Hi friends! Beautiful day today, don't you think? I sure do.
Everything can be crazy in the world, but if we know the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are in good hands! -God's Hands! And that's the best place to be.

I wanted to share this article with you. I thought it was interesting:
Big Bugs More Evidence of Eden
For a long time, scientists have puzzled over fossil evidence that dragonflies once grew two-foot wingspans and millipedes were 5 feet long. Now they have discovered a possible reason: more oxygen. Insects do not have lungs to process oxygen but have holes in their exoskeletons to allow air to circulate through hollow tubes called tracheae.
Air passes through the tracheae directly to the cells that process oxygen into energy.
The amount of oxygen available determines how far oxygen can travel down the tube,
according to the scientist doing the study. Thus, with more oxygen in the air, the tubes could be longer and allow the insect to grow larger.
Experiments with insects in oxygen-enriched chambers made them grow larger.
The present oxygen content of air is about 21 percent. A level of 31-35% may have been enough to grow the larger insects.
This is exactly the range that other scientists have found in the air bubbles in fossilized tree sap (amber) . This oxygen-rich atmosphere, and it's reduction, also can explain what happened to the dinosaurs; a drop in the oxygen level in the atmosphere would put these huge animals in jeopardy. Their nostrils and air passages were not large enough to supply sufficient oxygen to their lungs if the oxygen to their lungs was at present levels. They would soon die or be limited to a much smaller size.* -Taken from the Nov/Dec 2007 issue of Battle Cry (Chick Publications: www.chick.com)
(I heard a few years ago that Adam and Eve might have been
a bit bigger than us because of the oxygen levels.
Who but God can really know? We'll just have to wait and see.)
