The world's largest active volcano began erupting for the first time in 38 years on November 27, 2022. Mauna Loa, located on Hawaii's Big Island, came alive at about 11:30 pm local time. It has been spewing out spectacular fountains of lava as high as 148 feet since. The river of molten lava is inching close to a major highway. But it currently poses no risk to nearby communities.

 We came across an amazing article about a unique musical instrument called the Wintergatan Marble Machine. Built by Martin Molin, this handmade music-box uses 2,000 marbles and a hand-crank to power a range of instruments and it doesn’t only sound beautiful, it looks it too. The Marble Machine is a handmade music box that powers a kick drum, bass, vibraphone and other instruments using a hand crank and 2,000 marbles. With dozens of beautifully carved wooden parts, tracks, pulleys and funnels for collecting and rerouting spent marbles, it’s a true work of art and though marble machines as an art form of their own have a long and complex history, Molin’s is one of the best.

 Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) as they are now called, are finally getting the attention they deserve. On June 9, 2022, NASA announced it had commissioned a study to examine observations of events that "cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena." The announcement comes on the heels of the May 17, 2022, congressional hearings on UFO sightings. Members of the US Department of Defense's (DOD) UFO task force reported they had collected 400 reports of UFOs, mainly from Navy pilots. But months of investigation had revealed no clues on whether they were atmospheric events, enemy aircraft, or extraterrestrial objects. However, the DOD is not giving up. On July 21, 2022, the US government agency announced it was expanding the scope of the UFO office to include both airborne and transmedium UFOs. Transmedium refers to an object's ability to traverse through multiple environments. For instance, anything that can fly through Earth's atmosphere as well as in space, or underwater, would be classified as trans medium.

Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”—and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Psalm 32:5, NIV SUPPOSE YOU WERE walking down your street and a friend of yours suddenly burst out of his house and deliberately knocked you down on the sidewalk. Now suppose that friend said to you, “Hey, it wasn’t my fault. You would’ve done the same thing if you’d had the chance.” How would you feel hearing that sort of thing? You’d be angry, right? OK, suppose the friend said instead, “I didn’t mean anything by it.” How would you feel then? Would you be satisfied with that? More than likely you wouldn’t be satisfied, right? God doesn’t want us to say such things when we make a mistake or do something wrong. Why? Because none of those phrases contains the two necessary ingredients of repentance. Do you know what those two necessary ingredients of repentance are? Confession and apology. Note: The above comes directly from his website. Click here to read more.  How are rangoli designs created?

John 14:27 IT’S NIGHTTIME, only a few hours after Jesus was crucified and buried. The disciples are sitting around together, still in shock from the brutal execution of their beloved Master. The following conversation isn’t in the Bible, but something like it might have happened. “I can’t believe we were just eating dinner with the Master,” Bartholomew says, shaking his head. “It seems like only yesterday.” “That’s because it was yesterday, Bart,” Peter snorts impatiently. “Oh yeah, I knew that,” Bartholomew snaps. Thaddaeus scratches his head. “The Master told us so many things last night during dinner. I wish I had listened better.”... Note: The above comes directly from their website.
