Phase V: A License to Learn!
Myth buster: Those that work around nuclear power do not glow green – they glow blue! (Just kidding!). Beautiful – but deadly – blue glow (i.e., Cherenkov radiation) of an operating or “critical” nuclear reactor seen under many feet of radiation shielding and thus life-protecting water. The light is given off because highly charged particles of matter (e.g., electrons) around the reactor travel faster than the speed of light in water (the speed of light in water is 75% of the speed of light in a vacuum). While the matter of the charged particle can exceed the speed of light in water, the charge must travel at the local speed of light.…

Would You Vote for Samson?
“As you do not know the path of the wind, or how a body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things” (Ecclesiastes 11:5). We are a week out from what is certainly a consequential election. We are living in crazy and scary times. Thankfully, up to this point in our history, we have had the opportunity to vote for a new president every four years. Imagine living in times or places where people did not get that opportunity, when a king or dictator ruled for life. Our ability to vote is something for which we should thank God.…

The friction and resulting resistance to being pulled by the sled vary from minimal at the starting line and increases until the tractor can no longer pull it.

Phase III: God’s Rock Tumbler!
When I was small, I was fascinated with rocks and minerals of all sorts and especially admired the beauty hidden in seemingly ordinary rocks that had been polished in a rock tumbler. When my boys were younger, I lived out my childhood fantasy – as many of us parents must admit that we do – of owning a rock tumbler for them! We carefully followed the directions for loading rocks to be polished along with the coarsest polishing compound into the rock tumbler and turned it on. We then discovered that rock tumbling is the source of an insatiate whining and grinding noise that must continue for weeks to remove…

Phase II: Is Your Engine Running?
There once was a lumberjack that lived around the time that chainsaws were first introduced. This lumberjack was so strong and experienced that he could cut down ten trees daily using only hand tools. However, while picking up supplies at a store, the salesmen convinced him he could double or triple the number of trees cut down daily if he used one of the new chainsaws.

Phase I: Got Your Big Boy Pants On?
As a teacher of men and women and a ministry to men leader in the Body of Christ for many years, it has been my concern that very few seem to grow spiritually to the point of being able to help others grow in the faith.
