God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong (sin boldly), but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides. We, however, says Peter (2. Peter 3:13) are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth where justice will reign.

I'm glad you enjoyed them. The baby is sitting on my shoulder right now pecking at my ear.

I used to have a neighbour who would call his Golden Retriever "Death Breath"...

Had a guinea pig named pork and a hamster named ham (in same cage)

Birds - Kitchener, ffinch ffarimir (kudos to anyone who gets the reference) and Mahdi,
though ff should have been named Gordon, in hindsite.

Oh, and a pigeon - Marshal Blucher.

My grandmother had a cat called Sweeny Todd.

My dog's full name was Skipper ASF-5 Concord in honor of my Dad's first ship when he was in the Navy. Obviously we just called him Skipper.

My first pet was a hamster that I named Starbuck.

I had a beautiful Lynx (tabby) point Siamese girl named Samantha. She lived to be 20.

One of my favorite tennis players, David Ferrer, has two cats and a dog. French tennis player Marian Bartoli is also a cat lover.

The naming of cats is a difficult matter.
It isn't just one of your holiday games.

I love Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats!

The Naming Of Cats -- by T. S. Eliot

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey --
All of them sensible everyday names.

There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter --
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?

Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover --
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.

When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

^Absolutely

I'd have to go all kinds of name books and such for me to tell you all the names I like. I'll just mention those I've given to pets and a few critters I've met and liked their name. Pixie, Whisper, Taboo, Eclipse, Tumnus, Iru, Eitri, Tomais, Sola, Kyoki, Minu, Pasha, Maska, Neeko, Calista and Hacia

The cats at our vet office are pretty unique but I wouldn't have the fainest at trying to spell them lol

"Naia" was the best I could do for my cat. We can both pronounce it.

What name did she pick for herself?

She's not telling me.
