Thought For The Day by John Jaeger, MBA

There are two kinds of people, those who have lost everything on their hard drive and those who are going to.  I came very close.  I enrolled in One Drive months ago and in 2025, backed up on my external hard drive.  My desktop quit after 14 years and I had no idea it was that old.  New All In One is wonderful and much lighter than standard metal box desktops.  Love it.

"In times of impending calamity and distress; when the liberties of
America are imminently endangered by secret machinations and open
assaults...it becomes the indispensable duty of [Patriots], with
true penitence of heart, and the most reverent devotion, publicly to
acknowledge the over ruling providence of God...that we may...through the
merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, obtain his pardon and forgiveness;humbly
imploring his assistance to frustrate the cruel purposes of our
unnatural enemies...that it may please the Lord of Hosts, the God of
Armies, to animate our officers and soldiers with invincible fortitude,
to guard and protect them in the day of battle...." --Proclamation by the
Continental Congress, 16 March 1776

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
    and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,... - iSAIAH 40:22

From any distant vantage point, orbiting satellites and astronauts' photographs show
the "circle of the earth," populated today by over seven billion humans, relative in size
to grasshoppers from those photographs.  The heavens continue to stretch out in
cosmic expansion imagery unimaginable when the Holy Bible was written. 

This might well be my opening for volume two of Science of the Bible.

Job 28:25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

Most people, when asked how much a cubic mile of air at sea level weighs will answer,
"Nothing, air has no weight."

If that were the case, birds, aircraft, and hot air balloons could not fly. 
Atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch. 
The winds have weight, but only 33 feet of water has the same pressure as 60 kilometers of air.   
So water has by far the greater measure.

"From the wild Irish slums of the 19th century eastern seaboard,
to the riot-torn suburbs of Los Angeles, there is one unmistakable
lesson in American history: A community that allows a large number
of young men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women,
never acquiring any stable relationship to male authority, never
acquiring any rational expectations about the future -- that
community asks for and gets chaos." --Daniel Patrick Moynihan, 1965
