How to Get There From Here By Josh McDowell






How to Get There From Here


Bible Reading: Psalm 119:57-64

I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your statutes. Psalm 119:59



IT'S HARD to have any sympathy for these oddballs:

Girl genius Lotta Graymatter graduated from the university and entered law school at age twelve. But in seven years of law school, Ms. Graymatter has failed every class she has taken. "Law books are so heavy, and they don't have pictures," Lotta explained to her disappointed family. I’ll just have to become a lawyer my own way."

With his dying breaths, a scientist dictated to his assistant, Sinus Naselmeister, a secret formula that would cure the common cold and surely win Naselmeister a Nobel Prize. After typing the formula into his computer, Naselmeister shut down the machine and began experimenting. His best medicine so far is a cough syrup that tastes so bad even lab rats won't take it.

You can't become a lawyer if you don't read the textbooks and pass the bar exam. And you can't develop a cure for the common cold if the formula is rotting on your hard drive.

HistoryFacts: Nine Cities Have Served As America's Capital

Image
  F rom 1776 to 1800, the United States capital bounced around between  nine different cities . This frequent relocation was due to a mix of safety concerns amid the American Revolutionary War and a lack of a bureaucratic infrastructure in one centralized place. Philadelphia served as the nation’s first capital (at the time, the capital was considered to be the city where Congress met and enacted legislation) after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. But due to safety concerns regarding a potential British attack on the city, Congress relocated to Baltimore, Maryland, on December 20, 1776, and the seat of government remained there for just over two months.  Congress returned to Philadelphia in March 1777, but fled once again due to the British occupation of the city that September. Delegates retreated further into Pennsylvania, settling in Lancaster for a single day on September 27, 1777, and then moving to York. After the British army departe...

InterestingFacts: Americal's First Theme Park was Focused on Santa Claus

Image
America's first theme park was focused on Santa Claus. In most cities, Christmas comes once a year… unless you live in Santa Claus, Indiana, the self-proclaimed home of the holiday season and America’s first theme park: Santa Claus Land. While amusement parks have  existed in the U.S. since the 1840s , at the beginning the general idea was just having fun. It wasn’t until 1946, with Santa Claus Land’s opening, that amusement parks  began developing specific themes . The attraction took advantage of the town’s unique name, hoping to draw in visitors who wanted to experience a bit of holiday spirit any time of year, and especially youngsters keen to meet St. Nick himself. Owner Louis Koch, who built the theme park as a retirement project, planned the destination with children in mind; his original park featured a toy shop, doll displays, children’s rides, and a restaurant. Over time, Koch also added a mini circus, deer farm, wax museum, and live entertainment. But Santa Claus La...

InterestingFacts: It's Technically Impossible to be "Double-Jointed"

Image
  It’s technically impossible to be “double-jointed.” Growing up, many people encounter that one friend who seems to be especially flexible — thumbs curve back, limbs jut out at awkward angles, and legs bend with unparalleled pliability. While this contortionist act is often said to be the result of being “double-jointed,” such a medical  diagnosis doesn’t actually exist . Instead, a large portion of humanity is  best described  as having “hypermobility” or “joint laxity.” This means that some people are born with loose ligaments or other bone oddities that make them more flexible than most. For the majority, hyperflexibility isn’t harmful, but a small percentage — those with  joint hypermobility syndrome  — can experience pain. So in the end, all humans have the same number of joints, but as for the tautness of our ligaments? Well, that’s a different story. Note:  The above comes directly from the Interesting Facts website.
