God’s Magnificent Creation
Our spectacular sun is an average-sized star but is still so big that over one million earths could fit inside it! The largest star known is Stephenson 2-18. About 10 billion of our suns could fit inside it!
Our amazing sun, as a result of nuclear fusion, reaches 10,000°F at the surface. That is five times hotter than molten rock from a volcano!
A bar-tailed godwit (bird) is small in comparison to stars but also is an astonishing creation. It was tagged by scientists with a GPS tracker. It migrated 8,435 continuous miles (non-stop) from Alaska to Tasmania in only eleven days (October 13-24, 2022). Obviously, a record!

This trip is not going to be much longer than usual – by two days only. However, I am expecting great things to happen during my time in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Bryansk, Rostov Velikiy, Kolomna, and Nizhniy Novgorod. First of all, I will have the rare opportunity to pay a second visit to some of the same places I just taught in a couple of month ago.
This will give me a chance to see the progress my audiences will have made on their academic and/or spiritual journey. It is usually from local ministry partners that I learn the effect my teaching makes on the class or a study group. This time, I deliberately chose pretty much the same route I traveled last December in order to do the follow-up myself.
