Go Figure! By Josh McDowell

 Go Figure!   Bible Reading: Romans 13:8-10 When you love others, you complete what the law has been after all along. Romans 13:8,  The Message IN THE MOOD to amaze your friends and astound your family? Well, then, try this simple (but cool) trick: Choose a number-any number. Double it. Add twelve to that number. Divide your new number by two, then subtract your original number. Now add one. What answer did you come up with? Seven, right? If you followed the instructions at every step, your answer will be seven. It will always be seven. Whether you start with 1 or 500 million, you'll always come out with the number seven. Always. Every time. That's how the problem is designed. You can't miss as long as you do the math right. Go ahead, try it with another number! To Read More Click Here 

“Insulating” Yourself by Josh McDowell

               “Insulating” Yourself Bible Reading: Psalm 119:9-11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11, NIV IF YOU READ yesterday's devotional reading, you learned about a thirteen-year-old diabetic named Bailey. When Bailey first discovered that she had diabetes, she learned that because her body was no longer producing insulin, she would have to give herself shots of insulin. Without the insulin, her body could not convert her food into the energy she needs to do the things thirteen-year-olds like to do. Every morning before she eats breakfast, she gets a needle and puts first one kind of insulin into the needle (the kind of insulin that acts quickly) and then another kind (which acts slowly). Then she pokes the needle into either her arm or leg. Then, in the evening, before supper, she has to do the same thing again. To Read The Rest Click Here 

TKSST: Kangaroo Boxing Fight – BBC Life Story

Image
 Kangaroo Boxing Fight - BBC Life Story  In addition to their females’ pouches, kangaroos are known for their “boxing” skills, and here’s the reason why: Male kangaroos often fight to establish dominance or win a mate. Fights consist mostly of balancing on their tails while trying to knock their opponent off balance. Also: A bit of wrestling. Some background from Wikipedia : Winners are decided when a kangaroo breaks off the fight and retreats. Winners are able to push their opponents backwards or down to the ground. They also seem to grasp their opponents when they break contact and push them away. The initiators of the fights are usually the winners. These fights may serve to establish dominance hierarchies among males, as winners of fights have been seen to displace their opponent from resting sites later in the day.

The news of the impact inspired more people to participate. In 2008, over 50 million people in 5,000 cities observed the event. The numbers have only grown since. Earth Hour is now the world's largest grassroots movement for the environment. It is celebrated in 190 countries and territories.

  Shape-Shifting Plastic May Be In Your Future MARCH 18, 2024 BY ALVARO ARAGON  - 392 WORDS What if you could  transform  the plastic spoon you used at lunch into a cup for your water and then change it back to a spoon? That is  precisely  what researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering had in mind when they created "pluripotent plastic." "Rather than taking all the different plastics with you, you take this one plastic with you and then just give it the  properties  you need as you  require, " Professor Stuart Rowan told  The New York Times. The magical material is made using  polymers  that can be  modified  by tempering. The  technique  is often used in metalwork. It requires heating the metal to a  specific  temperature and then chilling it. Note: This comes directly from their website. Click here for more.

Where’s Waldo? By Josh McDowell

 Where’s Waldo? Bible Reading: Hebrews 12:1-2 Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Hebrews 12:2, The Message DO YOU KNOW where Waldo is? How about Beverly, Martin, Murray, or Stanley? You can even find Elvas if you know where to look. We're not talking about the Waldo you look for in picture books. This Waldo is a "where," not a "who." So are Beverly, Martin, Murray, and Stanley. Those aren't the names of people but of places. Waldo is located in the state of Kansas. Beverly is in Massachusetts, Martin is in Czechoslovakia, and Murray is in Utah. You'll find Stanley in the Falkland Islands and Elvas (not Elvis Presley but the town of Elvas) in Portugal. If you tried to find those places by trial and error, by roaming around, or even by searching for them on a road map, you'd be looking a long time-and probably wouldn't ever find some of them! But with a little help from something called a GPS, it would be a

"Yyyyyesss!" Raybann shouted. He grabbed Soloplex and started twirling him around and around in a dizzying dance of celebration in the thin air above the earth. "Did you see that?" Soloplex shouted. "Whoosh!" They turned and peered together at the scene below them. The Israelites stood, high and dry, on the banks of the Red Sea. They had just crossed to freedom and safety as Raybann and Soloplex, under instructions from God, had rolled back the waters of the sea. The Israelites had hurried across the channel on the miraculously dry ground, while the armies of Egypt pursued them on horses

Thinking in New Ways by Josh McDowell

Image
 Thinking in New Ways Bible Reading: Ephesians 4:17-23 Instead, there must be a spiritual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes.   Look at the arrangement of dots below. Without lifting your pencil, can you draw four straight lines in such a way that at least one line goes through each dot? How’d you do? It’s impossible, you say? Can’t be done? Think again. It can be done, but it requires breaking out of your usual way of thinking. Did you consider starting your straight lines only on one of the dots, or did you consider the possibility that the straight lines could extend beyond the figure of nine dots? To read more click link
