The NFL (National Football League) commissioner Roger Goodall has suspended Michael Vick indefinitely without pay.In a letter to Vick, Goodell wrote:

“Your admitted conduct was not only illegal, but also cruel and reprehensible. Your team, the NFL, and NFL fans have all been hurt by your actions.
“Your plea agreement and the plea agreements of your co-defendants also demonstrate your significant involvement in illegal gambling. Even if you personally did not place bets, as you contend, your actions in funding the betting and your association with illegal gambling both violate the terms of your NFL Player Contract and expose you to corrupting influences in derogation of one of the most fundamental responsibilities of an NFL player.”

“You have engaged in conduct detrimental to the welfare of the NFL and have violated the league’s Personal Conduct Policy.”

Nike suspended their contract with him last month.

I heard this song, Awesome God, my freshman year in college. Michael W. Smith was giving a concert at the university, and he sang this song.

I was surprised that I liked it so much. The Bible always fascinated me so I read it a few times as a child my curiosity was peaked, and I wanted to learn more, I always thought there were pieces missing and I wanted to learn more. I did.

I decided to include both versions of this song I could not pass up on the beautiful scenes in the first video. It’s truly breathtaking looking at the animals, gorgeous scenery, sighs. Then when I look at the animals, I wonder why in the world do we insist on putting them in separate categories.

This morning I went outside to take the dogs out for a walk and noticed something by my grapevine upon closer inspection I saw it was a deer. I figured it had to be sick or dead because although the deer came fairly close I’ve never seen them act this way.

Upon closer inspection, it confirmed what I had feared one of the does had died during the night. I knew one of the deer was sick. I had seen loose piles of deer feces near my flower garden. I’ll be burying the doe shortly and covering it with something that won’t leave a smell.

Why am I doing that? I don’t want to risk something else getting sick from eating the deer.

I took a picture but have purposely put it under the Read More tab don’t click past this point if you don’t want to see the picture.

I recently discovered this book Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy by Matthew Scully. What’s so interesting about it? Matthew Sculley is a vegan, conservative republican. He was an assistant and a speech writer for President George W. Bush. I always enjoy hearing different perspectives on animal rights. Sweet! I’m buying this book.

All too often I hear that conservatives aren’t concerned about humans, animals, or the environment. This of course is untrue. It never ceases to amaze me how people blindly place inaccurate labels on one another.
