Caterpillars retreat to a cocoon, where they dissolve into a liquid goo, which is then transformed into a butterfly. Some butterfly wings look like menacing eyes to keep predators away. No scientific explanation. Did this just happen out of nothing?
Back in the 60’s Carl Sagan thought any sun similar to ours, with a planet about as far away as the earth is to the sun could possibly host life. Since then science has learned there is so much more than that. If the earth spun just slightly slower than once every 24 hours, nights would get too cold and the days would be too hot for life to exist. If earth was larger, the increased gravity would cause deadly gasses like nitrogen (chemical weight 13-14) to pool in the atmosphere instead of dissipating, eliminating life as we know it. Also water vapor (chemical weight 15) would then dissipate out of the atmosphere instead of returning to earth as water, which of course is essential for life.
Most solid forms of materials are heavier than the liquid forms (so they sink). Only water is somehow lighter as a solid (ice) due to the V shaped H2O compound. If ice didn’t float, ponds would freeze from the bottom up – killing all the fish and other wildlife in the water. Did this just happen?
Details like this caused thousands of potential life-bearing planets to be eliminated from consideration. According to scientists, currently there are zero planets identified as being able to host life – including earth.
Sometimes when someone posts something on social media that is obviously a God thing, a beautiful butterfly or something else from God’s creation, I am tempted to sarcastically respond “Isn’t evolution amazing?”
Generation X is responsible for several weird office trends. Xers (born between 1965 and 1980) have it rough financially but are more direct, embrace feedback, don’t let negatives keep them up at night, embrace a work/life balance, are on their phones less than millennials, and are adept at collaboration.
Article: never eat on a zoom call. Comes across as rude and unprofessional. You would never eat in a face to face meeting. I read this after sneaking a few bites during Sunday School this week. Do make sure you look presentable, mute yourself when others are speaking, and don’t look at your phone of appear distracted.
Tips to free up space on your iPhone.
1. Know where you stand. Settings > General > Storage > Manage Storage.
2. Limit how many texts are stored. Change you text storage setting. Settings > Messages > Message History > Keep Messages. Change Forever to 30 Days or 1 Year.
3. Clean your Safari cache. Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
4. Manage your photos. Delete unneeded pictures. Check WhatsApp photo settings, which can safe every photo to your device. Consider turning off Photo Stream. Go to Photos and Camera then My Photo Stream, and turn My Photo Stream off.
5. Use an external storing platform. Start backing up to iCloud, Dropbox, and Google Photos.
6. Check offline data settings. Eliminate the offline mode and delete data.
7. Trick your phone into deleting unneeded files to create space, by pretending to download a huge file you don’t have room for (like from iTunes). Your phone will try to clear unnecessary files to fit it.

Got a long list of things that need to get done. Stressing me out.
Last night Ceil cooked meatloaf, baked some small potatoes, and tossed a salad. Not sure why Ceil picked out the 2009 movie we watched: “Did You Hear About the Morgans?” starring Hugh Grant, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mary Steenburgen, Sam Elliott, and Wilford Brimley.
