i am sharing 1 way how i memorize Bible verses. go to Ecclesiastes 9: 17. now, look at the "I" sound, including the "I" sound in the number 9, how many there are, & how soon they are in the verse. i will capitalize all the "I" sounds for you to recognize. "the words of the wIze are heard in quIet more than the crY of him that ruleth among fools".

Where do animals go?

I have pondered this question on several occasions, but am never satisfied with my answer. So, I am now bringing it to you for consideration. It will now be resolved or it might drive you crazy like me.
I live in Texan on about 1 ½ acres of land, (not a huge amount) but remote enough to be home to a wide variety of animals and birds.
We have many birds, rabbits, squirrels, coyotes, you name it. Even get an occasional Roadrunner.
There are many forms of animals and birds which definitely outnumber the people living within the area. So, my question is – Why do you never see any animal or bird on the ground which has died of a natural cause? When you consider the number of animals, you would think that we all would often see them laying on the ground. But that is not the case, unless one gets hit by a car.
It's not that I would prefer to see them, but it kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Thats interesting. I do find dead animals myself, but you would think there would be more.

A dead animal is often the fast easy next meal for another animal - especially if the population count is high and food is scarce.

(best answer I got anyway)

What about Penguins, do they bury their dead or do they generally die by being eaten?

You only need the url... if it has the http part, you can post that as a link and the video will show up, otherwise you
can use the icon above the text messaging box, three dots with a downward facing arrow, to insert the video. Click
that and then select Media, and another app will open where you can Enter media URL, then press Continue...

When the bible says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word
of God is that talking about hearing with the ear or hearing with the heart?
Click to expand...
It cannot mean just hearing sounds, because unless you are deaf you will hear the words.
Hearing must encompass comprehension since Jesus did say some do not hear because
they do not belong to God and also, those who hear will live. It is the sheep who hear.

Good day Suze, there is actually an awful lot I do not know or understand about technology, but posting a video or image is made much easier by little keyboard shortcuts, and since I post a lot of images and work in the photo industry, I learned how to prep files for printing, and that includes sizing and using file extensions. Printing has been a passion of mine for many years, since I discovered darkroom work at the end of my teens, turning twenty while in a design arts course at college, and began my first lab job on the day of my 21st birthday, which I always considered a gift from the Spirit of the Universe, since I was not a believer in those days, though I surely felt blessed to be able to do the thing that I loved for a living. And it truly has been a blessing in many ways, as I was no scholar or academic, having dropped out of high school, and I also dropped out of college early in the second year. Ugh. I felt so lost in those days, and I was! If it were not for my love of the arts and photography and printing especially... and here I am almost fifty years later, having worked in only three labs, yet having seen so many changes in how we do things, digital of course being a big change and almost knocking our industry right out of existence. Yet we have survived so far, and are called a twilight industry. The sun is going down on us... But seriously, in the early 2000s when digital started taking hold, we eventually slowly but surely lost 80% of our business, and 4/5 professional photographers closed their doors for good. With the push of a button on a computer monitor you can send one image to millions of viewers and never have a hard copy file of that image printed at all! That is the way the world has gone, and yet there are those who still want prints, and we have our faithful clientele... and I chuckle to myself, for one year at Halloween, I must have been around nine or ten, I drew dials and knobs and functional display windows on a cardboard box that I cut arm holes out of, and went as a computer LOL. Believe me, it was very basic and nothing fancy, and that describes my knowledge base as well: functional. Functional and very basic. So I wondered what device you used because sizing images is really quite a simple process if you are not on a phone. Many things about phones still baffle me...

Why wasn't mexico made a part america?




AI Overview

Mexico was not made a part of America primarily because, after the Mexican-American War, the United States acquired a significant portion of Mexico's northern territory, but not the entire country.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the war, ceded 55% of Mexican territory to the U.S.,

including present-day California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and parts of other states.

While the U.S. was militarily victorious and occupied Mexico City,

it declined to annex all of Mexico, citing concerns about governing a large,
Spanish-speaking population.
