Prayer Animals

Spurred to move by a housing crisis in Los Angeles, Steven, Lila, and their eight dogs - then 10, then 20, and then they lost count - bought a postage-stamp-size farm in Chimayo, New Mexico....

In Job 12"7-10 we are instructed to look to the beasts and learn from them. During my time living in Yellowstone National Park I had the opportunity to see and observe the way animals live and interact in the park. Each creature, created by a loving God, can point us to ways that we can understand our own relationship with God, through Jesus Christ. Read along and think about how each creature was given specific characteristics to live and thrive in a wild and broken world. Perhaps it will encourage you in your faith. God bless.

In modern Hindu societies, practices like nonviolence, cow protection, vegetarianism, and giving food to God are quite prevalent. These are vital to the Hindu worldview and are connected to one another. Intriguingly, Hindu vegetarianism has certain philosophical roots. After all, if the soul travels through many species of life and we are not our physical bodies and animals are not theirs, then who is to argue that a slain animal is not a past loved one or a relative? Or that a human who consumes animal byproducts won't pass through the afterlife as a sacrificial creature? Consequently, ...
