Greetings to all FML'rs, with Dooks from the heart and soul.
 
First, I would like to give my heartfelt condolances to all who have had
their fuzzies leave this physical world for the Rainbow Bridge.  I wish I
could send individual condolances, for my heart breaks and my tears fall
along with each of you.
 
However, I strongly believe that we shall see our beloved
fuzzies/canines/felines/whatevers at the Bridge, when we leave this
physical world for the spiritual world.  According to the Torah (Old
Testament - first 5 books), when God created, everything was perfect
and good.  Only mankind fell from grace and sinned.  Also, in the Book
of Isaiah, and also quoted by Jesus of Nazareth, "The Lion shall lay down
with the Lamb, and the Child shall put his hand into the Adders den and
not be harmed" this is in regards to the end of time.  In the New
Testament (The Gospel according to Matthew, Chapter 5, 6, & 7 - The
Sermon on the Mount), Jesus said that "Your Heavenly Father knows when
even the sparrow falls from the sky." I believe that the Great Creator
would not allow His Creatures to die and be no more.  But for the
scientific mind, in physics, it is stated that energy cannot be created
nor destroyed by ordinary means, only change form.
 
Life is energy and that energy changes from the visual form to the spirit
form - this is my belief.
 
I am sorry that I have not been able to assist with various programs to
raise funds for shelters or to go after those pet stores (really prisons),
but I do support you in my heart.  Funds are extremely tight due to
extensive dental and medical concerns.  Besides breaking a tooth (a molar)
which requires root canal (4 of them) and a crown, I am having difficulty
with the pancreas, gallbladder and liver and the tests sofar have been
inconclusive.  I cannot see a specialist until Late August.
 
Just to let you know that I read the mail, but have not been up to
writing - this thing is dragging me down physically, but not spiritually.
 
Keep the faith, Love God, Love the Ferrets and all of God's creatures,
for we all came from the Creator who loves us.  Peace to one and all.
And God's blessings to everyone.  I pray daily for each of you and for
each fuzzy.
