Proverbs 12:10
A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal,
but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
We have a puppy and we have been debating over to get rid of it or keep it. We are not home a lot. The kids love it and the girls have done really well in taking it out, cleaning up it's messes and even our son is learning to be careful around the dog. He will try to pick up the puppy and we tell him "no" and then he just drops it. He loves the animal, but he needs to learn how to love the puppy.
I believe we are into the keeping mod again because it is good for the kids to learn how to care the needs of their animal. I just like playing fetch with him.
We have a neighbor to the church building who does not treat his animals or even people in a good way. He is all into environment but his home environment is worse than any landfill or the treatment of his cats is worse than any hunter would treat his target. His acts of kindness are cruel. It's sad, he needs to recognize the treatment that God wants to give to him through Christ, and will likely only see the treatment from God that those who are wicked outside of Christ will receive.

9/11
In Proverbs 11:7 God's wisdom is seen through Solomon's words:
"When the wicked man dies, his hope perishes; all he expected from his power comes to nothing."
Those who hijacked the airplanes and became murderers, their power ended with their deaths. Their hopes, dreams, faiths, beliefs, legacies all ended in the twinkling of their eyes. Once they took their last breaths, they would have nothing more to say.
Once their wicked plans were accomplished, the goodness of God took over.
God's righteousness was seen in those whose last acts of bravery will shine through the lives of others forever. Their last breaths were taken while trying to save life. The men and women who rushed into the burning buildings to help people get out before the towers collapsed gave their lives to help moms, dads, sons, daughters, husbands and wives live another day. Those who were rescued, will remember those who died in their wickedness and those who died to save. Those who rescued, their hopes, will live on in their children, because their children will want to grow up honoring their loved one for the sacrifice that they made on the behalf of another.
