Thunder Faces Death

-


 

           It was a cool autumnal morning and Thunder was taking one of his morning walks.  He was en-

joying the view seeing the leaves that had changed their colors.   He also enjoyed seeing those that had

fallen on the ground.  He feared Winter would soon be there, but there was nothing he could do about 

that he thought as he walked on.

          Then he came to a circle of animals who was observing a moment of silence.  The problem was

Thunder did not understand why.  So, Thunder being a rather small dog pushed his way through to see 

what everyone was viewing.  It was only then that he saw a baby squirrel lying on its back.

            Thunder did not understand what the big deal was.  A baby squirrel was lying on its back when

it should have been up running and playing.  Thunder just shook his head and said, "it's lying around

like that is against the natural order of things.  Now you all just get back to your natural lives, and that 

baby squirrel will be up jumping and playing in no time, just you wait."

            His saying that caused a bunch of the animals to cry.  Castle the Cat slapped Thunder, and 

told him that the baby squirrel was dead.  Thunder was shocked at this statement, and he said, "Dead, 

but I thought he was just asleep.  Shouldn't we read scripture, sing song, do something to get it into

heaven?"

            Castle the Cat slapped Thunder again and said, "Squirrels don't go to heaven like all dogs and 

cats do.  They're born in the trees, and then return to the dust when they die.  That is why we have a 

moment of silence for the squirrels.  If anyone judges the squirrel's life in the hereafter, it's the ACLU.

As I understand it some squirrels go on to live in the next life as a member of the ACLU.

            Thunder did not know what to think about that.  He was certain that all creatures great and small

were made by God.  He thought the part about the ACLU was all made up by Castle.

               One morning Thunder wakes up, and tells Maxine that they are going to take a vacation back  to  his homelands in the Woods in Indiana.  Maxine just says, "that is fine dear, but, you should have  checked to see if I had a tea, or any diplomatic duties first."                Thunder just hoed and hummed as he got dressed.  He then told Maxine, "anything like that  could be rearranged.  Furthermore you will have tea at the Woods."                  As they were walking to breakfast Maxine rolled her eyes.  She then addressed Thunder in a loving fashion and said, "Well dear, I am glad you have it all thought out, but where ever will we stay? You do have the twins to recall, or were they just staying here at the White House.                Thunder and his family by this time ...

                                                                  Thunder hung around at Casey's Ol' General Store as he always did.  Casey was an old goat who needed to sale the store and move on with his life.  So, he offered Thunder Senior the store for a grand $500.000 saying, "After all, Thunder you are here quite a bit of the time.  I might add you build up  business by being here too!  What I'm offering you is really a steal.  Baah!           Thunder just smiled and grabbed his debit card paying Casey $500,001 for the store.  Thunder  drank a root beer as they signed the contract.  (His sons Thunder & Lightening signed as witnesses.) Lightening made a record of all this for the Big Woods Gazett.             Mos...

Isaiah 44:20

-
 "A deceived heart has turned him aside; and cannot deliver his soul..." Could we not just as easily say,  "A sinning heart has delivered his soul in the depths of hell." The following is a list of sins which Billy Graham feels the Christian has a daily struggle with in which I concur. One is immortality which comes from the Greek word porneia, in which the word pornography comes from. Two is impurity which covers the natural lusts found in Romans 1:24. Three would be sensuality which comes come the greek word for Wantonness or Debauchery.  This  same word is also used in II Peter 2:7. Along with this is Idolatry's, Sorceries, Enmities (  Enmities has to do with hatred), strife. jealousy, outburst of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions or heresies, envying's, drunkenness, carousing's (the  greek word for this is interpreted orgies), From this list we may feel that there is none who are worthy to lead or speak from the pulpit. Let us not forget, howeve...
