27 years? Time...time...at one moment it can stop your world due to a tragic event you didn't expect, or it can slip away quietly without a whisper and you only realize it when you exclaim " oh where has the time gone...?" then the hardest sorrow time would bring swift and without mercy  in September of 1996 it would bring death  so severe and heart wrenching as my 2 Rotties Megan at 12 years and her son  Stony  at 8 years old would die 12 days apart.. it took my dad almost without warning in August 20 of 1998, then my brother Ernie in January 16 2000 ( ironic it was on my mother's birthday ). it has taken and seperated me & my son who still has not returned , more heartache is mine as I silently suffer ; by the year 2005 my beloved Rottie Mejara would time steal away from me in one day, then time would grant me sorrow , guilt and a wrenching heartache of loosing her, only at one point time seemed to stand still... then in Nov. 2007, death would once again in a moment of time steal my last Rottie from me... my beloved Montana would also be taken in a matter of time...sorrow of heart makes time slow down...and lengthens the agony of heartache. how fleeting time can be... it seems to only stand still in a moment of crisis or when held like a glass bubble called memories.I have alot of memories...some funny, some sad, some bad, some that bring a smile to my face, or cause me to burst out with laughter , some that can break my heart all over again. yet I wouldn't trade one memory for gold or to ease the pain, for those memories mark my days and time here on this earth with those whom I have loved, cherished, or learned from. Time comes to give ..." seize the moment for tomorrow may be to late". it comes to give us memories to keep us in hope and some comfort for the time it will come to take away and bring to an end a precious moment., even the Bible speaks of time in Ecclsiastes chapter 3 : 1-8. time brings events and allows them to happen in our lives whether good or sorrowful, a purpose for events to makes us grow, to makes us humble,to give us a second chance, but I think mostly to make us thankful. for life is too short...I have lost so many dear to my heart, and yes my beloved dogs count( all seven of them.), but my family ,I realize is much smaller than when I first remember. time has come through death and taken my loved ones and now as I stand on the thresh hold of a new time, I miss what I once had.... a family and the faithful companions in four footed family members as well. yes it makes me sad... as 2008 comes to a close , I reflect on times past, and give God thanks for the love, joys, and memories that time has left to me, and look ahead wondering what will time bring to me in the new year to come in 2009...one thing of comfort -God is ever Present in every day and event and time. I can face each day with hope knowing I am not alone. God said " behold I am with you always even to the end of ..."time, world, age.." Matthew 28:20".

My mother went home to be with God her Creator and Saviour Jesus  , October 27, 2008 on a Monday evening. She is a great mother , a woman of faith, love and laughter. I have written a poem to honour her and share the evening she went home. I hope you all who read it will get a blessing , a joy, an uplift to your soul, or perhaps find Jesus who blessed me with such a mother and His peace- for the sorrow of her departure couldn't shatter the Peace God gave me. Of cource I miss her- I am human..but oh one day , one fine day , that Day will come when at last we meet again face to face.....

The Lord God walking in the cool of the day…Genesis 3:8

      God Came Walking

In the cool of the day, God was heard
He came walking as the gentle shepherd
And as He  was walking , He was calling your name..
In His still small voice , He whispers " Katie... Katie...
Then he stopped ,and bending low  stood by your frail frame
Yeah He came to you in the evening light
When all is quite and the time is right…
your breath was softly and quickly fading , as He took you by the hand
And thus He spoke “ Katie, come with me to Beulah's  Land”
“ your race is finished and you have won..
the greatest prize my child…heaven and my Son “
And so He took  you silently  from your sleep
to soon the dawn would  gently come and it would be our time to weep
Our loss would become heavens gain
But a Mother’s love never dies…it will always remain
Kept safely , still beating , forever to stand
Living and breathing  in Beulah’s Land
And as I  walked , I look to the clouds so fair
I felt you , Mother watching me from there
As the soft wind blew  and kissed my face
I knew at last you had finished your race
And as you went to walk with Him,
I felt His love, His Peace, His grace
you were safely home  at last..
as you bowed to Him then kissed His face
Your faith has now been turned to sight
Forever now to dwell in  His Eternal Light.

When one kisses the King, the Master, or the Lord is it is a sign of obedience, homage, respect, loyality, and a recongnition that He is the Lord and you His loving servant. It is a custom and an honourable greeting to your host.

Fare thee well my Mother... soon our mourning will be turned  into dancing; He will give beauty for ashes ; life for death;sorrow endureth for a night but joy cometh in the morning... I look forward to our meeting mom. till then ....

It is not by merit, nor because I am good, or perfect, or beautiful, or well educated, nor is it because I come from a chosen race, nor because my family is well known, nor because I have done great works... I could go on and on, but I will let you read why sent to me by email by a christian sister.

Christians  

 by Maya  Angelou  

 

 

 'A woman's  heart should be so hidden in Christ  

 

 that a man  should have to seek Him first to find her.'  

 

 When I say...  'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''  

 

 I'm whispering 'I was lost,  Now I'm found and forgiven.'  

 

 When I say...  'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.  

 

 I'm confessing that I  stumble and need Christ to be my guide.  

 

 When I say...  'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.  

 

 I'm professing that I'm  weak and need His strength to carry on.  

 

 When I say...  'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.  

 

 I'm admitting I have failed  and need God to clean my mess.  

 

 When I say...  'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,  

 

 My  flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.  

 

  When I say...  'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain..  

 

 I have my share of  heartaches, so I call upon His name.  

 

 When I say...  'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,  

 

 I'm just a  simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!  

 

  Pretty is as  Pretty does... but beautiful is just plain beautiful! 

no I am not a christian because it is an easy life....it is just the opposit, I chose to believe Jesus AND ACCEPT His SACRIFICE FOR MY HORRIABLE SINS. I LIVE BECAUSE He DIED FOR ME and rose to give me an eternal life with Him and I could not find God without Him. I write many bloggs on this web site, sometimes not well said- but I am passionet about God, right and wrong,  honouring life, and the views that I find need attention, I do not write to offend anyone- but to get people to stop and think and do the right thing. Even I still need to stop and listen to God's voice to do the right thing.I am a sinner who needs God's salvation and forgiveness- just like anyone else does, accepting Jesus and His way does not make me perfect- but God can make me useful. as long as we are in this fleshley body we will struggle with temptation , weakness and failure, but our hope is in God who forgives when we confess our sins and failures one day , one glorious day when He calls me home I will forever be delivered from sin . I am a work in progress I am not yet  His finished project

"For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth
to all generations". Psalms 100:5


It is an aweful truth children suffer horriable acts by mankind, whether verbal, physical, mental or sexual abuse- and we as caring adults need to write to Congress urging them for tougher laws without loop holes to protect children form such evil acts and injury. more severe punishments and prison time for those who are guilty of harming a child. get involved and save a child- write to your elected officials to create real laws that really protect children. I still believe without prejudice that a man found guilty of sexually abusing a child should be casterated and a life sentence in prison. He should get the same mercy he forced upon his victim.

Entertainment :  amusement ; recreation ; diversion ; beguilement ; distraction ; extravaganza ;show........ now that we see the meaning of this very popular event and how Americans , and the world love their  " entertainments" even at the high cost of those who are forced to do the entertaning when  1. it is not their will or nature to do some of the cheap stunts that are painful and dangerous to them. 2. they are mistreated and even beaten when they do not perform the trick as the ring master wants. Yes I am talking about the Circus ! It is time for that type of ' cruel entertainment " to be banned and forever  annuled.

Cheap Tricks  :    Can you hear their voices weeping – painfully , mournfully crying out " come save me from this sorrowful torrment. my captors beat me, suffer me to live without proper care, food , shelter. When they get angry they hit me, unmerciful they are. They leave me hurt , wounded chained all alone. I am so sad. so frightened. I need some one to come and rescue me from this torrment and awful painful living conditions- if you call this living. My living quarters are dirty, cramped, cold. They take my babies away from me. I don’t know where they are. I miss them. I don’t feel well. I don’t want to play with the ball anymore, or stand on my head, its so uncomfortable, or sit up at the ring master’s command and whip. I just want to go somewhere quite and peaceful with my baby and my own kind. And be free. Would you be so kind as to help me and others like me forced to live this horriable way of life, to find a way to escape this lonely , cruel life? To be and live as my Creator meant for me and others like me. Please hear my weeping and come to my rescue".

please don't support the circus. if you doubt how cruely the animals are treated- hang around quitely after the show , and watch. would you want to live the way they are forced to live and travel  !?  And remember the meanings of entertainment > diversion ; beguilement ; distraction . These words desribe it so true to form. please write to your Senator and Congressperson, or your State Representive and tell them the circus tops must come down once and forever. Its not entertainment  - it is torture for the animals.  It is not kind to them, nor just, nor right. If you think its okay- well then put yourself in their cage after the show, or your foot in chains after the show, or ride in a box car  with no ventilation  , literally for hours with no way to rest or change positions or stretch your stiff aching muscles for being in the same position literally for hours till you get to the next town to set up for another entertainment show- then finally you get to get out of the dirty poopie , urine waste  box car you were forced to  stand in hours upon hours, no freah air, no fresh water or food. yeah - go ahead you live like that- then do your cheap tricks to distract me from seeing your misery..

As many of you know I am an " animal lover" all kinds and every kind God made. Well they have a very short and hard life here on this planet we share with them...and truthfully their hardships exists because of mankind. Well there are cruel acts being done  " illegally " to dogs in the Philippines, they are herding them like cattle, even so far as stealing family pets , and butchering them for meat in resturants and meat markets. these dogs suffer cruel acts , even before slaughter. They need your voice to save them. Please read this article from HSI >

One year ago, I wrote to tell you about the horrific dog meat trade in the Philippines. Our investigators had just seized a shipment of 100 dogs packed tightly into the back of a truck, bound for slaughter. These were just a few of the thousands of victims claimed by this cruel industry every year.

In the months that have passed, we’ve made progress in our campaign to stop the dog meat trade. But our work is far from done. Some officials continue to look the other way. That’s why I’m writing you today, to urge you to tell local officials in dog-eating districts to enforce the ban on dog meat and close down vendors and restaurants still selling this illegal, cruel product.

The large majority of Filipinos do not condone the consumption of dog meat. While some bill it as a "cultural practice," the commercial trade is anything but. Although the trade was banned by law in 1998, it was still active in certain regions of the country due to lenient fines and light penalties.

Just last year, local organizations successfully lobbied to strengthen laws against it, and now we are working with them to ensure these tough new penalties are enforced. We are continuing the fight to end the dog meat trade. But we need your help again.

Baguio City is renowned as a tourist haven, but it also serves as a center for the trade and many restaurants and street vendors continue to sell dog meat. Please send an email to the Mayor of Baguio City and urge him to enforce the laws of the land and shut down these illegal dog meat peddlers.

The dogs used in the trade are rounded up in the streets, stolen, or even bought from their unknowing owners for a paltry sum. These animals depend on humans to care for them, but dog meat traders betray their trust -- all for a few more dollars.

Together we can take a stand for dogs and fight cruelty in all its forms. Please take action today.

Thank you for all that you do to help animals.

Sincerely,

Andrew Rowan
Chief Executive Officer
Humane Society International

P.S. To help further, please tell your friends and family about this important issue

please sign the petition or even better yet write your own letter. but before you judge me , condmen me, or say alot of other countries eat dogs. Stop and look at what dogs do FOR the well being of mankind- we have the rescue dog in avalanches, and disasters, we have police dogs, seeing eye dogs for the blind ,  drug-sniffing dogs, cancer- detecting dogs, show dogs, herding dogs, specially trained companion dogs to help the elderly and handicap, they are our   four legged family members, and how many times in the news do we hear how a dog saved another life- usually their human friend? They warn us of danger, stand beside us no matter what danger comes-  they love to be with us, play with us,  get lonely when we are gone,  always happy to see us when we come home, help us hunt game, defend us against harm or attack from others ,  they are faithful companions and deserve better than this.  and they have intellegence!  God didn't creat the dog to be dinner for the gluttony of man! Please - these dogs need your voice and your care. thank you.

 I read this as it was sent to me and thought it very true and educating - a lesson needed by humans from a dog's point of view. please read it  with your heart.

Letter from a Dog – “How Could You?” By: Jim Willis

  When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was "bad," you'd shake your finger at me and ask, "How could you?" -- but then you'd relent and roll me over for a belly rub.

My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.

  We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs" you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Gradually, you began spending more time20at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love.

She, now your wife, is not a "dog person" -- still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate.

Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a "prisoner of love.." As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch -- because your touch was now so infrequent -- and I would've defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway.

There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf. Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family.

I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. T hey understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers." You had to pry your son's fingers loose from my collar, as he screamed, "No, Daddy! Please don't let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life.

You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash with you. You had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too. After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home. They shook their heads and asked, "How could you?"

They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allo w. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you that you had changed your mind -- that this was all a bad dream... or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me. When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited.

I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room. A blissfully quiet room. She placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. The prisoner of love had run out of days. As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood. She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured, "How could you?"

Perhaps because she understood my dog speak, she said, "I'm so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself -- a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place. And with my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her.

It was directed at you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of you. I will think of you and wait for you forever. May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty.


A Note from the Author:

If "How Could You?" brought tears to your eyes as You read it, as it did to mine as I wrote it, it is because it is the composite story of the millions of formerly "owned" pets who die each year in American & Canadian animal shelters.
 

Well I am sure everyone has seen the photo of the  Governor   of  Alaska Palin posing with a dead Caribou she shot and killed. As she admitts she is a hunter.  What challenge is there in having a high powered weapon with a scope and shoot to kill an unsuspecting   and harmless animal  ? A mother of 5 kids  and she has time to go out and kill the " bacon" gut it, dress it and haul it home and then prepare dinner too.  Whose minding the kids?   Is this when her daughter got pregnant?    Children need watching over or they will soon get into " mischief "  and trouble .  And where is hubby /daddy during her hunting  episodes?   Does she slaughter with her high powered rifle with its on-target scope  the unsuspecting wolves from the safety of the helicopter too?  What is she trying to proove here- that she can be as rutheless and heartless as any man?  Why is a mother of 5 kids out killing animals with higher powered weapons anyway? Isn't she suppose to be Governing a State ? Where does she find the time to accomplish all she is in charge of  ? The rape crimes of  Alaska are way too high and the rape victims must buy their own rape crime kit!  Where is the government at to protect and help these women and do just ice for them? Oh their out in the tundra hunting wolves and caribou  !!!  Slaugherting defenciless , unsuspecting wild animals who haven't a chance against high powered weapons, scopes, and helicopters. And on top of that Palin won't even help the animals she kills by banning aireal hunting. She's rutheless and cold- hearted and she wants to lead this counrty!!   She mentioned war with Russia if they continue to attack Georgia- well if she is prepared to lead this counrty put her in military uniform with her high powered rifle and scope and send her to Georgia where she can for once meet other  Government officials from other countries. Certaintly she has had plenty of practise in killing , she can shoot to kill a Russian  !       And when she was " posing" with that poor dead caribou she slaughtered , I wander where her 17 year old daughter was & what was she doing with her boyfriend??  the Bible says they that can not govern their own home how can they govern an office , a State, a Country?   For a women in her position, is so sad how she has neglected the really important issues- her children. look at what she is teaching them about saving our country , our wildlife , our environment. It is vividely seen she does not regard life that she allows to continue the cruel practice of airel hunting of wolves and putting them in dire danger of extinction!  And when a person who considers themselve a worthy hunter poses with the poor dead creature how stupid they look ! In one airel hunting of wolves 4 adult wolves were shot  and killed , as they landed they shot to kill the wounded ones, then found the 2 dens with young pups , not even 6 weeks old and shot the pups one by one in the heads.! I can't stand palin or her unworthy govening tactics. She needs to learn to be a " stay-at-home mom".

This came to me via e-mail. I think highly of Paul Harvey. But oh how we need men and women TODAY  like this man of prayer- please read this   this really happened.

oh I am in love for the first time!
               

Are You Ready

The Lord is coming soon, are you ready

are you strong, your faith steady

is your light bright or is it dim

are you living your best for Him?

what kind of witness do you give

is there a testimony by the way you live?

how many souls for God's kingdom have you won?

to bless and exalt God's beloved Son?

is your witness strong and straight

will it be able to get you through the Pearly Gate?

or is it full of doubt and made weak

has Satan lied and stole from you that which we are to seek?

have you given God your best

and kept the faith through so many a weary test?

have you spread abroad His wonderful name

or have you walked backward in fear and shame?

has all on the altar been laid

are you determined , your mind made?

are you ready for the Lord?

when He comes will He find His church in one accord?

will He find you watching and in earnest prayer

or find you sleeping in a blanket of despair ?

are you ready for that heavenly shore....

ready to meet face to face your God and Creator?

The Lord is returning, trust and obey

keep in prayer and faith, turn to Him without delay

be faithful, prayerful, content and sincere

for the Day of our redemption is drawing ever so near.

Hebrews 11:6

Ephesians 4:5

I Timothey 6:12

2 Timothey 4: 7

Well did ya all hear about the 15 year old who smashed to death a momma cat with chunks of road debris, over and over he smashed the heavy rocks into her fragile helpless body. The momma cat did nothing wrong, did nothing to deserve this sad, anguish death, leaving her very young needy kittens orphans. Why did he do it? That is not even a good question, a proper question, for would there be an acceptable answer? Absolutely no! There is no excuse for such savage cruelty. Here comes another monster on the loose- more animal killings- then when he gets bored with that he'll move on to humans- maybe someone's baby, their toddler....it grows with him as he grows- and then we have a full fledged serial killer who has no concience, no fear, no respect for life- ANY LIFE. they want to " help him", mend his self esteem, fix his emotional anger" how? well they came up with a real "weiner of a brain storm " - make him work in an animal shelter so he will learn to love and appreciate animals! Oh like that's gonna work !  Are these people MORONS? good people can not fix broken down evil people. Only Jesus can do that and only when the evil person personally wants it and asks Jesus to forgive him...." I am sure these people have good intentions and  want to help this monster-teen, so he doesn't become a serial killer, but I don't believe this poor momma cat is his 1st victim...I once read that a child by age 5 is pretty much developed emotionally ,mentally , and  their personality . If this is true, this animal slayer is well past that point and beyond man's help - no matter how good their intentions are. This  hateful teen has some real dangerous issues deep down- Jesus is this kids only hope, and the only hope of the lives that he will come into contact with. Should he be " mending his ways & paying his dept" by working with other helpless animals in cages in a shelter- for mercy's sake -NO-get him away from animals and small children and keep him away from them. In 3 years he will be 18, what is the legal age to buy a gun? He can go into the U S Armed forces and learn other ways to kill...this kid needs help no doubt about it- but the right kind of help and the right environment- an animal shelter is NOT the right help or environment to " fix" this teen who is well on his way of rising to become another monster -slayer of lives, animal or human! This is where we need tough laws with true help , compassion, guidence and God. There is no other way to fix the evil that is so taken over the hearts & souls of mankind- only God their creator has the healing powers and the " fix" that mankind  so desperatly needs. Politicians, Priests,Schools, physcians, child Developement Centers, prisons, Counselors are all helpless to change the evil in this teen or others like him- if they could - do you think our prisons would be so overflowing as they are? Our ways and systems fall very very short- they fail. we are helpless to changing evil people into good people. So please don't put this rising monster to work with animals and put these precious animals in harms way! that would be just STUPID!!!

well I didn't write this ...but I believe in it. I love animals and do all I can to help them to have a better life here with us on this planet.  I write many letters to my Congresswoman, and my Senator on the behalf of animlas to end their abuses by passing laws to protect them. So, all you who have pets, or visit a zoo, or see your neighbors pet or live stock being neglected, or abused, or in need of shade, a drink of water, or medical help, do a kind act on their behalf, help them...perhaps reading this " animal plea" will give you quidence to offer your assistance and care. Animals are truly a gift from our Creator to be companions and friends to us- they were never created to be our food and menu items ( Genensis 1:29-30). So open up your heart and read and keep this animal plea in your concience and hearts, thank you.

Remember that they can't do a lot of things for themselves and that
they depend on you to make their life a quality life!

The Hunter...cold,  heartless. seeking its own selfish desires. To snuff out the breath of God in whatever life form it can ravage and prey upon. Who is this Hunter you are probably wondering... it is also known as "death". It something we all at one time will be confronted with, whether human , animal, plant life.   Ecclesiastes 3: 19   "  For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity.       We all fear it, even the animals when they sense it , they flee from it, they fear it as we do. Why? Because it is unnatural to die, we were never created to go through death. Genesis chapters 1, 2,& 3 tell the sad truth of how this came to be. It is clear it was not part of the creation plan. Just look how we try to " stop " death from taking us. We have 24/7 emergency rooms full of doctors and nurses to stop us from dieing, even so for animals...I work at a Veterinary Hospital, we even try to save them from being taken by this cold -heartless breath snatcher. We learn CPR, we try eating healthier, we excersice to keep fit and healthy, we explore new methods of healings and surgeries ....all to post pone death. Yet the Hunter of souls comes ...sometimes without warning, many times without mercy, snatching the very Breath of the Creator from those God created. Animals too have the breath of God even as we do, the only difference is we are made in God's image, the animals are not, but He created them and gave them life as He did you and me. By now you may be wondering why am I writing this. I hate death, its cold hand feels out the warm body so full of life and snuffs out the sweet life once filling that body, whether human or animal. We all want to live and stay alive- even the creatures who share this world and life with us. Today three different families came to the Veterinary Hospital, each one with their beloved pet being gripped by this callouse Hunter of souls. The first family so sorrowfully weeping knowing what was to come and can not do more to stop death from taking their beloved family member, I too began to weep for them and with them. The second family came in -an emergency- their beloved pet was suddenly having convolsions, the doctors could not save her, her name was Sugar, as I watched the couple , the husband took his wife in his arms to console her, only to break down and weep with her-his big shoulders heaving with the grip of sorrow and loss, I also got teary eyed- I know their pain,but as I watched them -I saw love- Sugar was loved- how comforting to me that was- LOVE. the third couple came in with a dieing Rottweiler- my kind of dog- I once had four of my own- my heart broke. she was very sick , how my heart ached- for the suffering Rottie, the young couple, and for  my  own loss - Montana died and left me last November 1 2007- I still grieve - missing them all .  the young couple had waited to long- not realizing they jeaporized her chances. Death, the Hunter, respects no one.       Yet  God is merciful.   The Hunter has companions- cold, heartless, ruthless humans- those who take life that isn't theirs to take, those who show no mercy to the weaker ones, animals included here. Some one without a heart or conscience set aside on a raod a box of new puppies and just left them their to suffer and die! Left them without a concern or care- what a SOB, a monster, how could you? you cheap sob- if you don't want puppies , 1) have your adult dog spayed or nuetered, 2) don't have a pet, 3) have some backbone you coward and take responsiabilty for the lives you helped getting here! those puppies had no chance- all they wanted was their mommie- and you put them in harms way with out a care or a backward glance! Well God sent  them a saviour- someone found them and took them to a shelter- the one thing you could have done likewise you lazy good for nothing coward! I wonder , when the Hunter comes seeking you will you find mercy or a snarling death grip?  He that shows mercy begets mercy, he that shows compassion begets compassion, Psalm 24:1, and Psalm 50:10-11 just to mention these 2  - those puppies belong to God - entrusted to you for their safety and well being- you denied them that- and God will require of you what kind of steward you were for His puppies. You are RESPONSIBLE whether you want to be or not. One cannot just put life in a box, put it on a road side and wash their hands of it and just walk away - kind a like what Pilot tried to do when He ordered the death by crucifixion of God our Saviour Jesus the Christ- he was responsiable.- washing his hands with water, or brushing the dust off your hands does not wash away your responsibility of the act you helped bring into happening. life - all life is a gift from God- and should be cherished , and loved.  How many times over and over do we hear stories how a pet, an animal saved someone's life- why? what would make an animal put its own life at risk to save a person? her babies? her companion? Something we all need to think about.  And look at life through the eyes and heart of  God our creator. respect life , cherish it, for death is unnatural to all of us , we all fear it- try to escape it- have a heart of compassion on all God's creatures after all none of us are promised tomorrow.
