HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DOMINION IN THE IMAGE OF GOD
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves;
ensure justice for those being crushed.
Prov.31:8, New Living Translation
Prov.31:8, New Living Translation
One year ago today, I made my first post on this blog, wherein I observed, "While there is
virtually no area of human life where we may not say 'all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God' (Rom. 3:23), in perhaps no arena is there greater
ignorance of sin than in our relations with animals, to whom we rarely give a
thought." I explained, "It is my hope that in
learning to fulfill the responsibility given to us at the creation to treat
animals with mercy and compassion on God’s behalf, we can not only make the
world a better place for animals, but we can become more fully human as God
intended us to be, growing into God's image and drawing closer to Him as we
care for what is His." Here is a link to that first post. What Is This Blog All About?
That remains my hope and my prayer. Thanks to all of you who have checked in throughout the past year. I hope you will continue to read these posts and that you will find in them something you can use to help make the world a better place for the other creatures of God with whom we share this planet and in so doing, grow in your own walk of faith.
Meanwhile, don't forget to check out this week's new post, On The Loss Of A Pet, as well.

So glad you're doing this and Happy Birthday! I hope you've gotten as much out of it as those who read it.
Thanks, LTE! It has been an adventure - with lots of learning curves - but one I very much enjoy!
