The Wonders of Having a Pet

There are about 50 million dogs, 50 million cats and countless cage birds in the country.
I have to start by saying that a pet is not a toy, but a living creature like us and animals also have their own special role in creation just as we do.
Whenever we decide to get a pet we must realize that we are also assuming the responsibility to care for him, to provide a humane place to live, a balanced nutrition and the necessary medical care.

All puppies and kittens are cute and cuddly but that should not be the basis for our decision to acquire them as we may be very disappointed about their looks and behavior when they grow up.

There are several breeds of cats and a number of breeds of dogs to choose from, these are grouped according to their traits and abilities, such as hunters, retrievers, pointers, shepherds, sheep dogs, cattle dogs, guardian dogs, working dogs and others.

Generally speaking the smartest breed is the Border Collie and at the end comes the Bassett Hounds and the Basenji.

Some good reasons to have a dog:
1. They can be the perfect exercising machine.
2. For companionship
* A faithful and reliable friend
* Their presence and contact with us tend to reduce high blood pressure.
* Treat depression
* Induces us to open up and make friends.
* Help children develop.
* Protection
* Guide for the disabled
* Rescue
* Detection
* In some countries people believe that Chihuahuas cure asthma.

If you have a pet you should learn First Aid and should have a First Aid kit for your pet.

Because dogs are so reliable and faithful, they are also known as Angels with four legs.

I will close with the saying: The more I know people, the more I love my dog.

LOOKING FOR CHRISTIAN HEROES

For evil to flourish, all that is needed is for good people to do nothing.--Edmund Burke

The spiritual battle for the mind of man is on now.

Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?

Are you living as a proud Christian or are you afraid to be known as one?

Are you a promise-keeper to God?

The present world situation demands Christian heroes, shielded with the full armour of God and empowered by our LORD's wisdom, discernment and common sense.

I have set the LORD always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8

Strong is our LORD and powerful the force of His mighty arm. You shall never need fear any power of earth or heaven for naught can shake you from His unbreakable grasp. His hands of power and might are hands of safety and protection for His own --and hands of wrath and destruction for His enemies. Rejoice, O believer, that you are His child!

EN BUSCA DE HEROES CRISTIANOS

Para que el mal floresca, lo único que se necesita es que la gente buena no haga nada.--Edmund Burke

La batalla espiritual por la mente del hombre está peleándose actualmente.

¿Es usted parte del problema o parte de la solución?

¿Vive usted como un cristiano orgulloso de serlo o vive con temor que los inconversos lo descubran?

¿Sostiene usted las promesas que le ha hecho a Dios?

La situación mundial presente demanda "Heroes Cristianos" protegidos con la armadura completa de Dios y con el ímpetu, sabiduria, discernimiento e inteligencia que nos otorga Su Espíritu Santo.

A Jehova he puesto siempre delante de mi; porque está a mi diestra no seré conmovido. Salmo 16, 8

Fuerte es El Señor y poderosa la fuerza de su brazo. Nunca temas las fuerzas de la tierra o de los cielos; porque nunca podrán zafarte de Su inquebrantable agarre.
La fuerza y poder de Sus manos son manos de seguridad y protección para los suyos, y de ira y destrucción para sus enemigos.
Rogocíjate O creyente, que tu eres su hijo.

Jesuscristo es El Camino

Even though the first amendment of the Constitution does not exactly say so, there is the notion that there should be a separation of Church and State and to some degree I go along with it, but there should NEVER be a separation of Jehovah God and the Civil Government. As our Creator Jehovah God is concerned and interested in everything and every aspect of His Awesome Creation, and that includes you and me as well as everybody else.
God creates men. And men as His heirs, disciples and stewards are to exercise dominion in discipling all nations through Self government, Family government, Church government and Civil government. Each of these spheres of government has its own responsibilities and without overwhelming those of the others they all contribute to the perfect end result of prosperity, fulfillment and happiness.
If as Stewards we retreat and confine ourselves into our own little ghettos, safe havens and our Church buildings or we fear to be identified as practicing Christians, we leave a huge vacuum that will never remain empty, but rapidly will be filled by the forces of evil, with a sure end result of sin, injustice, spiritual and material misery and death.

What could be better than to have godly men and women governing themselves, the family, the church and the civil government.

The Church makes men: men make the law.

It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of God Almightly, obey His Will, be grateful for all His Blessings and humbly implore His Protection and Favor.

Es responsabilidad de todas las naciones reconocer la Providencia de Dios Todopoderoso, obedecer su Voluntad, dar gracias por todas sus Bendiciones y humildemente implorar Su Protección y Favor.

George Washington.
Thanksgiving Day Proclamation, October 3, 1789

WISDOM.

The greatest glory of the American Revolution was to connect in an insoluble bond the principles of Christianity with the principles of Civil Government.
