As a young boy did the Lord first speak to me ...as I was pretending to be a cunning hunter ...having killed a small bird ...he said, "are going to eat this bird?" ...I knew in my heart ...no I wasn't ...but the learning has stayed with me to this day... I will not kill an animal unless I am going to eat it ...nevertheless ... if a beast was to present harm ...or needs be put out of fatal misery ... And as the lord did minister to me in all things of my past He did show me that he was with me always ...and for me in all things...
