Rest In Peace Scotty

 From a kitten to dying peacefully, Scotty lived here his entire life and died this morning at 14.

He was a good boy, loved by his family and gave back more love than he needed.

My 2,800th post is in honor of Scotty. Rest in Peace Scotty.

Do pets go to Heaven?

There is a wonderful sermon by Derek Thomas from the Ligonier conference in which he addresses this.

One of the best I’ve heard and has so much love and grace in this sermon.

First Nine Weeks

 I'm on fall break. Last week was the end of the first nine weeks and we had our first parent-teacher conferences. I had a handful of people, mostly the kids that have parents that are involved in their kids' lives. I was told I'd rarely get to see a kid that needs it. 

So last weekend the world woke up on the doorstep of World War 3 as Hamas decided to attack Israel. It's a mess over there. A lot of YouTube channels are going full-blown PreTrib Millenial out there. All kinds of Bible prophecies are quoted. It's crazy. 

I'm not dogmatic about it. I tend to believe in a Partial Preterist view that says most of the prophecies in scripture were talking about the end of an age that was punctuated by the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by the Romans. 

Who knows what will happen but it's scary. We've got two carrier groups over there now, rumors about Iran and if they will or won't enter the conflict. Give the Dimocrats the reigns and boom! Wars, rumors of wars, destruction, inflation, and the elites prosper as they drive our country into financing one war and threatening another. 

They won't be happy until they've wrecked every vestige of a once great country.
