I watched a Nova segment on PBS tonight concerning the scientific struggle to understand the natue of heat and cold and the process to create in the lab the coldest temperature possible..273 degrees C.
Scientist have reached within 1 billionth of a degree of absolute zero and found the very nature of matter changed. There were no longer atoms with electrons but now a strange acting substance that did n0t behave like a gas, fluid, or solid but consisted of waves flying at randon.
Mankind often has a hard time believing in anything that cannot be measured or observed or experienced with the 5 senses. As we delve more deeply into the mysteries of the world, we discover phenomina that cannot be explained to human satifaction.
We can be confident that an Almighty God understands it completely because He designed it down to the most intricate detail. When we accept this fact, we will explode in worship to the Creator of all things great and small. What a mighty God we serve.

I'm Beginning To Eat Like Christmas......
The holidays are a challenging time for me. As soon as I see those enticing, sugary treats, view that bowel of "Texas trash", and smell the aroma of the briskett baking in the oven, my primal instincts take over giving me the desire to eat everything in sight. I eat too much, I eat the wrong things, and I feel terrible afterwards. I ask, "Why?"
I'm doing better than I used to do. My wife does in fact fix "treats" that are healthy and devoid of white sugar, and she does arrange the treats around the house to discourage stuffing.
And maybe the unpleasant experiences of previous holidays have taught me, "It simply isn't worth the temporary fix I get from junk food to endure the discomfort."
I don't know. With such wonderful times that go with the holiday....family, laughter, good feelings, God's goodness....it is a shame to ruin it by eating too much and eating "junk". Couldn't we just change our customs a little to exclude anything that is harmful to the body.
We might be amazed to know that God designed foods which are complete nutritionally, but are also wonderful to eat. I'm afraid in this "already made to eat" world, homemakers have lost the art of preparing the food as God designed it without altering its nutritional content. <
Just a thought.

Creator's Design Low Tech --Affordable
In a time in the United States where health care expenses are spiraling out of sight and a significant part of the population is without health insurance, we need a better approach to health care, and it’s not national health care. God figured this problem out from the beginning.
It is a well-accepted fact among health experts that over 80 percent of the diseases that affect us in our country today are lifestyle mediated. This means the way we eat, work, rest, exercise, handle stress, cause these health problems. Modern medicine has to use high- tech therapies to repair the damage from what could have been prevented by the
simple life.
It appears most us would rather spend $40,000 plus for heart surgery and endure the dis- comfort and disability associated with it, rather than follow the Creator’s simple wisdom for health.
Believe me the original, low-tech design is much less expensive and a whole lot less painful. It does require reeducating ourselves and going counter to our culture, and being perceived as some kind of “nut”.
Instead of eating 50 percent of food at fast food restaurants and serving primarily processed foods from the grocery store, we need to get most of our groceries from the produce section. Consuming these foods as close to their original condition as possible will insure we get the vitamins, minerals, proteins, enzymes, fats, fibers, anti-oxidations, and 1000s of phytonutrients both known and unknown required for good health.
How about when we do get sick? The Good Lord has this covered as well by creating hundreds of inexpensive herbs for many of these conditions. Also, it might just help to slow down a little, decrease the stress, rest some more, spend time in prayer and meditation, and give the body’s natural disease defense a chance to work. (Forgive me if this idea sounds too radical.)
You mean you believe we will never need to see the doctor? No, I’m not saying this at all. We are blessed with the availability of many compassionate and capable health care providers. But, why not try the low-tech approach first before having it cut out (do we not think God might have put it there for a reason) or taking a prescription which the chances are pretty good a research study will show it causes some other disease later.
Admittedly the Creator’s original design appears too low-tech and too simple for a modern society surrounded by scientific advancement. The facts are that it works better than anything mankind has ever designed, and I suspect will ever design. Remember, God never makes mistakes.
