What is your game plan in 2024<br />
2024 two months in the books and still time<br />
to get your life on the right path.<br />
March has arrived, Spring Training Games are<br />
being played as we speak. Cactus League in<br />
Arizona and the Grapefruit League in Florida.<br />
The first day of Spring is March 19th just a few<br />
days after St Patrick’s day which falls on<br />
Sunday March 17th 2024. Church and Beer day<br />
for some! “Who was St. Patrick? St. Patrick,<br />
the patron saint of Ireland, is one of<br />
Christianity’s most widely known figures. But<br />
for all of his prevalence in culture—namely the<br />
holiday held on the day of his death that bears<br />
his name his life remains somewhat of a mystery.<br />
Many of the stories traditionally associated with<br />
St. Patrick, including the famous account of his<br />
banishing all the snakes from Ireland, are false,<br />
the products of hundreds of years of exaggerated<br />
storytelling. St Patrick wasn’t Irish. St. Patrick<br />
was born in Great Britain—not Ireland—to<br />
wealthy parents near the end of the fourth<br />
century. He is believed to have died on March<br />
17, around 460 A.D.<br />
Although his father was a Christian deacon, it<br />
has been suggested that he probably took on<br />
the role because of tax incentives and there is no<br />
evidence that Patrick came from a particularly<br />
religious family. At the age of 16, Patrick was<br />
taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders who<br />
were attacking his family’s estate. They<br />
transported him to Ireland where he spent six<br />
years in captivity. (There is some dispute over<br />
where this captivity took place. Although many<br />
believe he was taken to live in Mount Slemish<br />
in County Antrim, it is more likely that he was<br />
held in County Mayo near Killala.<br />
John 3:16<br />
For God so loved the world that he gave his<br />
one and only Son, that whoever believes in<br />
him shall not perish but have eternal life.<br />
During this time, he worked as a shepherd,<br />
outdoors and away from people. Lonely and<br />
afraid, he turned to his religion for solace,<br />
becoming a devout Christian. (It is also<br />
believed that Patrick first began to dream of<br />
converting the Irish people to Christianity<br />
during his captivity.” - history.com<br />
More St Patrick<br />
“Another legend, probably the most<br />
popular, is that of the shamrock, which has<br />
him explain the concept of the Holy Trinity,<br />
three persons in one God, to an unbeliever<br />
by showing the example of the three-leaved<br />
plant with one stalk. Traditionally, the Irish<br />
have worn shamrocks, the national flower of<br />
Ireland, in their lapels on St. Patrick’s Day,<br />
March 17.” - Britannica<br />

Do Animals Go to <strong>Heaven</strong><br />
Many Christian leaders have also addressed the question of what happens to animals after they die.<br />
John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, taught that humans are stewards of—and responsible for the care<br />
of—God’s creation. When they failed to protect His perfect creation, humans sinned against God, and when<br />
pain and suffering then entered the world, animals had to endure it, too. The bond God had created was<br />
broken, and humans’ exploitation of and cruelty to animals began. Wesley spoke with anticipation of a new<br />
creation in which God would restore animals to their intended glory.<br />
Martin Luther, who founded the Lutheran church, held a view similar to Wesley’s, saying, “In Paradise there<br />
was complete harmony between man and animals; one day again that harmony will be restored and all creation<br />
will be made anew as Christ will be in all and all.”<br />
Pope John Paul II confirmed that “[n]o human being can be justified in claiming absolute ownership of animals<br />
for the simple reason that God alone owns creation. Animals do not simply exist for us nor belong to us.<br />
They exist primarily for God and belong to God. The whole work of creation belongs to the plan of salvation,<br />
‘the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things.’”<br />
In his book <strong>Heaven</strong>, Randy Alcorn writes, “Horses, cats, dogs, deer, dolphins, and squirrels—as well as the<br />
inanimate creation—will be beneficiaries of Christ’s death and resurrection. … If we believe God is their<br />
Creator, that He loves us and them, that He intends to restore His creatures from the bondage they experienced<br />
because of our sin, then we have biblical grounds for not only wanting but expecting that we may be with<br />
them again on the New Earth.”<br />
Scripture and many of those whom God called to share His message have explained that He created animals,<br />
blessed them, and called them good and that one day they will be part of His restored perfect kingdom. It’s<br />
important to note that God doesn’t differentiate among species, even though it might be more convenient for<br />
some humans to believe that the dogs and cats they share their homes with—but not the chicken they just ate<br />
for dinner—will be with them in heaven. Some people might picture a heaven with doves and majestic elephants—but<br />
not the tiny mouse they killed in a glue trap. Humans don’t get to make those determinations,<br />
though. God does, and His choice is clear.<br />
We don’t have to wait for a new kingdom in order to live in harmony with the rest of God’s creation. Right<br />
now, we can refuse to exploit or abuse animals for experimentation, food, clothing, entertainment, or any<br />
other reason, thus honoring Jesus’ commandment to “love one another.”<br />
