In my opinion, the single most telling piece of evidence that shows how poorly we're manifesting our call to care for animals is the recent creation of factory farms. Over the last century we have, to a large degree, reduced farm animals to commercialized commodities whose only value is found in how efficiently we can produce and slaughter them for profit. Consequently, more than 26 billion animals each year are forced to live in miserable, overcrowded warehouses, where there is absolutely nothing natural about their existence and where they are subjected to barbaric, painful, industrial procedures.
This is a far cry from what God meant when he told us to exercise "dominion." (Pastor Greg Boyd.)

with the reworking of the website came the small pop-up viewing window. it is not good. it will not show many of the pictures at full size. this is a problem.

~ from author Philip Yancey:
".....a true story that long afterward continued to haunt me. I heard it from a friend who works with the down-and-out in Chicago:
'A prositute came to me in wretched straits, homeless, sick, unable to buy food for her two-year-old daughter. Through sobs and tears, she told me she had been renting out her daughter -- two years old! - to men interested in kinky sex. She made more renting out her daughter for an hour than she could earn on her own in a night. She had to do it, she said, to support her drug habit. I could hardly bear hearing her sordid story. For one thing it made me legally liable -- I am required to report cases of child abuse. I had no idea what to say to this woman.
At last I asked if she had ever thought of going to a church for help. I will never forget the look of pure. naive shock that crossed her face. "Church, she cried. "Why would I ever go there? I was already feeling terrible about myself. They'd just make feel worse."
What struck me about my friend's story is that woman much like this prositute fled toward Jesus, not away from him. The worse a person felt about herself, the more likelt she saw Jesus as a refuge.
Has the church lost that gift? Evidently the down-and-out, who flocked to Jesus when he lived on earth, no longer feel welcome among his followers. What has happened?
The more I pondered this question, the more I felt drawn to one word as the key..........that one word [is] grace.

Jesus, here, speaking about himself and the creator God the Jews were calling the heavenly Father... (Remember: God is a being. God is essentially [a] spirit. Jesus *claimed to be God in the flesh; the Son.)
"The Father dearly loves the Son and discloses to (shows) Him everything that He Himself does, and He will disclose to Him (let Him see) greater things yet than these, (see Jn. 5: 5 ..18 for background)
so that you may marvel and be full of wonder and astonishment.
Just as the Father raises up the dead and gives them life [makes them live on], even so the Son also gives life to whomever He wills and is pleased to give it.
Even the Father judges no one, for He has given all judgement (the last judgement and the whole business of judging) entirely into the hands of the Son."
~ to be continued ~
This is an authentic teaching of Jesus', according to his disciple, John.
