When did you shoot your deer, Richard? Firearm deer season just opened yesterday here, but bow and arrow season has been going on since the first of October.

When I went for my walk this afternoon, just about the time I passed the creek at the back of our property, a deer came running out of the driveway of the next house down the road. It ran along the road a little way, in the same direction I was going, then ran into the field on the other side of the neighbor's house. When I got to the tracks, I could see drops of blood among them. I hope if the wounds were fatal, the hunters find the deer, so they can take it away and make use of it. But I guess if they don't, the vultures and other scavengers will see to it that nothing is wasted.

My brother in law shot it last week. The season is in down here in NC. I cooked a shoulder in the crock pot over night with Lipton onion soup mix, and this morning added potatoes, onions, and carrots. It just fell off the bone. Tender and succulent.

These guys have some catchy songs....but do you really want them interpreting your understanding of scripture?

I would never pay them that much attention. My sister sent me the one I posted, and I thought it was cute.

The problem with this whole thing about Christmas is that Dec 25 was originally the birthday of Horus at the winter solstice in the form of a child or the young sun. His virgin mother Isis was the prototype of Mary.

Christianity is essentially messianic Jewish beliefs combined with pagan god myths. In the ancient world it was actually difficult to find any god, ruler, or religious icon that wasn't born of a virgin.

SDAs are generally quite well aware of the pagan origins of Christmas and Easter, etc.

John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
