(Joh 6:11) Jesus took the bread, and after giving thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting there; he did likewise with the small fish, and they had as much as they wanted. If the fine wine Jesus provided was any indication, no doubt this was fine quality, as Jesus provided the best. Of course the spiritual food was by far the most valuable thing he imparted that day—oh, to have been there for both.

Time to review Daniel 11:40-45.

Igloos serve as awesome insulators.

From the article: "Across the country, law enforcement agencies spy on believers, often using agents who pose as people interested in the Bible. For months — sometimes years — they secretly record conversations and later testify in court as anonymous witnesses." It may or may not happen in the U.S., where we currently enjoy relative freedom, but if it does, I expect the same tactics will be used. However, they will not succeed in silencing Jehovah's people. I will have my brothers and sisters in my prayers.

Humans are the only ones known to shed emotional tears. I am adding that point for clarity. That does not mean animals do not cry emotionally. Many animals vocalize when they feel fear, loss, stress, or bonding. Dogs whine when distressed. Elephants make strong emotional sounds and show grief behaviors. These are real emotional expressions, even though they do not involve tears. So emotional tears are unique to humans, but emotional crying and vocal expression are not.

There are news about Russian citizens evacuating out from Israel as Russian Government mandate.

The apostles sat down to eat that day with no idea what Jehovah was about to do. They followed Jesus’ instructions, even though the situation did not make sense. Only afterward did they see how Jehovah blessed the experience. - John 6:5–13 That pattern shows up again and again in the Bible. Jehovah often asks His servants to move first. Understanding comes later. When Israel needed to cross the Jordan River, it was at flood stage. The priests were told to step into the rushing water while carrying the Ark. The river did not stop before they moved. It stopped only after their feet were in the water. - Joshua 3:13, 15–17 Jehovah could have parted the river first. But He didn’t. He waited for obedience. Sometimes serving Jehovah means taking steps without seeing the outcome. We may want answers before we move. Jehovah often gives answers after. Today, the organization sometimes reorganizes congregations. Kingdom Halls are used more fully. Some are asked to travel farther or adjust long-standing routines. That can feel unsettling. It is easy to list reasons why the change feels hard. Yet we have been prepared for moments like this. We have been told to trust direction even when we do not understand it. And to watch how Jehovah blesses obedience. - Hebrews 13:17 My wife and I are experiencing this right now. After sixteen years, we will be part of a different congregation. We are grateful for the blessings we received where we were. We are also a little anxious. That is honest. Isaiah 41:10 But we know something else too. If we never step forward, we will never see what Jehovah has prepared. Blessings often appear only after we are willing to move. Sometimes faith means getting our feet wet first. Only then does the way open.

Bats are the only mammals that fly.

I seriously doubt any of them actually exist. The only reason they are suggested is because the calculations of physicists do not match the observations. So rather than assuming their whole model is wrong, they made up dark matter and dark energy to justify their numbers. "Dark" here means impossible to detect. When you suggest there is some matter that is attracted by gravity but is impossible to detect or measure by any means, to me that is not a scientific theory, it's just speculation. I used to love Physics, but lately I no longer read much about it because it's all nonsense. Dark matter, string theory, multiverses... A lot of silly speculation and nothing of science.

Friday, January 9 Where will we buy bread for these people to eat?—John 6:5. Bread was a staple for many in Bible times. (Gen. 14:18; Luke 4:4) In fact, it was so important that the Bible sometimes uses “bread” to mean food in general. (Matt. 6:11; Acts 20:7, study note) Bread was also a central feature in two of Jesus’ well-known miracles. (Matt. 16:9, 10) We find one of those accounts in John chapter 6. After Jesus’ apostles had finished a preaching tour, Jesus took them along by boat across the Sea of Galilee so that they could rest. (Mark 6:7, 30-32;Luke 9:10) They came to an isolated spot in the area of Bethsaida. Soon, though, thousands of people arrived and crowded around. Jesus did not ignore them. He kindly took time to teach them about the Kingdom and to cure the sick. As it was getting late, the disciples wondered how all those people could get something to eat. Some of them perhaps had limited provisions, but most would need to go into the villages and buy food.—Matt. 14:15. w24.12 2 ¶1-2

Looks like allies of KOTN are collapsing fast.. Syria, Venezuela and now those events in Iran. Also KOTS starts to make big moves against KOTN …. shadow tankers and upcoming huge secondary oil sanctions … something will give. Russia is already struggling economically.

Today I am so grateful for the beauty that surrounded me this morning. I'll see if I can upload a photo ... The view is from my window in the writing room. What beauty I'm referring to, is the white mountains and the pink northern sky (sun below the horizon until 28-ish Jan). Sorry for all the trees blocking the view. It's called "dark time", because the daylight only lasts a few hours. But what light it is during those hours! (If the sky is clear). I feel compelled to quote Psalm 145:7a: "They will bubble over as they recall your abundant goodness" (The actual photo is from Jan 6, but today was the same beauty. I sit there and sip my morning coffee)
