Feral hogs date back to Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, who brought them to Florida as a food source in 1539. Later, American colonists allowed some domesticated hogs to feed in the woods, freeing many of them forever.

But as they continue to escape from farm pens, the state of Virginia is now acting to reduce population of wild pigs. These are the most invasive animals in U.S. There’s been a population explosion of these large, wild animals in the Virginia woods, and it’s not the cute, doe-eyed kind that conjures images of Bambi.

SUNDAY SERMON

Submitted by ub on

Last week and 150 years ago at Gettysburg, Lincoln spoke two minutes. Edward Everett, the keynote speaker, spoke two hours. Lincoln read the 271 words written on a sheet of paper. On this Baptismal Sunday and the Bible Study I wish I could deliver a two minute sermon. Actually we are struck by God’s grace, not listening to a long sermon but just one biblical passage somewhere! St. Paul quotes one verse from Habakkuk: “The one who is righteous will live by faith.” (Romans 1:17) That’s the key passage of his entire letter.
