As winter settles over the northern hemisphere of our planet, many kinds of creatures are moving toward hibernation. True hibernation is much more than just a deep, prolonged sleep. In fact, many animals that are popularly believed to hibernate, like bears, are not true hibernators. A wintering bear's body temperature seldom falls below 86 degrees, so bears are easily awakened. True hibernators actually need several hours to awaken.The ground squirrel is a true hibernator. Its hibernation pattern is triggered by an internal clock that causes hormone changes. These changes not only lower the squirrel's temperature, metabolic breathing and heart rate, but also changes the way its nervous system and cell membranes operate. If the squirrel's nervous system and cell membrane operation were not modified for hibernation, the other changes would kill it.Once the squirrel is in true hibernation, its body temperature drops to about 35 F, its heart rate drops from 350 beats per minute to about 3 beats per minute, and it will breathe only once every several minutes.The vast and complex internal changes that must take place in hibernation, affecting the function of every cell, show us that hibernation is an ability that was built into many creatures. If all these changes were due to genetic accidents, there would be no hibernating animals today. They would all have died trying to find the right combination of internal changes to allow hibernation to occur.Psalm 121:2-4"My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep."Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I see Your love for all that You have made in the ways that You have provided for good of all Your creatures. If You would be their Father through such tender loving care, how much more would You be my Father for the sake of Your Son Jesus Christ! Amen.REF.: Fleming, Carol B. How do animals hibernate?

In the tenth chapter of the book of Joshua, we read how, as Israel fought for occupation of the Promised Land at Gibeon, Joshua asked the Lord to stop the sun so that Israel could finish its battle. According to Joshua 10:13, the sun stopped in mid‑sky and did not set for nearly an entire day. According to the most accurate dating, this was about 1400 BC.Our modern scientific age knows that the earth, which weighs billions of tons, revolves around the sun while turning on its axis. In order for the sun to stand still in its apparent movement across the sky, the earth would have to stop spinning. The earth spins at a speed of about 1,000 miles per hour. If it were to suddenly stop, the force would rip the earth apart. All of this is what science tells us. And from these facts, science therefore concludes that the sun could not have stopped in its path across the sky. But this final conclusion is not scientific, even if all the other facts are true.Joshua 10 tells us that God made the sun stop in its apparent path. Science admits that it cannot tell us what God can or cannot do. Science can only tell us that it would be very unlikely for the sun to stand still in the sky. But Joshua 10:14 tells us this and more—this had never happened before and had not happened again at the time Joshua was written.It's not surprising, then, to learn that, according to Aztec lore from Mexico, virtually on the other side of the world, the sun failed to rise for an entire day in the City of the Gods around 1400 BC.Joshua 10:13"And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."Prayer: Dear Lord, our age is a materialistic age where we deny what we cannot understand. I confess that I cannot understand how the sun could appear to stop in the sky, but I know that Your Word says that You did this great miracle. Grant me your Holy Spirit so that I may not be infected with the doubt that so permeates the world. Amen.REF.: Sitchin, Zecharia. How Jericho fell. The Christian News.

Microsoft Teams is having a "Simply Red" moment and it's leaving some people seeing red. Microsoft are removing the labels from the apps on the app rail. Because

Your eye is a miraculous system of individual parts, all of which work together to provide vision. Light must be collected, focused, interpreted and then translated into signals that are sent to the brain, where the information is further processed and turned into the images we see. For as much as we know, modern science still isn't quite sure how the whole system works.Scientists would like to learn just how vision works so they can build robots that can see. Some experimental robots have been built that can see after a fashion, but even the common housefly can see better than the best machines made by science. Scientists are now studying the fly's eye in order to learn more about how vision works.The fly's eye, with its 3,000 lenses, is remarkably complex and similar to the human eye. There's no sign of evolution here. Even the fly's nervous system, which is essential in translating sight, is highly complex. Each of the fly's 3,000 lenses collects light into a tubular structure. This structure contains eight light‑sensitive cells. These cells process the light and turn it into electrical signals that then go to the fly's brain.It's easy for people to say that there is no Creator. But as soon as they begin to study any living system, they are quickly humbled and eager to learn from it. That in itself is an excellent argument for the existence of the Creator.Proverbs 1:29-31"For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices."Prayer: Dear Father, I thank You that even when man denies You, You have the last word. Help me to see those actions in my life which deny You as Creator and Jesus Christ as my Savior, and with Your help, make a better confession. In His Name. Amen.REF.: Spice, Byron. Scientific vision.

When scientists finally learn how to make ceramics that can endure high temperatures and conduct electricity without resistance, they may have to thank the sea urchin for teaching them how to do it.While the ceramics that humans manufacture are fairly strong and resist forces that destroy other materials, they have their imperfections. They are not shatter-resistant. And it takes a lot of heat to create them. On the other hand, mollusks like the nautilus and sea urchin make shatterproof ceramics out of calcium carbonate—which is chalk—using no heat and a little water. And the mollusk‑created ceramics come in intricate shapes, often much more complex than those made by humans.Scientists are now studying how mollusks make their ceramics so that we can also make better ones. The processes they are learning will enable the manufacture of strong ceramic materials that conduct electricity without resistance. They will be cheap and easy to make, yet they will provide us with better building materials and even artificial bones.Scientists are learning that the secret to making superior ceramics uses cheap materials and a very complex series of chemical reactions carried out by special cells in ceramic‑making mollusks. It's definitely not a system that was worked out by no one at all through chance and accident. In effect, science is seeking to learn how the Creator made ceramics, so that we can do it too!Genesis 1:31"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."Prayer: Father, I often forget that Your wisdom extends to very material things, things which I don't usually associate with the spiritual. Teach me not to separate the spiritual and material, but see them both as coming from Your Hand. Help me to glorify You in spiritual as well as material matters. In Jesus' Name.

Ref.: Dr. Anton Steiner, Fachanwalt für Erbrecht, Präsident des deutschen Forums für Erbrecht, München Viele Deutsche haben kein gültiges Testament. Dabei kann ein sorgfältiges Ordnen des Nachlasses Familienstreitigkeiten und bösen Überraschungen vorbeugen, wie etwa einer ungeahnt hohen Erbschaftssteuer. Gleichzeitig bleibt Erbe ein sensibles Thema - es ist ja immer auch Ausdruck von Zuwendung und auch von gefühlter Bevorzugung oder Benachteiligung unter Geschwistern. Ein Grund mehr, sich rechtzeitig und genau zu überlegen, wem wir was von unseren großen und kleinen Besitztümern hinterlassen. In der Lebenshilfe stellt sich der renommierte Münchner Erbrechtsanwalt Dr. Anton Steiner Ihren Fragen rund um Testament, Erbe und Vermächtnis: Was ist bei der Ausgestaltung eines Testamentes zu beachten? Wie viel Gestaltungsfreiheit gibt es und wo ist man durch gesetzliche Pflichtanteile begrenzt? Wann ist es sinnvoll, einen Fachanwalt zu Rate zu ziehen - und wie viel kostet so etwas...?

Ref.: P. Prof. Dr. Hubert Lenz SAC, Vallendar Das Theaterstück "Abgerungen" ist ein Einpersonenstück. . Es handelt von einem Schriftsteller, gespielt von Bruno Lehan; der sich darauf eingelassen hat, ein Theaterstück über den Pallottinerpater Richard Henkes zu schreiben. In der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus hat Pater Henkes klar Flagge gezeigt und sich immer wieder für Wahrheit und Menschenwürde, für Versöhnung und Mitmenschlichkeit eingesetzt. Dass er ins KZ Dachau kam, war die fast logische Konsequenz. Auch hier engagierte er sich für die Anderen. Als bei einer Typhusepidemie vier Baracken unter Quarantäne gestellt werden, lässt er sich mit den Kranken einschließen, pflegt ca. 9 Wochen lang seine hilfsbedürftigen Mithäftlinge bis er sich selbst infiziert und am 22. Febr. 1945 stirbt Die Beschäftigung mit dem Lebenseinsatz von Pater Richard Henkes fordert den Schriftsteller nicht nur heraus, über das eigene Leben neu nachzudenken, sondern berührt und begeistert ihn immer mehr. Der Autor kommt ins Fragen, bezieht die Zuschauer in sein Ringen mit ein und identifiziert sich zunehmend mit diesem Zeugen radikaler Menschlichkeit und Liebe.

Ref.: Dr. Eduard von Habsburg-Lothringen, Ungarischer Sonderbotschafter für Familie und Internationale Kirchliche Institutionen Andere führten Kriege - die österreichischen Habsburger heirateten. Und verbrüderten sich auf diese Weise mit den Mächtigen anderer Teile Europas. Die erfolgreiche Heiratspolitik des Hauses Habsburg war friedenssichernd und wurde geradezu sprichwörtlich: "Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria nube" ("Andere mögen Kriege führen, du, glückliches Österreich, heirate"). Dr. Eduard von Habsburg-Lothringen entstammt diesem Geschlecht einstiger Könige und Kaiser, und was er von ihnen geerbt hat, ist der ausgeprägte Familiensinn. Weltweit zählt er an die 300 Cousinen und Cousins. Heute tritt der sechsfache Vater als ungarischer "Sonderbotschafter für Familie und Internationale Kirchliche Institutionen" für die Belange von Ehe und Familie ein - und er tut das aus voller Überzeugung. Denn auch wenn die Zeiten der Heiratspolitik seiner Ahnen vorbei sind: Eine große Familie bleibt für ihn die beste Lebensschule und die stabilste Keimzelle einer gesunden Gesellschaft. Warum, darüber sprechen wir mit Botschafter von Habsburg-Lothringen in der Lebenshilfe.

Ref.: Manuela Bräutigam, Kinderkrankenschwester und Lisa Schmid, Mutter von Linea Wenn ein ungeborenes Kind an einer schweren und unheilbaren Krankheit leidet, dann stehen die Eltern vor einer schweren Entscheidung. Viele Ärzte empfehlen eine Abtreibung, die Tötung des Kindes. Doch es gibt eine Alternative: die palliative Geburt. Dabei steht nicht die Verlängerung der Lebenszeit des Neugeborenen im Vordergrund, sondern die bestmögliche Lebensqualität und das Befinden des Kindes sowie seiner Familie. Egal, ob das Kind nur wenige Augenblicke lebt, noch Wochen oder Monate - oder schon tot geboren wird. Die Kinderkrankenschwester Manuela Bräutigam begleitet Eltern auf diesem Weg, der geprägt ist von Schock, Trauer, Angst und Enttäuschung - aber oft auch von einer besonders innigen Beziehung zu dem scheidenden Kind. Sie ist unser Gast in der Lebenshilfe am Tag der Kinderhospizarbeit, gemeinsam mit Lisa Schmid, deren Tochter Linea wenige Wochen nach der Geburt gestorben ist, Sie und ihr Mann wussten, dass ihr Kind wenig Überlebenschancen haben würde, und dennoch haben sie sich dafür entschieden, die Schwangerschaft weiter zu führen und ihr Kind auf die Welt zu bringen. Heute erzählt sie uns Lineas berührende Geschichte.

Ref.: Daniel Wolff, Digitaltrainer und Autor, Grafrath (bei Fürstenfeldbruck) Kinder und Jugendliche sind zu viel am Handy. Das beklagen Eltern und Fachleute - aber auch die Jugendlichen selbst sind sich dessen bewusst. Das zeigen neue Umfragen. Bei allen Diskussionen um Verbote an Schulen bleibt die Familie der erste Ort für die digitale Erziehung. Doch leider scheitert die Einschränkung der Mediennutzung gerade dort besonders häufig. Die Bildschirme sind halt allzu praktisch, wenn es darum geht, ein Kleinkind ruhig zu stellen oder sich anstrengende Pubertierende vom Hals zu halten... Und meisten wissen die Eltern auch nicht so wirklich, was ihre Kinder am Handy alles so treiben. Der Digitaltrainer Daniel Wolff kennt die digitale Welt von Kindern wie kaum ein anderer - an Schulen und in den Medien zeigt er auf, wie die meisten Kinder sich weitgehend unbeaufsichtigt in den Untiefen des Internets tummeln. In der Lebenshilfe erklärt der Bestsellerautor, wie Eltern wieder die Kontrolle über die Bildschirme ihrer Kinder erlangen können - und warum sie das unbedingt tun sollten.

If you wake up when it's still dark, you know how overwhelming it can be to turn on the light. Your eyes may even hurt at first. If you've had this experience, you can understand one of the problems that had to be solved when radar was developed.Basically, radar is made up of two parts. The transmitter sends out a powerful beam of radar waves. But the other part of the radar system is a very sensitive receiver that cannot stand the powerful outgoing signal. One of the major technical problems to be overcome in developing modern radar involved sending out this powerful signal without overwhelming the sensitive receiver. What scientists finally developed was a fast switch that turns the sensitive receiver off every time a radar pulse is sent out.Bats, who have their own sonic radar, had this problem solved from the beginning. They have muscles in their ears that are the receivers for the echoes. These muscles close the ears for split seconds when the bats are sending out their high pitched signals.Without this feature, the bat's navigational system would be useless. How could a bat figure out that it needed this ability and then decide to grow the muscles and related tissue to do the job? When one decides to say that creatures, instead of the Creator, have made themselves, one can end up with some very silly conclusions!Matthew 6:27-29"Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."Prayer: Dear Father; You have made all things well and with the good of the creation in mind.

The Baller Lifestyle Podcast – Episode 609 Super Bowl Props, Epstein Emails, and the Absolute State of America Hosts:Brian Beckner & Ed Daly Episode Description Brian and Ed return on their “week off” to do what really matters: break down the Super Bowl absolutely nobody is excited about. From degenerate prop bets and halftime chaos to Epstein email fallout, billionaire losers, and why punting should be outlawed, Episode 609 is a full TBLS classic—unhinged, cynical, and painfully accurate. Along the way, they take aim at Boston happiness, Elon Musk's eternal loser energy, Bad Bunny panic, broadcast incompetence, airline bathroom etiquette, and the most important question of all: what color Gatorade is getting dumped on the coach? Topics Covered Why nobody wants Boston fans to ever be happy again The easiest Super Bowl path in NFL history Bill Simmons, Bill Belichick, and the Patriots' public enemy status Epstein emails, elite loser energy, and why Elon wasn't even allowed on the island Super Bowl prop bets that actually matter Why punting should be banned forever Patriots vs Seahawks rematch energy and goal-line PTSD Fan Man, streakers, and missed opportunities in modern sports Why refs, replay officials, and rules analysts are all useless Bad Bunny halftime hysteria and MAGA counter-programming Broadcast music choices, hometown bias, and NBC nonsense Airline bathroom crimes and how to clear your name Why every MVP now thanks God (and how to do it correctly) Gatorade colors, bucket colors, and liquid strategy Why Super Bowl parties are worse on the East Coast LaCroix: rise, fall, and ultimate betrayal Super Bowl Prop Bets Discussed First Bay Area landmark shown on broadcast Linebacker touchdown receptions Passing from the 1-yard line (Seahawks trauma edition) Streakers and unauthorized field access Total punts (or lack thereof) Sideline fights and tantrums Celebrity cutaways (Cardi B, Celtics players, etc.) National anthem length Coin toss call (tails never fails) Drake's Super Bowl pick Defensive or special teams touchdowns Ref controversies and replay disasters Coach bleeding scenarios (Vrabel edition) Gatorade color dump Notable Rants & Observations Billionaires are not cool and never have been Nobody knows who voiceover people are Super Bowl crowds are fake and corporate “Woke” accusations have officially lost all meaning Airline bathroom etiquette should be federally regulated Quotes “Nobody wants anyone from Boston to be happy.”“Punting is for losers.”“God is back, Ed.

The woodpecker's tongue can stretch from three to five times its normal length in order to fish bugs out of trees. You would think that his tongue would have to be rooted in his tail to do that neat trick! This beautiful creation in which we live is not only filled with testimonies to the wisdom of God. It is also filled with special designs that deny the possibility that life in all its complexity developed entirely by chance.Consider the woodpecker. Incredibly, the woodpecker's tongue is rooted in his right nostril. Exiting the back of the nostril, his tongue spits into two parts, wrapping around his head between his skull and the skin, passing on either side of the neck bones, and then coming up through his lower jaw or beak. This gives the woodpecker a long enough tongue to stretch it out far enough to do an effective job of pest control on bug-infested trees!Now, how could this happen by blind evolutionary chance? Even evolutionists admit that it's silly to suggest that the woodpecker's tongue gradually got longer over thousands of year and began to grow under his skin. As one evolutionary scientist said about the woodpecker's tongue, "There are certain anatomical features which just cannot be explained by gradual mutations over millions of years. Just between you and me, I have to get God into the act too sometimes."Why wait to call on God as a last resort? Let's begin with our wonderful Creator!Deuteronomy 4:28"'And there you will serve gods, the work of men's hand, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.'"Prayer: Dear heavenly Father; through the instruction of Your Word and the guidance of Your Spirit, help me to be different from those around me who think that the creation itself made them.

People sometimes wonder why, with all the marvels science can design and build, it cannot build a good replacement for the heart. As medical science learns more about the heart, it becomes clear that replacing this complex mass of muscles is more difficult than might be imagined.Your heart is about the size of your fist, really surprisingly small for the job it does. The heart is a pump with valves, tubing and an electrical system. Its four chambers are carefully designed to make sure that used blood goes to your lungs for oxygen and that blood from your lungs takes that oxygen to the rest of your body. In order to do this, your heart must pump 2,000 gallons of blood through more than 60,000 miles of soft tubing every day.But the heart is much more than a pump. Researchers describe it as "an incredibly intelligent organ." The heart is smarter than we are. When you need more circulation, it senses this and speeds its pumping action. It doesn't matter whether the need for more pumping action comes from increased exercise, or something you thought about that might require more heart action, the heart responds. Even when transplanted, the heart is able to respond to its new environment.Like everything else God has created, the heart is not a simple organ, limited to only one job. The heart is custom-designed to do many jobs well. And to this day doctors cannot tell you why one apparently healthy heart stops beating and another does not. Life itself is more than an organ; it is a gift from our Creator to each of us.Hebrews 2:10"For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings."Prayer: Dear Father in heaven; I thank You for the gift of life. Take my life and let it be consecrated to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.REF.: Huyghe, Patrick. Your heart: a survival guide. Science Digest.

Most of us have heard recordings of whales singing. Scientists have not yet learned to understand the whale's language, but they have identified individual verses in whale song. Now they are more convinced than ever that whale song is a sophisticated language.Whale song is made up of complex and stylized compositions, many of them longer than the longest of human symphonies. A single whale song can last up to 22 hours! Scientists have learned that humpback whale songs change a lot from year to year. Yet each humpback in an entire ocean will always sing the same song as the others. Scientists wondered how whales could keep the verses straight since the song changes so often.Researchers have concluded that whales, like human beings, use rhyme to help remember their songs. Biologists studying whale song report that they have identified the same subphrases turning up in the same positions in verses that are next to each other. Whales apparently compose their long songs with rhymes, making them possibly the greatest poets on earth!Evolutionists tell us that language is such an advanced development that even the first human beings could do no more than grunt and growl. And yet the whale not only has a sophisticated language but also creates poetry. Christians can comfortably put evolution aside to realize that the Bible is right when it says that the whole creation praises God. And whales make it very clear that the Creator Himself is the author of language—not some caveman.Psalm 148:7"Praise the LORD from the earth, You great sea creatures and all the depths."Prayer: Dear Lord; one of Your greatest gifts to us is language because through it we learn of Your love for us in sending Your son Jesus Christ to save us from sin, death and the devil. With that in mind, help me to be a good steward of the gift of language in praise and witness to You. Amen.REF.: Science Frontiers. Newsweek.

Inside your body, there is a large and amazing family of chemical workers who, although they usually last less than a minute, make life possible. There are so many different kinds of these chemicals, called prostaglandins, that science is just beginning to learn how important they are to life.Prostaglandins are made by just about every tissue in your body. They are made by tissue cells from stored fatty acids. When triggered, fatty acids swarm out of the cell walls and are quickly changed into the necessary prostaglandin. Prostaglandins are involved in regulating reproduction, breathing and circulation, among other things.Prostaglandins made by the cells lining our blood vessels relax the muscles around them so that more blood can flow through them. And blood platelets also produce another prostaglandin; when triggered, it enables the blood to clot and seal wounds. In the lungs, prostaglandins regulate the openings of air passages. They help protect the inside of your stomach. It is because aspirin inhibits prostaglandin production that it helps headaches and can cause stomach problems in some people. Prostaglandins have been implicated in the swollen, painful joints caused by arthritis.The human body is literally a symphony of thousands of carefully designed systems, each one playing in harmony with the other and all of them working together. This fact alone leaves no justification for the claim that we are designed by genetic accidents.I Corinthians 12:18"But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased."Prayer: Lord, I thank You that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I understand that it is because of sin that sometimes our systems do not work as You designed them. According to Your will, grant me healing in those cases, but let me always be aware of Your love and presence in my life. Amen.REF.: Shodell, Michael. The prostaglandin connection. Science 83.
