Wild hogs

It was a touch before dusk as I headed down Highway 18 a few days ago. In the slalom between Chandler and the Deep Fork River, I saw a large black animal in the right of way on the east side of the road. It had its head down, as if eating, but looked up when it heard my minivan. Dang.

Kingdom of Heaven

The Lord said over 3,000 years ago that man burns their children with idolatry. We cannot put anything before Him. I think we really need to stop and think about this. We are supposed to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Do we worship things made with the hands, or do we put God first.
