On May 12, 2024, I took some time to watch these amazing ants work. This ant hill was in our back yard. Here are some facts on ant hills: 1. Ant Hill Construction: - Ants construct hills using natural materials such as soil, sand, or clay. - Many ant hills have a depression in the center, giving them the appearance of a crater. - The mounds are a byproduct of the tireless work of the ants. They form from discarded soil while the ants burrow, building underground chambers and tunnels for their home. 2. Variety of Materials: - Ant hills can be made out of different materials, depending on the ant species. - Some ants build their hills out of leaves, while others use sand or soil. 3. Size and Shape: - The size of an ant hill varies based on the species. - Ant hills can be found in a variety of outdoor environments, including yards, gardens, parks, and forests. 4. Temporary Structures: - Some ant species are nomadic, which means the structures they build are temporary. - Ants may abandon their nests and build elsewhere if a threat is detected. 5. Complex Social Networks: - Ant hills provide shelter, organization, and security for their colonies. - Ants create highly complex social networks called colonies, which enable them to organize and delegate responsibilities. 6. Labor Forces: - Ants build their homes underground and create tunnels and chambers. - Within their colonies, ants have hierarchies that typically fall into three castes: queens, workers, and males. 7. Ingenious Insects: - Ants’ two antennas allow them to detect various scents and vibrations and transmit and receive signals. - Their strong jaws (mandibles) enable them to carry food, build nests, and defend their territory. 8. Omnivorous Diet: - Ants are omnivorous, feeding on both plant and animal matter. Ants are remarkable creatures with intricate societies and impressive building skills. Their hills serve as vital hubs for their survival and success. https://a-z-animals.com/blog/how-are-ant-hills-made-plus-other-facts-about-these-amazing-insects/

On April 26th, 2024 we visited the ARK Encounter. The ark itself was an amazing display and worth the visit all by itself. But when you add the video presentations in their answers center, the beautiful zoo behind the ark, and a buffet meal in their cafeteria, you have great value. We were there from 9:00am till 8:00pm and we couldn't see everything they had available for us. The following is from their web site: https://arkencounter.com/about/ "Ark Encounter features a full-size Noah’s Ark, built according to the dimensions given in the Bible. Spanning 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high, this modern engineering marvel amazes visitors young and old. Ark Encounter is situated in beautiful Grant County in Williamstown, Kentucky, halfway between Cincinnati and Lexington and right off I-75."

On March 11th, 2020, we were at the Tel Aviv airport trying to get back to Canada after they cancelled many flights. Fortunately we were able to get out because the very next day they shut down the world because of covid. Four years later and I still can't believe they were able to do that!

On March 16, 2024, JOY (Just Older Youth) hosted a Newfoundland kitchen party at Encounter Church. The evening was complete with an amazing jigs dinner, mummers, upbeat Newfie music, inducting honorary Newfoundlanders, and a testimony.

This event was captured on January 30th, 2024 beginning at 2:05:29am. The local RCMP are investigating at the time of this post, and this video helped identify some of the people responsible. It appears to be part of a larger ring, but here we have two vehicles with six people participating.

I was asked to speak briefly at the church I attend on the subject of "God's grace in our lives". Though speaking in public is nerve wrecking, I was honored to do so.

I attended the Reawaken America Tour in Miami, Florida on October 13 & 14, 2023. The event was held at the Trump Doral. This is a little overview of my time there.

One of the seven natural wonders of the world, we had the privilege of visiting there in September, 2023. Here is a short video clip I took that shows how magnificent the view is, but it has to be seen in person to capture thee whole essence. Just beautiful! https://www.nps.gov/grca/index.htm
