Haha u intend to beat me on my own blog???! ha that's a laugh....Actually I lie..Its our blog so don't le tme intimidate...Guess what..It is 230 am!! am am slipping into bed already...Such progress!!!
today I had the usual case of Monday blues..rather mundane day except for an sad email from my dad..Apparently my poor Dog scrappy is acutely sick and in the ICU!!! poor ole fella was going through some arthritis when I last saw him..but ICU man its horrible to think about especially after all the joy he's brought in our lives..woiye..Funny I've always been awed by the amount of care and love dogs get this side of the world compared to canines back home...I've never really quite understood it actually how they assimilate into families ...Yeah only until I got the email!!! Scrappy is his name..The dog is a whopping 15 dog years and to date still politely respond to a handshake with his paw and sit on command.
Maybe they should jus lay him to rest..
Which leads me to interesting thought...Would you..(heloooo...(echoo) anyone out there!!) concede to being sustained by life support machineseven when chances of recovery where minute(but not impossible)? u think it would be fair on your remaining relatives/friends? I'm not so sure I would want to leave that decision with any of them anyway....hmmm something to think about nonetheless..
Another thing i'e been thinking..what if any, is the animal afterlife like??? Where's ole Scrappy going to be after this life? I hate to think that his being is as uneventful and insignificant as just being our guard dog....U know..Do animals make conscious decisions with possible repercussions? Are they aware of these choices? Are they sentient? don't be so quick to shoot down these questions ..We often get so caught up in the common textbook/theological school of thought that emphasizes so much on the differences between humans and animals, forgetting that the vastly overwhelming similarities between them.
What is the definitive Christian standpoint on this?? heheh I was about to begin" from my Christian standpoint..." When I realised I wasn't quite sure where/if the Bible explicitly says about this...I am unsure of what I think now about animals not having souls.
somebody??Anybody?????
