If you are hungry spiritually and are looking for a sermon to feed your soul, try googling 'Christopher Hudson sermons'. Last week I watched one on Job and how it relates to us in our time now (I can't find it now or I would link it) and this morning, I watched this one, which was so good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57csGx-6AnU
It seems the very first part was missed, but you won't miss it.

So, the last government grab I posted about has been pulled back for now, but here is another gem. The state wants to dictate to local governments how land can be used.

The plan comes amid deadlines to clean up the electricity grid and a movement that has successfully slowed renewable energy development in rural areas.

Oh boy, more 'help' from our government.  Speak out, or better, shout from the rafters, that we do not need this 'help' ...

Oh boy, more 'help' from our government. Speak out, or better, shout from the rafters, that we do not need this 'help' (Just so you can verify this is not a joke, link to CO assembly page: https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb24-1163)

ALERT: Colorado Pet Tax for ALL Animals
Colorado House Bill 24-1163 enters a new level of big government and big taxes. The bill will add a new tax of up to $8.50 (but actually up to $25) on EACH pet and it includes ALL animals, even invertebrates. The tax is paid every year. It also requires every pet to be registered with the State and assigned a “designated caregiver.” If you do not name a “designated caregiver,” the cost for each pet is $25 annually. There is no cap or per household type of maximum taxation. This will also be in addition to any local taxes (like dog licenses).
To summarize how outrageous that is, if someone has 100 aquarium fish, they could be paying $850 annually to have aquariums. If you do not register a “designated caregiver” with the State that means having 100 aquarium fish will cost you $2,500 annually! Ten pet reptiles will cost $85 to $250 annually. 20 assorted pets (dog, cat, hamster, parakeet, tarantula, 2 snakes, three frogs, and 10 fish) would be $170-$500 each year for this new tax. This tax would apply to koi and goldfish in outside ponds, backyard chickens (unless on a bona fide farm or ranch), and all other “pet animals.”
The new “online pet animal registration system” will be created and maintained by the Department of Agriculture. The penalty for not registering your animals is up to $100 per animal (“per unlawful act or violation”). If a good citizen is unaware of this new law, those 100 unregistered aquarium or water garden fish could cost $10,000 in fines!
Per the bill, “pet animal” means: A DOG, CAT, RABBIT, GUINEA PIG, HAMSTER, MOUSE, RAT, GERBIL, FERRET, BIRD, FISH, REPTILE, AMPHIBIAN, INVERTEBRATE, OR ANY OTHER SPECIES OF WILD OR DOMESTIC OR HYBRID ANIMAL SIX MONTHS OF AGE OR OLDER, THAT IS SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR RETAINED FOR THE PURPOSE OF BEING KEPT AS A HOUSEHOLD PET.
The bill does not state any exemption for Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act (PACFA) Program registered animal breeders/sellers. So the tax could apply to each animal in those facilities that is over six months old.
The only animals exempt are “livestock”: working animals (not “pet animals”) on a farm or ranch, and animals raised for “food or fiber production.”
The bill claims it will “connect pet animals with their owners and designated caregivers when and after emergencies occur, and protect pet animals by supporting animal shelters that are caretakers of last resort.” Sounds noble but it will accomplish none of that when people cannot afford to register their pets and also may not want the government taking up more seats in their living rooms. Basically, this bill claims that no person is a responsible pet owner and that people should only be allowed to have pets if they pay more taxes to the government to monitor their pets for them. It is more collective punishment. Because someone abandons their pet, it means that everyone else must pay for it while the people causing any issues will simply not pay the tax.
The bill is titled the “PET ANIMAL REGISTRATION ACT” and it was introduced by Representative Regina English.
The bill has a hearing on Feb. 22 with the House Agriculture, Water & Natural Resources Committee.

For those keeping track, there was another mountain lion sighting on Judge Orr and Yoder Rd. Same guy going the wrong way (I prefer it keep moving east!) or another one? Stay alert out there!
