What happens to people who never hear about God?



The question, what happens to people who have never heard about God was unanswered in my mind until today.  I read the story of the blind man that Jesus healed in John 9:35-41. Inparticular I was interested in the part of that Bible verse where Jesus said to the blind man "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains" The Bible tells us that God is a just God.  It would be foolish to believe that He'd judge a person who never knew about Him the same as someone who did.
No matter where we live we are born with a soul.  That soul has a longing in it.  As Eccles. 3:11 says
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." 
However, some people refuse to accept what is in their very heart.  They drown out that yearning toward God.  Why?  The Bible defines why?  "God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. ²⁰ All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed"
I did this myself for at least 10 years of my adulthood.  I believed there was a God.  I did have skepticism.  But skepticism isn't unbelief.  I wanted to keep living my life in the dark because there were things in my life that were rebellious.  I believe that God didn't force Himself onto me but waited patiently as the father did with the prodigal son. (Luke 15:11-32) In time I chose belief.  And yes, you chose it.

Dog Gone Tastee Treats and People Eats

 

So do you like to give your doggie a tastee human food treat?  I do!  I have been researching what I can give our new addition.  She's an 8th month old American Bull dog/ St. Benard mix.  While I do not encourage gorging your dog on human food or feeding at the table I do think they deserve a little something of what us people eat.  Our dog, by the way, thinks we are her people.  She does have us wrapped around her big ole paw.  She is constatly laying by my feet while I'm on the computer and when I'm working around the house, she follows me from room to room.  Now when I'm in the kitchen cooking, I am so tempted to give her a taste of human food.  She is such a loyal family member, keeping me company in the kitchen.  While I do enjoy cooking (sometimes), I do long for the company and well, darn it, she's there! 

So here are some tastee people food that I found are safe and enjoyable for your doggie...but give in moderation and never from the table unless you want a begger!

Dried Sweet Potatoes
Instuctions:
wash and dry sweet potatoes
slice in 1/2" sections, skin on
place on cookie sheet in low oven
bake for 2 hrs
flip potatoes over and bake 2 more hrs
cool and serve
(I keep mine in plastic bag in refrig.)

 



Bananas



Simply give your dog a bite of your banana. I don't mean literally let her bite off your banana...hehe... My husband gets credit for this. I wouldn't have tried it, as our first dog hated bananas! But our new dog loves that first or last bite.

 

Carrots

You know those bags of the little peeled and washed carrots?  Well, try it, they might like one.  Or try frozen carrots, green beans or some peas added to their food.  This might be a good idea for a summer snack.  And just adding some of these (less than 1/3 to their food) could help with...ummm...their weight problem? 

Other tastee treats

Diluted chicken or beef broth frozen ice cubes for a summer treat but be careful because according to www.webMD dogs sometimes can break their teeth on ice cubes.
Salmon cooked
For dogs with sensitive digestive systems or if they have been vomiting...
Chicken or turkey cooked
Cottage cheese
Boiled white rice
Other tastee treats I found were safe!
Unsalted, unbuttered popcorn (my last dog use to share mine, she'd have a bowl and I'd have a bowl but I didn't use the unsalted, unbuttered and she had a weight problem.  I'm trying for a healthier dog this time...)
Vanilla or strawberry yogurt without artificial sweeteners
Vanilla flavored animal crackers
And one that will keep your dog busy for awhile....
Peanut Butter in their stuff a ball dog toy! 
You will be suprised how clean they can get it.  And great for seperation anxiety.

 

*  (I do suggest only offering one a day as they may change your dogs digestive system...if you know what I mean!)

This our Maxine (RIP 2010) watching my son, eagerly wanting a bite.  She died of stroke or heart attack this is why I am not feeding Daisy "junk" people food.

This is our Daisy. Who can so no to these eyes? 

 

Happy Pet Parenting!

 

Sign made from fruit crate

This will go on my front porch with our natural wooden rockers.  I got some fruit crates from a farm stand for free.  This one, corn was packed in.  I then seperated the crate.  The wire is very easy to cut with wire snips.  I made a wire hanger on back with some of the left over wire.  I then placed the stencils and masking taped off around them so the paint would only go where I wanted it.  Allow to dry.
