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?

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?

I used embed code for the video. I do not know why it is showing code.
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...

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.
