This morning I took my wife and daughter to the pet store. We live in an apartment so a 'real' pet isn't an option. I'd love a dog (not a cat), maybe one day.
So we opted for the 3 gallon aquarium instead with 4 male guppies. It was fun getting it set up and checking out the fish that frantically swim away from the great claw (net) that appears from the sky and abducts their friends from their little aquatic home. Fish are funny. They make me laugh because their lives are so simple.
As I knelt down with my 13 month old and looked at the fish, I didn't want to miss out on the teachable moment. So I began to explain the Dominion Principle in Genesis 1 and 9. She was amazed and glad that mankind has been given such authority over the animal kingdom. My wife chimes in as we talk, "yes Kate, and we could eat the fish too if we wanted".
Just another reminder that theology is practical
