To the editor:
All my life I heard pastors and evangelists rant that animals would never inhabit Heaven. It seemed at times they were almost gleeful when reflecting on this scenario, though I never could understand why. Neither could I comprehend their reasoning to back this theory. Now that I’m older and, hopefully, wiser, I know why their reasoning, not only seemed, but was, badly flawed.

When scary things happen…

A lot of us have heard about the passing of Derek J. Sam and our thoughts are with those who are affected by everything that has happened. It’s tragic, in so many ways.
