"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

Let Your Voice Be Heard 25:51

7 napja25:51

25:51

We are all familiar with the childhood chant of "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me." Although this may be true for some, we know that name calling (bullying) has hurt and deeply harmed many young people. Scripture says that "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Words have meaning and power. Christians need to speak up and use their voices for good.…

One Samaritan Woman 34:38

14 napja34:38

34:38

The narratives in scripture are filled with meaning about God, life and ourselves. We just need to take the time to read them thoroughly. Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well of Sychar is one such narrative. It just overflows with meaning like the living water which Jesus promised would become "a well of water springing up to eternal life" in those who drank of it.…

Blessed Is... 34:48

34:48

God blesses all people though His creation and graciousness. Everyone can enjoy the beauty of our world, tasty food, the love of family and friends, etc. But beyond such blessings, some people are blessed in a multitude of other ways, even carrying over into the next life. And having a "next life" is one of those blessings! Are you one of these people?…

Influencers abound these days on social media with podcasts and videos everywhere. Of course, God will never be upstaged and has been the greatest Influencer of all since the beginning, warning Adam and Eve about the forbidden fruit, and counseling Cain about his anger. Jesus came as "the Light of the world." But God has given His people the great honor to be the greatest influencers of the day by being "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world." Their influencing has eternity in view.…

Lessons from a Queen 28:45

28:45

When the Queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's wisdom and the splendor of his court, she had to come and see for herself if it were true. Jesus praised her for her honest perception of all she heard and saw saying that she would rise up in judgment against His own generation who did not believe in Him. We can learn a lot from this queen.…

As promised, we want to look at some scriptures in this lesson which especially bring us joy, hope and comfort. We need such words from God to inspire faith and to strengthen our faith in times of trouble and distress. We all have some of these "go to" scriptures which are particularly meaningful to us. Perhaps we'll use one of yours in this message.…

God's book contains many of the saddest words and most distressing events which we will ever read about. They can bring tears to your eyes and make one's heart to hurt.

All Means All 30:12

30:12

Jesus' instructions in Matthew about making disciples (28:18-20), include several uses of the word "all." Some of these speak of an inclusiveness and others of an exclusiveness. We need to correctly understand what Jesus is teaching us and telling us to do. We need to remind ourselves that all means all.…

Covenants, Old and New 39:31

13 weeks39:31

39:31

Covenants have been the primary way in which God has dealt with individuals and peoples from early on. Some of these early covenants are still in effect, but some are not. Misunderstanding these differences has led to a lot of confusion in what people believe today and how they try to serve and worship God. In fact, many Christians don't even know what a covenant is!…

Not Your Usual Family Reunion 36:28

14 weeks36:28

36:28

When Joseph's brothers return to Egypt to buy grain they bring Benjamin, a stipulation by "the man." When Joseph's silver cup is planted in Benjamin's sack and "discovered," Judah steps up to plead for the lad since he had become surety for him to his father Jacob. This is too much for Joseph, and he breaks down in tears as he reveals himself, telling his brothers that God has been behind it all in order to save them during the famine. Since both shepherds and Hebrews were loathsome to Egyptians, how else could God have them sheltered there except by having a Hebrew over the whole land?…

Revenge is BIttersweet 33:02

15 weeks33:02

33:02

The famine is so severe that Jacob sends his sons to buy grain in Egypt. Joseph recognizes them, but they don't know him. He speaks harshly to them and treats them rather roughly. He accuses them of being spies and finally holds Simeon hostage until they go back to Canaan and return with their younger brother. All of this sparks guilt in the brothers seeing these events coming upon them for what they had done previously to Joseph.…

From the Pit to the Palace 37:31

37:31

Joseph languished in prison for two years, but when Pharaoh had dreams, the chief cupbearer remembered him. Not only was Joseph able to interpret Pharaoh's dreams, but he was also able to give him a remedy for the coming seven years of devastating famine. All this was by the power of God, of course. Pharaoh was so moved that he elevated Joseph to the second place of power in all of Egypt with all its benefits. Joseph immediately went to work to prepare for the coming seven years of famine.…

Joseph prospers in the prison because God is with him, and he applies himself. When the incarcerated chief cupbearer and chief baker have dreams, Joseph offers God's interpretations for them. The chief cupbearer's dream indicates that he will be restored to his position with Pharaoh. Joseph asks him to remember his plight, but the chief cupbearer fails to do so. Joseph is forgotten in the prison, but not by God.…

Joseph prospered as Potiphar's slave in Egypt because God was with him. But he got thrown into jail because of false accusations made against him by Potiphar's wife because he refused her advances. But even in the prison God caused him to prosper. Joseph is a great example for all of us when we are in that "life isn't fair" mindset.…
