Abbott "Pete" Smith, D.V.M.
June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010
Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017). A graduate of Colorado State University and a well-known veterinarian in southeast Ohio, Dr. Smith continues to motivate and inspire.
A veterinarian is exposed to life, death, miracles,
long-suffering – all the effects of life – every day. For Dr. Smith, he was
curious about the heavens and the afterlife; he knew it was real.
In his lifetime, he came upon and was fascinated with The Urantia Book, a book said to have been
written (or at least in part) by the Archangel Gabriel. Dr. Smith’s widow,
Jody, said they read the book together at their kitchen table daily. They read
it several times cover to cover. The couple would contemplate and discuss each
chapter. “The Urantia Book has the most beautiful description of Jesus,”
Jody said.
Here, The Urantia Foundation, provides a description of The
Urantia Book…
The Urantia Book, first published by Urantia
Foundation in 1955, presents us with the origin, history, and destiny of
humanity. It answers questions about God, life in the inhabited universe, the
history and future of this world, and it includes an uplifting narrative of the
life and teachings of Jesus.
The Urantia Book portrays our relationship with
God the Father. All human beings are the sons and daughters of a loving God and
therefore brothers and sisters in the family of God. The book provides new
spiritual truth for modern men and women and a pathway to a personal
relationship with God.
Building on the world's religious
heritage, The Urantia
Book describes an endless destiny for humankind, teaching that
living faith is the key to personal spiritual progress and eternal survival. It
also describes God’s plan for the progressive evolution of individuals, human
society, and the universe as a whole.
Many people around the world have
said that reading The
Urantia Book has profoundly inspired them to reach deeper
levels of spiritual growth. It has given them new meaning to life and the
desire to be of service to humanity.
We encourage you to read it as well
and discover for yourself its ennobling message.
Personally, I had never heard of The Urantia Book until
I met Jody. Now I have my own copy and read it often. I find the book inspiring
and motivating. I hope you will take the time to read it with an open mind. Let
me know your thoughts about the book.

Stay well.
