Over the past few years I’ve been learning some amazing things about gardening.  The most important thing I’ve learned is the condition and health of my garden soil.  The condition of the soil is referring to the macro and micro nutrients that are present, while the health of the soil is referring to the micro organisms, such as bacterium and fungi. and macro organisms such as earthworms. Most people are familiar with the big three, N(nitrogen), P(phosphorus), K(potassium).  For the most part, these three are the main focus of commercial agriculture’s chemical farming, and yes, they a… [Read more]

Would you like to know if you're really a Christian? Maybe someone will say ... "I live my life right." No. That's not proof of anything. Many people live properly without Jesus. They have an external morality and look very good. There are people of high morals, who would also be able to take off their shirt and give it to a needy person, and yet is capable of cursing.

I understand where … [Read more]

It's like a domino effect. Lower blood plasma clotting factors in turn produce lower levels of coagulation factors. The low coagulation factors prevent the formation of fibrin. And the result, well the blood flows because it takes much longer to produce a blood clot. The ladies, almost never experience the recessive X chromosome disorder. A deficiency in clotting factor VIII will happen in about 1 and 10K males, and a deficiency in clotting factor IX will happen in about 1 and 20K-34K males. We know it today as hemophilia B. And it's nicknamed the "Royal Disease". And it has … [Read more]

I was recently asked by a high school student at the Christian school I work at if I thought Spiderman was a good representation of a 'type of Christ'. He then proceeded to outline the parallels and draw comparisons between Jesus and Peter Parker. I was rather taken back by the question because I have personally logged countless hours of research in the area of super heroes and their origins while putting together the documentary The Replacement gods. I've read the biographies and seen the video clips of many anti-Christian creators of the popular comic heroes spilling the beans about their di… [Read more]
