I can’t imagine living a life without God in my life. He’s my confidant, He’s my advisor, He’s my director.
From Psalm 25:4-5: “Make me to know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all day long.”

Time forever witnessed
Gathered in God’s hands
Blessing with His patience
Every minute planned
Given choice of two ways
Passed on wicked’s advice
Choosing God’s righteous path
Grace pays entry’s price
Faith guiding each next step
Called by God to pause
Waiting for His command
Timeless counsel draws
Spirit, water, and blood
Filled with purity
Believing in God’s Son
Hope’s security
Deeply-rooted faith sown
Watered with God’s love
Overcoming darkness
Harvest’s light above
From 1 John 5:6-8: “This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth. There are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three agree.”

What ancient invention allows people to see through walls?

The early morning scent of a skunk reminds anyone nearby to be on the lookout for this black and white scavenger. The skunk lives throughout the continental United States.
Here are a few quick facts about the skunk:
There are several species in the skunk family. Some of the more common ones include hog-nosed (long, bald snout), hooded (impressive neck ruff), and spotted (much smaller than most). The most abundant species is the striped skunk, with a black body accented by two white stripes running along the back.
Being nocturnal hunters and food gathers, skunk’s strong sense of smell helps them in their pursuit of food. However, they possess extremely poor eyesight.
A skunk’s body is designed to assist in the pursuit of another meal. They possess a stout build with short legs and long bodies. Their muscular front legs feature long and sharp claws, which allow them to be excellent diggers.
Skunks live in small groups (called surfeits) in underground burrows. and their young are called kits. Gestation in females usually lasts about two months, though they can delay until more suitable weather for giving birth. Typically, each liter of kits runs between four and six in number. Many skunks are carriers of rabies, which is fatal to them.
When threatened, skunks own one of nature’s most effective defense systems. With scent glands hidden under the tail, a quick elevation of it will spray a victim up to 12 feet away. A sticky, oily substance with an extreme smell is transmitted as a fine mist. It immediately causes tearing of eyes and choking.
