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.

A Glimpses of Wonder Entry     Let’s face it—if you hear an annoying rattle outside your window at sunrise, odds are good it’s not your neighbor’s car. It’s a woodpecker.

The Leaf’s Real Agenda: Carbon Construction, Not Air Supply

We’ve been taught to thank trees for our oxygen. But while it’s true that green plants release oxygen during photosynthesis, that’s not why they do it. Oxygen isn’t their purpose—it’s their by-product. Their real work? Carbon construction.   Photosynthesis is a brilliant design by Jehovah, not primarily to refresh the air, but to build life from the air. Every blade of grass, every leaf on every tree, is on a mission: to pull carbon dioxide (CO₂) out of the atmosphere, extract the carb
