The past wildfire season in BC was the third worst on record for the amount of area burned in the province. The fires burnt over 8,700 square kilometers. Just to put that into perspective the whole province of PEI is 5660 square kilometers. Do you know all that would be required to destroy that much land? Essentially a little spark that catches and burns and spreads and jumps to create more fires. A spark is so small and seemingly insignificant but it can be so powerful. Did you know the Bible compares a person’s tongue with a small fire that can be extremely destructive? In the book of James it reads, Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! It would be wise to be cautious of the potential damage you could create today with the wrong use of your tongue.

Last month the host of the American program Jeopardy asked a question about PEI that no one was able to answer. The TV shows champion at the time chose a category within the Double Jeopardy round under the title Local Nicknames. $2000 was the amount that would be awarded to the contestant with the right response to the answer, “A Spud Islander is a resident of this Canadian province, known for its potatoes.” At that point in the game everything went quiet because no one knew the answer. Did you know in the Bible there is an answer given to a question that has a value of infinite worth. It answers the question, “can I know I have eternal life?” In the book of 1st John it is written, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.”

Recently police in Minnesota were looking for a man captured on surveillance video allegedly knocking an elderly woman down while trying to snatch her purse as she walked into a store. The person who called in on the apparent thief was in fact the man’s mother. Apparently, this thief used the same tactic a day earlier in which he tried to steal another elderly woman’s purse and when she resisted was pushed to the ground and suffered a heart attack and two black eyes. Did you know in the Bible Jesus tells people to be on the outlook for a particular thief? John 10:10 reads, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

Recently scientists in Israel taught six goldfish to drive on land in a “Fish Operated Vehicle”. The vehicle consists of a plexiglass water tank outfitted to detect the position of the fish and it reacts by activating the wheels according to the position of the fish in the tank. These fish are apparently becoming more and more proficient at driving according to the direction that is set out before them. Who would of thought fish could drive? Here is another thing to consider and it is in relation to humanity. God of all creation desires to provide direction to those who follow after Him. In the book of Proverbs 3:5-6 it reads, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Last month a story was circulating on Facebook about two dedicated health care workers, Hannah Graham and Jenifer Shea who snowshoed for an hour to get to work at the Prince County Hospital because the plows were off the road due to the severity of the winter snow PEI was facing. That is a great picture of commitment! Did you know there is a passage in the Bible that shares about the dedication and commitment regarding the love of God. In Romans 8 it is written, “38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Recently, a self portrait by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, with tears running down her face and a picture of her husband on her forehead sold at an auction house in New York for a record 34.9 million dollars. It is the highest price paid at an auction for a Latin America artwork. Imagine owning a piece of art worth almost 35 million dollars. Did you know that in the Bible we are made aware of a treasure that is valued beyond what we can comprehend and we can in fact possess it? Jesus shared a story of a man who found a treasure in a field and then went and sold all that he had to buy the field so he could have the treasure. The treasure is the kingdom of heaven. Jesus also shared the way into the kingdom. He said in John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but by me.

There was a great outpouring of condolences for two entertainers who passed away last month. Betty white passed away at age 99 and Bob Saget passed away at age 65 just 9 days after Betty White. Previous to his death, in sharing a tribute to Betty White on Instagram, sharing among other things about the first time he met her, Bob Saget shared his own uncertainties about what happens after you die and noted that he ultimately does not know. Bob Saget proposes an extremely important question? Can a person know what happens after they die? Thankfully this question is addressed in the Bible in the book of 1st John which reads, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.”

Last month a pilot averted death twice in a span of minutes. First, he crash landed his plane onto railroad tracks in Los Angeles and survived and then a train was rushing towards him and police frantically managed to free the man from his plane literally seconds before a the train ran through the plane at full speed. It was a rescue that went right down to the wire. Did you know there is a potential rescue made note of in the bible that applies to you? It is addressed in John 3:16 which reads, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. This rescue certainly has an urgency in which to respond. 2 Corinthians 6:2 reads, “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
