First snow in 4 years!


"Daddy, Mommy, Look! It's snowing!!!!!" Our children were jumping up and down with excitement when they saw the first snow. This was the first snow they had seen in four years (three years in Tanzania and one in Dallas).

12 seconds and 120 feet that changed history

Orville and Wilbur Wright are credited with inventing the airplane because on December 17, 1903 they successfully flew the first manned, powered, controlled heavier-than-air machine. The first flight was 120 feet and lasted 12 seconds.

I'm just as amazed now as I was when I was a little boy. Such genius! Such courage!

When we find ourselves amazed at the awesome creativity of the human mind we should remind ourselves that we are created in the image of the Awesome Designer, the Original Inventor, the one and only Creator God.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Genesis 1:26
