Enjoy a G.O.A.T.

June 16, 2026 - Famed boxer Muhammad Ali called himself the "Greatest of All Time," but is was his wife who coined the acronym "G.O.A.T." Beyond Ali, the term originally pointed to other well-known athletes, then moved on to refer to musicians and other public figures. Now, it's far game to just about anyone who wants to use.

Want to look and feel your best? Check out "G.O.A.T Haircuts" in Utah and Arizona. Want some cozy clothes this upcoming winter? "G.O.A.T. USA" has you covered.

Since the term has expanded far beyond famous individuals, I figure I can do some expanding of my own. How about animals? Can a cow be a G.O.A.T.? Can a chicken be a G.O.A.T.? Can a goat be a G.O.A.T.? Why not!

When was the last time you hung out with a G.O.A.T. goat or other critters near you? Here's a few ideas to get you started:

1. If you have pets, put your phone and other distractions aside and have some good cuddle time with them.
2. When was the last time you visited your local zoo? You don't need kids in tow to check out the "lions and tigers and bears, oh my"!
3. While your interaction with zoo animals will be from a distance, is there a petting zoo nearby where you can get up close and personal with God's creatures?
4. Is there a cat café near you? For an hourly fee, you can hold, pet, and snuggle a cat and purchase hot or cold drinks. At Tinker's Cat Café in Salt Lake City, you can also enjoy local pastries.
5. If you really want to bring the cuteness of the animal into your home, and currently don't have a pet, would you consider adoption or fostering?

Whether you have a G.O.A.T cat or dog in your home, find one at a local shelter or café, or visit a zoo, animals are one of God's perfect ways to feel His love.

So until next time, always keep your eye on the One that loves you most. Ciao!
