That was Caleb's suggestion as he came rushing in with the good news. (I'm not sure what he was implying about my previous posts...) Yesterday, he went hunting all alone behind our house, and killed a squirrel. This was his first time actually killing something while he was out hunting alone, and he was so proud. He said, "I was just sitting there praying, and I said, 'Lord, I know I can shoot that squirrel. I'm not asking for you to help me shoot it, I just need You to send one my way.' Then, I looked up, and there he was! Ain't the Lord good?"
I know, it's just a squirrel, but I love that he's learning to talk to the Lord personally. Hunting is all he thinks about right now, but one day he'll be thinking about a job, a wife, children. I pray he'll always go to his Lord with his needs and questions.

What a fine young man!
Just a squirrel? Your kid is just a kid...doesn't matter what it is...it's a living thing. Great guidance to encourage your boy to kill living things...I don't think "God" would encourage things like that...especially to young kids. You might want to rethink what you are encouraging him to do...serial killers start off by killing small....
Perhaps your "god" doesn't "encourage things like that", but then again your god is just a figment of your imagination, and he/she can do whatever YOU will him/her to do. However, the GOD OF THE BIBLE, has given man dominion over all the earth (Gen. 1:26, 9:3), and says clearly that people like you are changing the truth of God into a lie, serving the creature more than the Creator (Rom. 1:19-32); and furthermore, you're believing (and spreading) and "doctrine of devils" (I Tim. 4:1-4). I'm praying for your repentance.
