Storms
"Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping." Matthew 8:24
Who Created All of These?
My family and I recently returned from a trip to London, England. We had a great time, found the British people to be wonderful hosts and managed to get our ten bags to and from the United States without any serious mishaps. One of our site trips was a day spent in Oxford, one of my favorite towns.
Measuring Time: Girl Scout Cookies, Tree Rings, and Star Trails
It’s that season again. We just had to stop and buy some Girl Scout cookies. We’re supporting a good cause, right? But darn it, those thin mints are so addictive. I’d believe you if you told me they had drugs in them!
Seen and Unseen: Sports, Comets, and Antimatter
Second Corinthians 4:18 says, “Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen, but to the things that are unseen, for the things that are visible are temporal, brief, and fleeting, but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.” (Amplified Bible)
Aurora, Geodes and Jellyfish: Electric Design
Ever look at the Northern Sky late at night and see those weird Aurora? When it’s really dark and cold, I’m told they can dance like the wind. Why is that? The more we learn about this phenomenon, the stranger it seems. Galileo named the Northern Lights the Aurora Borealis and thought it was light reflected from the morning sky. What space travel has taught us is that these strange lights are actually caused by billions of electrons emitted from a solar storm. So they dance like the wind because they really are an electrical wind! And they are seen on most of the planets.
