The Sun, the Moon, and Caterpillar Cocoons


Bible Reading: James 1:17-18

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17, NIV


DO YOU KNOW where glass comes from? How about rubber or penicillin? See if you can match each item in the left column with its source in the right column.

1.RUBBERA. THE SUN
2.SILKB. SEA ANIMALS
3.PENICILLINC. SAND, LIME, AND SODA
4.GLASSD. SHEEP
5.MOONLIGHTE. ELEPHANT TUSKS
6.SPONGESF. MOLD
7.WOOLG. TREES
8.WAXH. CATERPILLAR COCOONS
9.LEATHERI. ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, AND MINERAL OILS
10.IVORYJ. ANIMAL SKINS

So, how many did you get right? More important, what's the point? Well, how about this: Can you add one more answer in the column on the right that would be the source for every one of the things in the left-hand column?

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.
