I shared briefly on Facebook what happened a couple of days ago, but wanted to blog about it now and add quite a few other thoughts and links.    

In this video clip, Randy Alcorn answers the question, "Is it wrong to grieve the loss of our pets?"

Throughout Scripture we read that animals praise God. Psalm 148 commands all of creation to praise the Lord, including the animals.

In this 5-minute video, Randy Alcorn talks about Romans 8:18-22, which says that the whole creation was subject to suffering and futility because of human sin. Creation is under man’s dominion and will share the rewards of his redemption just as it shared the punishment for his sin.

God is so gracious to give us animals. In Genesis 1 and 2, one of the first responsibilities given to the first man and woman was to care for the animals.

Here are four images and captions I love. I’ve put them under the categories of love and friendship, regret, disappointment and self-doubt, and finally, melodrama.

Nanci and I really enjoyed this video. Yes, predictably, it involves a dog! Great music, too. 

Randy Alcorn and Wayne Grudem discuss a variety of topics in this two part panel discussion at the 2010 Clarus Conference. Listen to the panel in two parts or watch each Q&A from the panel in seperate video clips.
