NOVEMBER 17 "DEVELOPMENT SPIRITUAL/PHYSICAL"

 Defending Olympic champion Usain Bolt may be the fastest human on two legs, but he would struggle to outpace a raft of animals, including horses, which would leave him nearly 10 seconds behind over 200 metres.


Jamaican sprinter Bolt, currently the fastest man in the world, could not match greyhounds, cheetahs, pronghorn antelope, and horses for sheer pace. Professor Craig Sharp, from the Centre for Sports Medicine and Human Performance at Brunel University in Britain, has highlighted a range of animals whose speed and strength easily beats that of our most elite athletes. Humans can run at a maximum speed of 23.4 miles per hour. That kind of speed gives them the egde – but only just – over the Dromedary camel, with a top speed of 22mph (35.3kmh), or 9.8 metres/second. A cheetah is about twice as fast as the world’s top sprinters. A cheetah is around twice as fast as the world’s top sprinters at 64mph, but the pronghorn antelope also puts in a very respectable 55mph. Then, of course, there are thoroughbred racehorses, the fastest of which has managed 55mph and greyhounds at 43mph.

We know that Usain Bolt obviously grew up in a healthy developmental process, of crawling, to walking, to running, to running, to running fast. Nobody asked Hussein Bolt to race a horse when he was running track as a softmore.

He would not be racing horses until he had raced:

Little boys

Then big boys

Then men,

Then the fastest men; And eventually to race horses.

In Jeremiah 12, God also makes this reference, “how will you race with horses if you faint when you race with men”.

In the spiritual realm, just like the physical realm, there are developmental stages of progression, growth, before we can move on to the next.

OCTOBER 15 "RE-UP - MARRIED AGAIN!"

Paul Chudnow, 71 and Phyllis Chudnow, also 71 decide after 50 years to get hitched for another 50. The mood was lighthearted before the 7:30 p.m. service. "I figured if you can last 50 years, you might as well look for another [50 years]," said Phyllis Chudnow, 71, who will be married to Paul Chudnow, 71, for 51 years in June. "It's something to celebrate," Paul said. The couple lives in Fort Lauderdale . What happened 50 years ago I’m sure is very special to this couple, but even more special, even more meaningful, is that 51 years later, whatever they felt, whatever moment they had, 51 years ago, it’s still going on 51 years later! This couple, “has it going on” beyond what any deluded teenager thinks about “how they have it going on”, this is the real deal!

MAY 13 "EVOLUTION VS. CREATION"

WHY VENUS SPINS THE  WRONG WAY -AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL Our neighboring planet Venus is an oddball in many ways. For starters, it spins in the opposite direction from most other planets, including Earth, so that on Venus the sun rises in the west. Not that it happens often: a day there lasts a little more than 243 Earth-days, actually making it longer than a Venusian year, which is only about 224 Earth-days long. Many scientists believe that the long days are a result of the sun's strong pull on the planet. But scientists are still puzzled by Venus's retrograde, or backward, rotation. Evolution teaches that creation started by the "Big Bang Theory"; thence sending all sorts of particulars flying through the explosion through the momentum of a blast. If that were the case, the momentum of the blast, if we can somehow take a grand leap of faith that the blast created planets (big leap I know) than we can only conclude the planets would all be spinning in t...
