Friday, January 2 My tent will be with them, and I will be their God.—Ezek. 37:27. What role does Jehovah play in your life? You may answer, ‘Jehovah is my Father, my God, and my Friend.’ There are also other titles, or designations, that you may apply to Jehovah. However, do you also view him as your Host? King David compared Jehovah’s friendship with His loyal worshippers to the relationship between a host and his guests. He asked: “O Jehovah, who may be a guest in your tent? Who may reside in your holy mountain?” (Ps. 15:1) From these inspired words, we learn that we can become Jehovah’s guests—his friends. Before creation, Jehovah was alone. But at one point, he welcomed his firstborn Son into his figurative tent. Jehovah took great pleasure in his new role as Host. The Bible reveals that Jehovah was “especially fond of” his Son. His first guest, in turn, “rejoiced before [Jehovah] all the time.”—Prov. 8:30. w24.06 2 ¶1-3

December 29, 2025 A beautiful report about the preaching work in Mozambique: A Century of Preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom in Mozambique The report for 2025 service year enumerates how Jehovah is blessing their activities with 103,244 average publishers, 109,531 peak publishers and 10,368 baptized.

What a great explanation of something that we take for granted without understanding. Thanks.

The Telling Story of Temperature — a Glimpse of Wonder entry™ — Temperature is not the weather, and it is not the number on a thermometer. Temperature is quieter than that. It describes motion—what is happening inside matter, moment by moment. So let’s slow down for a moment and look at what temperature actually tells us. Everything around us is made of tiny particles—atoms and groups of atoms called molecules—that are always moving. They never stop. Temperature tells us how fast that motion is happening on average. When atoms and molecules move faster, temperature rises. When they slow down, temperature falls. An object may look exactly the same on the outside, but inside, motion can be changing all the time as energy moves in or out. Put an apple in a refrigerator. The apple does not become a different object. What changes is its internal motion. Energy flows out of the apple and into the colder environment around it. As that energy leaves, the atoms and molecules inside the apple move more slowly. The refrigerator does not add “cold.” It simply provides a place for energy to go. Temperature drops because motion decreases. Now consider a blanket placed in a warmer. At first, it may feel cool. But slowly, that changes. Energy flows from the warmer surroundings into the blanket. As energy enters, the atoms and molecules within the blanket begin to move faster. Nothing visible happens. The fibers do not shift or glow. Yet the blanket becomes warm because its internal motion has increased. Temperature rises because energy has been transferred in. Snow shows this from another angle. Loose snow is cold and powdery because particle motion is low and the ice crystals remain separate. But when snow is pressed together in your hands, energy is transferred into it. That energy comes from your muscles doing work. The pressure concentrates that energy at tiny contact points between ice crystals, causing a thin layer of ice to melt. Not because the snow warmed everywhere, but because energy was added locally. When the pressure is released, energy is no longer being supplied. The thin layer of water freezes again, binding the crystals together. A snowball forms through energy flowing in and then flowing back out. Wind reveals something similar on a larger scale. Wind does not lower temperature. It increases the rate at which energy is removed. Moving air strips away warmed air near skin or surfaces and replaces it with colder air. The faster the air moves, the faster energy is carried away. Wind itself is energy in motion—air particles already moving because of temperature and pressure differences elsewhere. What we feel as wind chill is energy interacting with energy, all following the same orderly rules. Fire shows yet another face of temperature. A piece of wood resting outdoors may feel cool, yet it holds a large amount of stored energy. That energy is not temperature. It is chemical energy locked into the structure of the wood. While the wood sits quietly, that energy remains hidden. When the wood burns, chemical bonds break and rearrange. Stored energy is released and converted into motion. Atoms and molecules race. Heat pours outward. Light flashes. Temperature rises sharply—not because the wood was hot before, but because hidden energy has become active. If we follow this trail far enough, temperature eventually leads our eyes upward. Deep within the sun, enormous amounts of energy are being produced. That energy does not rush straight to the surface. Inside the sun’s dense interior, it moves slowly, transferred step by step through matter under intense pressure and motion. It can take thousands of years for energy formed deep within the sun to reach its surface. Temperature there tells a story of sustained motion, held and guided with precision. But once that energy reaches the sun’s surface, everything changes. It is released as light and radiation and races through space. In just minutes, that same energy reaches Earth. It warms the planet, drives weather systems, powers plant life, and sustains the environment we live in. The energy that cools an apple, warms a blanket, binds a snowball, sharpens the bite of wind, and once slept inside a piece of wood traces back to that blazing source in the sky. Temperature is how we sense that journey. It allows us to feel energy that began far beyond our reach. And then Scripture lifts our eyes higher still: “Lift up your eyes to heaven and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who brings out their army by number; He calls them all by name. Due to His vast dynamic energy and awe-inspiring power, not one of them is missing.” — Isaiah 40:26, NWT Jehovah is not merely a user of energy. He is its source. He designed how energy is stored, how it moves, how it is transferred, and how it is released. Temperature faithfully reflects those designs every day, even when we are not thinking about them. We cannot see atoms moving. We cannot watch energy flow. But we live inside the results of Jehovah’s dynamic energy every moment. And when we pause to listen to the telling story of temperature, we glimpse—quietly and unmistakably—order, intention, and sustaining power at work all around us. © 2026 David Paull.

Should I make one? JK. I can't promise anything till I release it. 😂😂😂

Just as a baby keeps growing until becoming an adult, we too must keep increasing our love for Jehovah. Comment: Just as a baby needs to grow and develop, Jehovah expects us to grow spiritually. He rejoices when we take our first steps in the faith, but He desires that we advance toward Christian maturity, demonstrating discernment and genuine love for Him. Becoming “adults in understanding” means leaving behind immature ideas and attitudes, replacing them with deep knowledge and continuous faithfulness to Jehovah. Practical Lesson: Progressing spiritually requires continuous effort. We can show maturity by studying regularly, applying Bible counsel, and always seeking to please Jehovah. Even after reaching a certain level of spiritual growth, we must not stagnate. Instead, it is important to maintain our zeal, strengthen our love for Jehovah, and continue cultivating mature Christian qualities, such as patience, humility, and endurance.

False religion has always been a business, hasn't it? Selling idols, images or icons, and charging for "services".

Today I'm grateful for having wine in stock, and that chatgpt is so great at being my PT. Today will be my 25th day in a row that I have exercised! And instant cappuccino ❤️ And yet another year were the faithful and discrete slave have provided the daily text for us! I LOVE the daily text! Always have. Since I live alone, I recently started a habit: I write down a SHORT comment to the comment in my diary. Makes me reflect over the theme, not just read it. Sometimes it becomes lengthier, but I try to keep it short. Focus on how is this practically relevant in my life, today or in a situation. Grateful for the daily text, every day ❤️ and coffee. Did I say coffee? Yes, I think I have mentioned that. (Is this a way to use an image? It's linked to wol)

Archaeologists Discover 1,400-Year-Old Souvenir Mold, Exposing the Rise of Christian Pilgrimage Tourism https://arkeonews.net/archaeologists-discover-1400-year-old-souvenir-mold-exposing-the-rise-of-christian-pilgrimage-tourism/ I found this article interesting. Pilgrims from all of Europe and North Africa who visited Palestine in the Middle Ages used to bring home souvenirs: small earthen vessels, named ampullae, filled with water, oil or earth from the "holy places". Many of these have been found throughout Europe. Now for the first time archeologists excavating the ruins of a monastery named Hyrcania have found a mold used to manufacture those flasks almost in industrial scale. The mold has a cross (this is from the 6th or 7th centuries) and the inscription: “Lord’s blessing from the holy places.” It's clear that tourism and souvenirs are not a recent invention.
