ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week! This guy is handsome!
Meet TITAN!
Titan is not only good looking he is also well mannered and playful. He will sit, lay down, and shake "hands" when asked. Titan likes to play with tennis balls and soft squeaky toys, but you'd better bring two toys, cause he tends to forget to bring the toy back. Titan enjoys going on walks and would make a great hiking buddy. Titan could join a home with another dog (no small dogs); he prefers the company of female dogs or calm respectful male dogs. Titan will need a cat-free home. It is recommended that any children in his forever home are respectful of pets and 8 years old and up. Titan is 2 years old and weighs approximately 75 pounds. If you would like to meet handsome, well-mannered Titan, please fill out an online adoption application at: wishbonepetrescue.org

“HEAVEN IS FOR REAL!” revdminor1945@gmail.com _____________________________________
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men…” – Ecclesiastes 3:11
No. 7 in Series: SEVEN TIMELESS TRUTHS
A character in Thornton Wilder’s play, “Our Town” (1938) said, “Everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal.” How true! THE PROMISE TO BELIEVERS
Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25, 26 NRSV).

Give the Gift of Hope Looking for the Perfect Gift?
OUR ASSURANCE AS BELIEVERS
“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (I John 5:13). OUR EXAMPLE
Everything we believe about eternal life was demonstrated in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He arose. So shall we.
THE BEGINNING AND THE END • A place God has prepared for believers (John 14:2). • A house with many rooms (John 14:2). • It will be far beyond anything we have seen or heard (I Corinthians 2:9). • We will see our loved ones (I Corinthians 13:12, I John 3:2). • We will have new bodies patterned after our Lord’s resurrection body (I Corinthians 15:5457) • We will be “absent from the body but present with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8). • There will be no more death, mourning, crying or pain (Revelation 21:4). • The Lamb is the light of Heaven (Revelation 21:23). WHAT WILL HEAVEN BE LIKE?
The Bible begins with the story of creation (Genesis l, 2) and ends with a description of God’s new creation (The Book of Revelation). Thus, may our faith be in the One who is the “Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End” (Revelation 21:6). Prayer: Dear God, may we be guided by Your way, grounded in Your truth and sustained by Your living and eternal presence in our lives. In Your strong name. Amen.
