The Buff-Tip Moth
It’s one thing for an animal to blend into its background. Many animals can do this. It’s a completely different level for an animal to perfectly mimic some object in its environment.
An Act Of Resistance
There is a commercial currently out that says, “joy is an act of resistance”. Best I can tell, the poet Toi Derricotte made those words famous in recent days (before the commercial used them).
A Divine Opportunity
Something amazing happened in the calling of the first disciples. When starting His ministry, Jesus searched for the individuals who would pilot His church after His ascension.
Only Hethans Don’t Use Turn Signals
The turn signal on vehicles is one of the most basic accessories. So basic, in fact, that most of us probably take its presence and invention for granted.
The Claw Machine Game
There sits what could quite possibly be the softest, cutest, and most lovable stuffed animal ever to exist. You insert a couple of shiny quarters and the exciting 20-seconds countdown begins. The claw begins to move at your command.
An Empty Chair
Early in the life of David, King Saul had a feast to celebrate the new moon. Two consecutive days David did not attend and thus his assigned seat was vacant (I Samuel 20:18, 24-27).

The Power to Save
Prior to the First Century, the Jews had encountered several seasons of oppression and hardship. They were constantly under the reign of higher worldly powers; Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. Even after their return from exile, they felt the pains of worldly oppression in their homeland
Clutter, Clutter, Toil and Trouble
A few years ago, someone graciously gifted me a great sitting, crimson (Roll Tide) couch for use in my office. I won’t deny that I was quite excited to add it to my office décor. After all, who doesn’t love having a comfy couch available to them?
Light Beyond the Darkness
I recently watched an episode of a National Geography series, Welcome to Earth, in which Will Smith goes 1000 meters (more than 3200 feet) deep in the ocean in a submersible. Now it is important to understand that 1000 meters down is really pretty shallow at the oceans go. The deepest part of the ocean, The Challenger Deep off the coast of Guam is more than 10 times deeper (+11,000 meters or 36,200 feet).
