WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

SALT FOR THE SOUL

photo credit to Salt Many religions claim Christ and “Christianity.”  In “Christianity vs. Catholicism we addressed the great heresies of the Catholic Church in a Part 5 series. (Part 4 and Part 5 are to come).  Today it was laid on my heart by the Holy Spirit to address the heresies of JW. The entire belief of the true Christian is that Jesus Christ is God who came in the flesh.  The entire book of John speaks to Jesus being GOD.  John 1:1, “ And Jesus/The Word was with God and IS GOD, and Jesus/The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” In Colossians it states that all things were created by and for Jesus Christ and that He “Holds all things together.”  Genesis Chapter one even declared plurality to the Godhead when it says, “God said, Let US create them in OUR image and in OUR likeness.”  God (singular) said, Let US (plural). Jesus prayed to the Father how He “Longed to be BACK in His glory”…When Phillip said, “It will be good enough for us if you show us the Father.”  Jesus said, “Have I been with you so long Phillip and you do not know Me?” Psalm 22 it is Jesus Christ speaking details about His own crucifixion almost 1000 years before Christ was born on earth.  How is Christ telling details like are spoken here?  I will let you read Psalm 22 on your own. Now after stating the above facts, that Jesus Christ is God manifest in human flesh and some of the proof in scripture that Jesus said He is God, how is it even possible that Jehovah’s Witnesses claim that Jesus Christ is ArchAngel Michael?? How do they come to that grandiose conclusion?  The Bible clearly says that, “He lowered Himself EVEN lower than the Angels for a little while.”  That is saying He is higher than Angels and is not an Angel.  Jesus Christ is not a created being like Angels are.  He is the creator God as it is written. “All things invisible and visible, over the earth and under the earth….were created by Jesus Christ and for Jesus Christ and HE HOLDS ALL THINGS TOGETHER.” The Jehovah’s witness utilizes their “New World Translation” which radically opposes the truth in scripture.  The fact that they say Jesus is anyone other than He said He was disqualifies their entire religion.  There are other scary aspects to the heresies therein and we will discuss more of those in the next segment. Jesus Christ is God who came to earth as part of His creation.  The infinite one became finite. The omnipresent one became confined to a human body.  He set aside His glory and power totally relying on the other two in the Godhead while in the flesh.  That is how much God loves you.  He came Himself to die for His creation.
