Glimpses of Wonder: Reflections on Jehovah’s Remarkable Design

 

Everywhere we look, traces of wisdom, beauty, and purpose surround us. Glimpses of Wonder invites readers on a journey through the marvels of Jehovah’s creation—from the tiniest creatures to the grandest cosmic patterns.

 

Through vivid storytelling and thoughtful reflection, each entry uncovers something extraordinary: the engineering behind a bird’s wing, the secrets of glowing sea life, the chemistry of smell, or even the silent language of trees. Some entries make us laugh. Others make us think. But all are rooted in the awe that Jehovah’s handiwork inspires.

 

Blending science, history, and heartfelt curiosity, Glimpses of Wonder is more than a celebration of creation—it’s a call to pause, notice, and give credit where it’s due.

You Talk Funny - English!

English is a funny language, not just because of its confusing grammar and spelling but because it refuses to stay the same. It adapts, morphs, and picks up odd phrases as it travels the globe. Whether you’re from Massachusetts, Manchester, or Melbourne, English speakers everywhere have their quirks—and sometimes, they can leave you scratching your head (or banging a “u-ey” in frustration). Let’s take a tour of English quirks and laugh along the way.   From Trousers to Thongs (No, Not

Why Didn’t Noah Kill Those Two Mosquitoes?

Why Didn’t Noah Kill Those Two Mosquitoes?   In today’s Glimpses of Wonder, we explore a question that blends humor with profound insight: Why didn’t Noah kill those two mosquitoes? Picture Noah, after decades of labor constructing the ark and gathering the animals, finally seeking rest. Yet, amid the calm, the familiar high-pitched buzz of mosquitoes fills the air. Surely, swatting them would have been tempting! But Noah’s actions reflect something far deeper: obedience to Jehovah’s i

The Tree of Ténéré: Nature’s Solitary Marvel

The Tree of Ténéré stood as a testament to resilience, a lone acacia (Vachellia tortilis) surviving in the vast Sahara Desert of Niger. Known as the most isolated tree on Earth, it was the only tree for 250 miles in any direction, a solitary sentinel in one of the harshest environments on the planet. Estimated to be approximately 300 years old, the Tree of Ténéré had weathered centuries of harsh desert conditions. Despite its remarkable endurance, the Tree of Ténéré met a tragic and unexpected e

The Speech That Never Was: Nixon’s Contingency Plan for a Moon Disaster

The Power of One Letter: How Tiny Mistakes Shaped Bible Translation

The Power of One Letter: How Tiny Mistakes Shaped Bible Translation It only takes one letter. One small mark, a tiny stroke, and the meaning of a word can shift like sand in the wind. When it comes to everyday language, a single misplaced letter might cause little more than a chuckle—like mistyping “form” as “from” and suddenly changing the entire meaning of a sentence. But when it comes to the Bible, history has shown that a single letter can mean the difference between clarity and confusi
