<strong>Summer</strong> <strong>2024</strong> The Heat is on ...<br />

<strong>2024</strong> <strong>Summer</strong> has arrived. We recently moved<br />

full time to Indio, CA from Sunset Beach, CA<br />

and yes it gets hot very hot here in the <strong>Summer</strong><br />

time. Thankfully no matter where you live God<br />

is always there to be with you through thick,<br />

thin and heat too. We found a great church in<br />

nearby Indian Wells at Southwest Church at<br />

the Indian Wells Tennis Gardens. Pastor Ricky<br />

Jenkins is a man of faith and who brings a great<br />

sermon when he speaks about a personal<br />

Relationship with Jesus Christ and how we are<br />

all called to serve the Lord and help fulfill the<br />

great commission to lead others to Christ. When<br />

in the Desert be sure to visit Southwest Church.<br />

Speaking of <strong>Summer</strong> this is the time to get<br />

out and take a trip thats what <strong>Summer</strong> is for.<br />

Schools out lets go somewhere.<br />

We kicked off our <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>2024</strong> getaway a bit<br />

early on Fathers Day June 16th for a little<br />

vacation to visit one of my favorite places on the<br />

planet the Central Coast of California where<br />

I was introduced to the Central Coast while a<br />

Student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo majoring<br />

in Graphic Communications “they used to call it<br />

printing”. While at SLO they call it I was<br />

introduced to some of the cool places to visit<br />

around SLO such as Hearst Castle, Cayucos<br />

One of the best small beach towns in California,<br />

San Simeon, Avila Beach, Grover Beach,<br />

Oceano, Cambria, Arroyo Grande, Los Osos<br />

and Montana De Oro State Beach to name a<br />

few places. Wherever you venture this <strong>Summer</strong><br />

be safe and May the Lord Be with you always<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 />

Remember to keep your hands on the wheel and<br />

stay in prayer for every situation and everything<br />

that comes your way knowing that by trusting in<br />

the Lord you are on the Right Ship and although<br />

you may experience some rough waters along the<br />

way God will see you through and has a plan for<br />

you. Make a pact with God and don’t leave him<br />

without it.<br />

<strong>Heaven</strong> <strong>Bound</strong> Book Feature<br />

Early on in my sales career I would listen to Books on Tape in my car while<br />

navigating the Freeways and Roads of So Cal calling on clients and prospects<br />

while selling commercial printing for My Dad and His Partners Printing<br />

Business. One Book on tape I will never forget was the autobiography of<br />

Wallace E. Johnson titled “Work is my play”. I truly believe that God puts<br />

people, places, books and incidents in our life for a reason. This book was one<br />

of those jewels that surely impacted me when I read the story of Wallace and<br />

his partner Kemmons Wilson who started the Holiday Inns.<br />

Nothing is impossible with Faith, Hard Work and trusting the Lord in<br />

everything you do. Although the Book is out of print its message is still available<br />

for anyone to read online I’m sure through Amazon. I was fortunate to get<br />

a signed copy of his Book but sadly Wallace died the year I received the book<br />

and I never had the chance to meet Wallace which was in my plans. I hope you<br />

read the book and if you wish I will gladly send you my dog eared copy if you<br />

promise to return it the same beat up condition.<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 />

Its Just a Game Chill Bro .... so what if you missed a few putts<br />

What does the fish symbolize<br />

in Christianity?<br />

Basically, the fish represents<br />

the phrase of “Jesus Christ<br />

God’s Son is Savior.” Some<br />

research has suggested that<br />

the fish symbol emerged in<br />

the first century or even<br />

before Jesus died on the cross,<br />

but nothing has been<br />

confirmed as to when the<br />

symbol and its meaning first<br />

began.<br />

According to the Bible, wealth is defined as having<br />

enough food, clothing, and shelter, and is considered<br />

a suitable accumulation of resources and possessions<br />

of value. 1 Timothy 6:17-18 instructs the wealthy to<br />

not be arrogant, but to put their hope in God, who<br />

provides everything for enjoyment. The passage also<br />

commands the wealthy to do good, be rich in good<br />

deeds, and be generous and willing to share.<br />
