What is your game plan in 2024 

2024 two months in the books and still time 

to get your life on the right path. 

March has arrived, Spring Training Games are 

being played as we speak. Cactus League in 

Arizona and the Grapefruit League in Florida. 

The first day of Spring is March 19th just a few 

days after St Patrick’s day which falls on 

Sunday March 17th 2024. Church and Beer day 

for some! “Who was St. Patrick? St. Patrick, 

the patron saint of Ireland, is one of 

Christianity’s most widely known figures. But 

for all of his prevalence in culture—namely the 

holiday held on the day of his death that bears 

his name his life remains somewhat of a mystery. 

Many of the stories traditionally associated with 

St. Patrick, including the famous account of his 

banishing all the snakes from Ireland, are false, 

the products of hundreds of years of exaggerated 

storytelling. St Patrick wasn’t Irish. St. Patrick 

was born in Great Britain—not Ireland—to 

wealthy parents near the end of the fourth 

century. He is believed to have died on March 

17, around 460 A.D. 

Although his father was a Christian deacon, it 

has been suggested that he probably took on 

the role because of tax incentives and there is no 

evidence that Patrick came from a particularly 

religious family. At the age of 16, Patrick was 

taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders who 

were attacking his family’s estate. They 

transported him to Ireland where he spent six 

years in captivity. (There is some dispute over 

where this captivity took place. Although many 

believe he was taken to live in Mount Slemish 

in County Antrim, it is more likely that he was 

held in County Mayo near Killala. 

John 3:16 

For God so loved the world that he gave his 

one and only Son, that whoever believes in 

him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

During this time, he worked as a shepherd, 

outdoors and away from people. Lonely and 

afraid, he turned to his religion for solace, 

becoming a devout Christian. (It is also 

believed that Patrick first began to dream of 

converting the Irish people to Christianity 

during his captivity.” - history.com 

More St Patrick 

“Another legend, probably the most 

popular, is that of the shamrock, which has 

him explain the concept of the Holy Trinity, 

three persons in one God, to an unbeliever 

by showing the example of the three-leaved 

plant with one stalk. Traditionally, the Irish 

have worn shamrocks, the national flower of 

Ireland, in their lapels on St. Patrick’s Day, 

March 17.” - Britannica

Do Animals Go to Heaven 

Many Christian leaders have also addressed the question of what happens to animals after they die. 

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, taught that humans are stewards of—and responsible for the care 

of—God’s creation. When they failed to protect His perfect creation, humans sinned against God, and when 

pain and suffering then entered the world, animals had to endure it, too. The bond God had created was 

broken, and humans’ exploitation of and cruelty to animals began. Wesley spoke with anticipation of a new 

creation in which God would restore animals to their intended glory. 

Martin Luther, who founded the Lutheran church, held a view similar to Wesley’s, saying, “In Paradise there 

was complete harmony between man and animals; one day again that harmony will be restored and all creation 

will be made anew as Christ will be in all and all.” 

Pope John Paul II confirmed that “[n]o human being can be justified in claiming absolute ownership of animals 

for the simple reason that God alone owns creation. Animals do not simply exist for us nor belong to us. 

They exist primarily for God and belong to God. The whole work of creation belongs to the plan of salvation, 

‘the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things.’” 

In his book Heaven, Randy Alcorn writes, “Horses, cats, dogs, deer, dolphins, and squirrels—as well as the 

inanimate creation—will be beneficiaries of Christ’s death and resurrection. … If we believe God is their 

Creator, that He loves us and them, that He intends to restore His creatures from the bondage they experienced 

because of our sin, then we have biblical grounds for not only wanting but expecting that we may be with 

them again on the New Earth.” 

Scripture and many of those whom God called to share His message have explained that He created animals, 

blessed them, and called them good and that one day they will be part of His restored perfect kingdom. It’s 

important to note that God doesn’t differentiate among species, even though it might be more convenient for 

some humans to believe that the dogs and cats they share their homes with—but not the chicken they just ate 

for dinner—will be with them in heaven. Some people might picture a heaven with doves and majestic elephants—but 

not the tiny mouse they killed in a glue trap. Humans don’t get to make those determinations, 

though. God does, and His choice is clear. 

We don’t have to wait for a new kingdom in order to live in harmony with the rest of God’s creation. Right 

now, we can refuse to exploit or abuse animals for experimentation, food, clothing, entertainment, or any 

other reason, thus honoring Jesus’ commandment to “love one another.”
