Bible Reading: Isaiah 6:1-7

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.   Isaiah 6:3, NIV


SUPPOSE THAT YOU were a soccer player and your coach told you that you were invited to a big soccer event tomorrow with all the best soccer players in the city.

You get dressed the next day in your soccer shorts, shirt, socks, and cleats. Your clothes are stained with the mud and blood of many tough games, and you wear that ragged, dirt-spattered uniform with pride.

You go to the sports complex, just like your coach told you, but the fields are empty. Then you notice some lights shining in the field house in the middle of the complex. You jog over, open the door, and step in.

Suddenly you’re in the field house, and you blink your eyes in disbelief as you see some of your teammates and opponents dressed up, in clean, fancy clothes. It’s then you realize that you misunderstood your coach: It’s not a game, it’s a banquet! You look down at the outfit you put on not long ago with such pride; it’s wrinkled and dirty compared to what everyone else is wearing. You’re wearing the same clothes you’ve worn dozens of times around these people. Although you didn’t feel dirty during those times, you feel dirty here.

Well, magnify that feeling about a bazillion times, and you know a little bit of how a prophet named Isaiah felt when he had a vision of God in the temple in Jerusalem. Isaiah saw God sitting on a throne, wearing a kingly robe. He saw God’s angels flying around calling to each other. He felt the whole room shake, and the place started filling with smoke.

How did Isaiah react? Did he smile and wave at God?

  Self-repairing buildings? Engineers make living concrete in construction breakthrough The fungus species Neurospora shows potential in creating building materials with intricate internal structures and diverse architectural forms. A team of researchers has developed a living building material composed of fungal mycelium and bacterial cells capable of self-repairing and surviving for extended periods. Unlike conventional construction materials, this bio-based composite remains viable for weeks, opening up new possibilities for regenerative architecture. The scientists behind the project, based at Montana State University in the USA, say the material is produced at low temperatures and relies on living cells, making it a potentially groundbreaking solution for reducing the environmental impact of the construction industry.

  5 Inventions That Started Out as Something Else  Innovation doesn’t always follow a straight line. Some of history’s most famous inventions, including the microwave, were  born from accidents . Others, though not strictly accidental, ended up serving a completely different purpose than originally intended — such as the blood pressure medication that ended up becoming a famous hair loss remedy.  Silly String Silly String may be a nostalgic party staple now, but it was originally a medical product. In the 1960s, chemist Robert P. Cox and inventor Leonard A. Fish set out to create an instant spray-on cast for broken bones. During their experiments, which included testing upward of  500  different spraying vessels, they discovered the material could be sprayed in long, sticky strands from a certain pressurized can.  Play-Doh Anyone who’s cleaned Play-Doh out of carpet or picked up all its little crumbs knows how messy it can be, so it may come as a surpr...
