God sends us people with Down Syndrome to teach us about unconditional love and finding joy in the simple parts of life…

The incredible DNA Repair System
DNA - and Life - cannot exist without it.
It requires 6-7 sub-systems working together + a massive complex network of 130–200+ unique proteins.
Simpler versions don't work.
Only Intelligence designs systems like this.
"So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift." (Matthew 5:23–24 ESV)
The Isle of Long Lost Dreams
Behold the Isle of Long-Lost Dreams.
There are many on the shore it seems,
Who've crawled from sea and shipwreck mess
Upon this isle for final rest.

The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.

Demoralization: Infiltrate & undermine institutions, amplify antisocial
Destabilization: Create internal fights & radicalize, leads to clashes
Crisis: Collapse → civil war | invasion
Normalization: New authoritarian rule, discard old activists.
Spurgeon has a word for young preachers and amateur theologians who eschew the use of commentaries and other reference works in their study of Scripture.
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” Psalm 20:7
Practice pausing before your tasks and saying from your heart, “Lord, I trust you, not my doing, to make this task fruitful for your glory.”
How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD of hosts!
My soul longs, yes, faints
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
to the living God.
Psalm 84:1–2 (ESV)
