It’s coming soon.  This weekend, our first hog will be meeting his ultimate demise.

He’s quite a bit bigger than he was when he was just a little shoat.  The pictures d he gravity of slaughtering animals.  (Check out the first conversation here.) On how sadness is appropriate.  On how tears are justified.  We spoke of our hope in Christ, how that we look to the blessed day when death is no longer common, but has been forever wiped away.

May our hearts always be this tender toward our stock.  The righteous man regards the life of his beast. (Proverbs 12:10)
