Amazing Creatures

God has created a truly diverse and amazing world.  On Saturday I shared about the Japanese puffer fish that creates complex and beautiful sand art on the sea floor to attract a female using only its fin.  

Another creature that astounds me with their innate skills is the tailorbird.

Living in the Light

“If anyone claims, ‘I am living in the light,’ but hates a fellow believer, that person is still living in darkness” (1 John 2:9 NLT). What does it mean to live in the light?  Explore with us  as we continue our series on the book of 1 John.

In His Name

I recently had fraudulent activity on one of my credit cards.  The person went on a shopping spree, purchasing at various cell phone stores, online stores, grocery stores, etc. All in all, over $2500 worth.

I had to call my credit card company and explain that I had not authorised those transactions; they had been purchased “in my name” without my consent.

Have you ever wondered about the meaning of the third commandment, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain” (Exodus 20:7 NKJV)?

The “Done” List

I’ve been going through a weight-loss program called “Noom.”  Truth be told, I did really well the first 2 weeks (lost 2 kgs) but then it was my birthday weekend, we had our father-in-law with us for 3 weeks, and many more excuses later I’ve gained back everything and then some.  But while I haven’t been 100% committed to the nutrition, exercise, and sleep recommendations on the program, I have been reading the daily tips pretty faithfully.

“Noom” provides psychological, scientific and practical tips each day to help you modify your thinking & behaviour.

Today, it told me the physiological effects of stress (that includes weight gain) and reminded me to start each day with a smile and enjoy JOMO (joy of missing out).  It also told me to forget my to-do list and start the day with a “done” list.  Huh?
