Coyote Solution

Environmentalists and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population. 

It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of shooting or trapping the predators, the environmentalists had a "more humane" solution to this issue. What they were proposing was for the animals to be captured alive. The males would then be castrated and let loose again.  

All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes. Finally an old fellow wearing a big cowboy hat in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said; "Son, I don't think you understand our problem here... these coyotes ain't having sex with our sheep... they're eatin' 'em!" 

The meeting never really got back to order. 

I look out around our world and I see satan doing the same thing to God's people - eatin' 'em alive.  The religions of the world are NOT going to save anybody, no where, no how. Nor are any of the smart thinkers scattered across our planet. The tried and true method through the ages holds true today.  It is only by the blood of Jesus that we are saved. 

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul"(Leviticus 17:11) 

A pearl to string: It's baffling too witness the hate and mistrust of those who bring the message of forgiveness & eternal life.  I suppose it is because we are all flawed and imperfect.  Maybe some can be over the top with their enthusiasm, some may be boring and some may be annoying - imperfect people can be like that.  It's not, however, the people that are knocking at the door of your heart.  It's Jesus!  We are instructed in 1 Peter 5:8 to be sober and vigilant for satan walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  So don't be devourable!  Stay in His Word.... Hear His knock! 

He came that we might have life
Know you are eternally loved,
