What Does the Bible Say About Dogs? What does the Bible say about dogs? What roles did they play in the New Testament? https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/ancient-cultures/ancient-near-eastern-world/what-does-the-bible-say-about-dogs/?

We know Christs answer when asked, and even to even before giving gifts to God before the altar and reconcile with their brother, to say nothing of what He declared to Zacchaeus. So my question is, if someone is stealing from you or taking what rightly should be yours, lets say your brother takes over your elderly fathers accounts and drains them before he even dies, do we just forgive and let it go, as your parents fade away, no longer able to understand the injustice being done them? What should a Christian do to forgive and right such a wrong and how far should he go, just forgive and forget, or what?

Dolly Parton may have sung about working “9 to 5,” but the country queen clocked a six-decade shift that leaves behind a massive $450 million empire. Her meticulously crafted estate plan is set to determine who gets the keys to the kingdom — and what happens to the fortune she spent a lifetime building. The music legend’s assets include a 3,000-song catalog estimated at $120 million, an estimated $165 million stake in Dollywood, a sprawling Tennessee property valued at roughly $10 million and, potentially, decades’ worth of personal possessions, including her famously extensive wardrobe and memorabilia. How that fortune will be divided, and who ultimately controls the pieces of Parton’s empire, could remain private for some time. --------------------------------- Seems like a lot of money for a christian singer. I wonder if she left any of it to a church?

Norwegians were gathering on Saturday to say goodbye to King Harald in front of the royal palace, where he lies in state, with many well-wishers remembering his sense of inclusiveness and tolerance. Europe’s oldest monarch, who emerged ‌from the shadow of his well-loved, extrovert father to become a reformer during more than three decades on the throne, died on Friday at the age of 89. Late on Friday, throngs pressed the streets of Oslo under the pouring rain to watch the funeral cortege as it left Oslo University Hospital, where Harald passed away, to reach the royal palace.

The beginning of this episode has Philip and Matthew talking about learning Tora as they walk. Philip shines as a teacher, or what many call a sage. The term sage is used by some eastern religions and some non-religious philosophical groups to describe someone that is wise, enlightened (or highly educated) with a reputation of a strong ethical character. A sage focuses on teaching and caretaking (shepherding). They are not known for leading out in worship or leading movements to reform a religious body or political institution. This scene takes Philip and Matthew to Mary Magdalene and Ramah who also also interested in learning more Tora. The campfire scene transitions as it becomes dark. Philip participates in the discussion as the sun is setting. He doesn't take part after dark. Before the sun sets, the discussion was about becoming famous. Philip points out that it isn't always easy and it creates enemies. When Matthew mentions he has had a lot of enemies, Philip points out that Matthew had protection and those enemies didn't have power. After dark the discussion becomes dominated by Thomas, Peter, Big James and John and develops into an argument focused on Matthew's sin of being a tax collector. That is the part where Peter says he will never forgive Matthew. There are two schools of thought in the disciples in Season 2. One is that of Philip, groomed to be a sage by John the Baptist. The other school of thought is that of Big James, John and Peter. They are fighters and quick to lose their temper. The role of Philip completely changes in Season 4 but it is worth following in Season 2 and 3 and thinking about how that role plays in the church today. In the laity (which are church members that are not ordain clergy) there are some that want to be up front, lead and dominate church board meetings. Those act more like pastor-want-to-bes than sages. Sages do not typically seek the spot light. They tend to hold positions as head of a ministry department like Sabbath School Superintendent, Pathfinder director, men's ministry director, laymen ministries director, prison ministries, etc. They tend to get roped into these positions and would be quite content simply teaching a Sabbath school class or facilitating a small group Bible study. In 1 Corinthians chapter 12, Paul uses the metaphor of the church and the various parts of the body. The church needs people like Philip, those like Peter and those like John. In this discussion it is also important to remember that the term pastor is taken from the word shepherd. It refers to a member of the clergy but is a humble title. Some denominations use the term reverend which is a more esteemed title. Pastors sometimes have to rope the sages into leadership roles and help guide over zealous paster-want-to-bes into learning humility. The pastor has a role that is distinctly different from the leadership roles filled by laity. In The Chosen, the disciples are much like the laity of today while Christ was with them. They transition to be more like pastors and denominational leaders after the ascension. Modern chaplains are ordained clergy but many work in hospitals, prisons and military and may be more like a sage than a traditional pastor.

Meet Microduck Image: Microduck Tech company Hugging Face today unveiled "Microduck," a small duck-like robot that waddles and picks up small objects in its "beak," Axios' Ina Fried reports. The move is an effort to put a friendly, approachable face on a robotics field dominated by attack dogs and humanoids. The $399 Microduck comes in several colors and has many sensors, including an eye-like camera, speaker, microphone, WiFi, Bluetooth and even a small lidar sensor. It will come with several preset behaviors, like following a laser pointer. In sample videos, Microduck was also shown picking up a dirty sock, rollerblading, and recovering from falls and efforts to push it off balance.

Dire cyberthreat warning Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and more than 100 other companies warned today there's only months to prepare for AI-enabled cyberattacks, Axios' Sam Sabin reports. Hospitals, water treatment plants and other critical infrastructure will face a swarm of hacking threats as AI makes sophisticated cyber capabilities cheaper and more accessible, the group writes in an open letter. (Read.) 🛡️ The group is calling for "collective action," and urges organizations to secure critical infrastructure. Signatories include a range of cloud providers, cybersecurity companies, AI companies, telecoms and financial services companies, and think tanks. The organizations lay out a plan for how all companies and governments, as well as cybersecurity and AI companies, need to adapt. Organizations need to raise their internal security standards and fix their "highest-risk weaknesses," the group says. They also should "raise the security bar for what you buy, build, and deploy, including AI-generated code." 🤖 Cybersecurity and tech companies must quickly test and build out tools that make "AI-powered defense accessible and deployable for critical-infrastructure operators." Governments need to strengthen channels for sharing actionable threat intelligence, coordinate defense at the local, national and international levels, and fund cyber defense. Frontier AI companies should give defenders access to their most capable response models during major cyber incidents, along with "significant funding, training, and hands-on support." 👾 The letter comes amid a wave of cyberattacks against critical infrastructure, including one targeting U.S. water systems with an apparent AI-generated script. The signatories didn't make any commitments, deadlines or specific investments. Go deeper.

Trump’s Reflection Pool Repairs Reveal New Embarrassment The peely pool saga continues. Efforts to repair President Donald Trump’s botched renovation project have exposed just how shoddy the work truly was. A video shared on X on Wednesday by photographer Joe Flood captured workers pulling up “chunks” of loose blue sealant as they power washed the basin of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The workers could be seen pulling up flaps of the “American Flag Blue” liner with their bare hands, while scraps of damaged sealant were jostled loose by the power washer. The White House deferred questions from the Daily Beast to the Interior Department, which did not immediately return a request for comment. The basin of the reflecting pool was drained once again as crews began efforts to repair its cracked liner last week, according to The Washington Post. Trump, 80, has repeatedly claimed that his peeling pool is the result of vandals who cut a gash hundreds of feet long into its liner, but even his own prosecutors disagree. Jeanine Pirro, the president’s top federal prosecutor for Washington, D.C., dropped charges against former Olympian David Hearn after determining that the pool’s damage was likely caused by a “botched installation” by the contractors. The Department of Justice had also dropped misdemeanor charges against three others accused of vandalizing the pool. Trump said that he was “very disappointed with Jeanine Pirro,” adding that she “folded like an umbrella.” “There may have been some contractor difficulty, but the major damage was caused by VANDALS!” Trump later wrote on Truth Social. While repairs have been underway, new signs were placed on the fences surrounding the pool, stating that crews were ‘repairing areas damaged by vandals’ and blaming past administrations for tourists being unable to enjoy it. “Since 1922, prior administrations have neglected this iconic landmark, evidenced most recently by more than half of the pool’s pipes being clogged and the sidewalks and granite coping stones being filthy dirty,” the sign reads. “The Reflecting Pool will remain drained while this work proceeds so that it can truly reflect the beauty, dignity, and grandeur of our nation’s capital.” Work on the historic attraction has continued on and off since June, as Trump’s idea to restore the pool by painting it “American Flag Blue” failed miserably. Instead, the renovation spurred the pool’s largest algal bloom in years. The same contractor who worked on the initial renovation, Atlantic Industrial Coatings, was hired again for the repairs, as Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told CNN that “they did a fantastic job.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-reflection-pool-repairs-reveal-new-liner-peeling-embarrassment/? ps:Just pathetic!!

Yahoo Sports AM is written by Kendall Baker and Jeff Tracy. Let's sports...   🚨 ICYMI HEADLINES 🏈 NFL axes Pro Bowl: The NFL is pulling the plug on the Pro Bowl amid declining interest. Instead, the league will simply name a Pro Bowl team — consisting of 88 players — and invite them to Los Angeles for an in-person celebration in February, presumably during Super Bowl week. 🏀 Historic viewership: Sunday's Fever-Sky matchup drew 3.3 million viewers on NBC and Peacock, making it the most-watched WNBA regular-season game since the league's inaugural weekend in 1997. 🎾 Doubles champs: Karolína Muchová and Jakub Menšík won the US Open's unique mixed doubles tournament on Wednesday, taking home a $1 million grand prize (or $500,000 each). Not bad for two days' work. 💵 Battles of the Busses: Jeanie Buss has petitioned a Los Angeles Superior Court to block her five siblings from selling the family's 17.8% stake in the Lakers. Meanwhile, two of those siblings, Joey and Jesse, acquired 5% of the Padres. ⚾️ Ohtani nears return: Shohei Ohtani will throw a bullpen session tomorrow and, if all goes well, could start on Sunday against the Tigers, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. The two-way star hasn't pitched since July 3 due to knee and biceps injuries.   ⛳️ MONEY GAME SPLITTING THE FAIRWAY: HOW LIV FRACTURED GOLF (Chung Sung-Jun/Getty Images) As the curtain closed on LIV Golf Indianapolis this past weekend, it may have ended not just the season but — at minimum — version 1.0 of the upstart golf league, which plans to lay off the majority of its staff amid an uncertain future. Whether LIV ultimately lives on or not, the disruption it unleashed forever changed golf. The build-up (2020-21) Rumblings of an upstart PGA Tour challenger materialized in the early 2020s, a startling reality that the Tour met swiftly with both repudiation (for competitors) and retention efforts (for players). January 2020: The World Golf Group, believed to be financed by Saudi backers, announces plans for the Premier Golf League. PGA commissioner Jay Monahan warns that aligning with PGL could lead to PGA ineligibility. April 2021: PGA unveils the Player Impact Program, which will reward the top 10 "needle-moving" players with a $40 million bonus pool. October 2021: LIV Golf Investments is officially announced, with Greg Norman named CEO. November 2021: The PGA reveals significant increases in player pay for the upcoming season. The launch (2022) LIV played its first events in mid 2022. With those events came the first defections, many of them high-profile, thoroughly unsettling a golf establishment religious in its traditions. February 2022: It's revealed that Phil Mickelson is involved with LIV Golf, and he extolls the newfound leverage over the PGA Tour to Alan Shipnuck. March 2022: LIV announces inaugural eight-event, $255 million series for 2022 beginning in London in June. May 2022: PGA Tour denies players' release request to play in LIV events. Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, and Louis Oosthuizen are among the players revealed as participants in the first event. June 2022: Charl Schwartzel wins LIV Golf London, the competition's first event. Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka are among the stars to join in the following weeks. August 2022: 11 LIV Players file an antitrust suit against the PGA Tour. The PGA Tour announces the addition of new Elevated Events, increased purses, and commitments from top players to play 20 events. October 2022: The PGA Tour files a lawsuit against Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and its governor. (Matthew Lewis/Getty Images) The negotiations (2023-24) The opposing parties soon began a negotiating dance, exploring the terms of a possible merger while also navigating their own independent business aspirations. June 2023: The PGA Tour, PIF and DP World Tour announce a "framework agreement" to form a new entity and end litigation. December 2023: Parties move to extend the December 31 deadline for their merger. Jon Rahm joins LIV. January 2024: The PGA Tour announces a $3 billion investment deal with Strategic Sports Group. The deal will give players up to $1.5 billion in equity in a new commercial entity, PGA Tour Enterprises. March 2024: A PGA Tour delegation that includes Tiger Woods meets with LIV officials in the Bahamas for "constructive" talks. A false new dawn (2025) 2025 brought new blood into LIV leadership, but the weight of past investment began to catch up with the upstart league, and cracks emerged. January 2025: Scott O'Neil replaces Greg Norman as CEO of LIV Golf. The competition signs a multi-year media rights agreement with Fox Sports. February 2025: Adam Scott, Jay Monahan, Tiger Woods and Yasir Al-Rumayyan join President Trump at the White House for merger talks, briefly increasing prospects of reunification. October 2025: Financial disclosures show that LIV's international division lost $590 million in 2024, bringing three-year losses to $1.4 billion. The company had reportedly received $4 billion in equity injections through the end of 2024. December 2025: Koepka leaves LIV, citing "personal reasons." The beginning of the end of LIV 1.0 (2026) Speculation about the loss of ongoing funding soon became reality, as LIV scrambled to court prospective investors and forge a path toward the end of this season and the beginning of a new one. January 2026: Koepka rejoins the PGA Tour through the Returning Member Program, which applies to four elite players. April 2026: PIF releases its new 2026-2030 investment strategy, which appears to deemphasize sports relative to the prior cycle. An emergency meeting is called at LIV's Mexico event amid (later confirmed) speculation that PIF is pulling funding. August 2026: LIV announces that it has secured a new lead investor to fund the upcoming season in a structure that will make its players the majority equity holders. LIV's Team Championship event is canceled, and the purse for LIV Golf Indianapolis is halved. Looking ahead: LIV's new structure could reportedly require reduced purses, a bankruptcy filing and restructured player contracts, raising questions about the league's viability, whether its players want to stick around and what their potential path back to the PGA Tour might look like.

This week's photo: A woman competes during the preliminary heats of the 2026 Super Girl Surf Festival, the world's largest women's surf and music festival. Photographer: Donald Miralle Location: Oceanside, California Date: August 22 📸 Behind the lens: Here's Donald… As a life-long surfer, I love the opportunity to shoot the "Sport of Kings," especially if it's in my own backyard. I saw the forecast called for epic weather and clean surf all weekend for the event, which is now in its 20th year. I have been a licensed and insured drone pilot since the inception of the first prosumer DJI drones circa 2010, back when they were pretty rudimentary and no one used them yet at sporting events. Now most photographers and videographers carry them as an essential part of their camera bag for good reason! In this particular shot, I saw how the light was cutting through the water, revealing the sand churning below, as well as the contrast of the breaking wave with the surfer wearing the red jersey. I captured this frame about 60 feet above the surfer to avoid distracting her with the drone props while still capturing a wider scene. I composed the surfer off-center in the frame using the rule of thirds, giving the photo room to breathe a little with the dynamic of her cutback and the wave. Since I was only shooting photos and not video, I really didn't have to fly very long to capture this, but just had to predict when her turn was going to happen on the wave as there's a long delay on triggering of the shutter for the drone, and you really only get one frame. Happy it all came together in the photo, and shows the beauty of the sport and our local break! Equipment and technique: Donald shot this with a DJI Mavic Pro, using a wide angle lens with an f/4 aperture and a shutter speed of 1/2500th of a second at a setting of ISO 100.   📚 GO DEEPER GOOD READS (Grant Thomas/Yahoo Sports) 🏈 Jeff Eisenberg: Lose your fantasy league, suffer the consequences: Inside the wild world of last-place punishments Last-place punishments have long been a fantasy football staple, providing incentive for bottom-dwelling managers to keep trying after they've already been eliminated from playoff contention. In recent years, leagues have become increasingly creative and ruthless with their punishments, making the battle to avoid last place as high stakes as the race to finish first. (Taylor Wilhelm/Yahoo Sports) 🥊 Elliot Worsell: What does boxing's world heavyweight title actually mean in 2026? In the old days, back when the meaning was clearer, the belts of boxers were pretty things coveted by all. Now, all we hear is that there are too many belts in boxing and that the proliferation of them has diluted what it means to be seen wearing one. There is even talk of boxing's belts being removed altogether. (Amy Monks/Yahoo Sports) 🏈 Ross Dellenger: SEC v. LSU? Lane Kiffin's brazen approach raises question of whether league would sue its own school A month ago, Lane Kiffin turned toward a reporter and agreed that LSU had, indeed, become the villain of college football. He is the central figure — the brash man who signed a $90 million contract, who unabashedly exploits loopholes, who left his former program for an archrival amid a postseason run, and who, one day, believes he'll be a hero. Why? Kiffin smiled. "You'll be a hero if you win."   📺 VIEWING GUIDE WATCHLIST: THURSDAY, AUG. 27 The clubhouse and 18th green at East Lake.
