The Strange Number 75

To contact us Click HERE


It was funny because we entered the church and there were photos posted on the wall in a glass case and it said the church is celebrating its 75th b day. We live in Lot 75 in this trailer park. Abraham was 75 when he moved to another place it mentions this in the Bible. 75 - an important number.


The number 75 continued: August 9, 2007: The medicine I take for depression is Effexor XR 75 mg. per dose/pill. Then my son saw on a wrapper for a straw on a juice carton the number 75. I thought that was noteworthy.

The 9 Planets of the Solar System:
The Sun
The sun is shaped like a ball and it is huge in size. More than a hundred earths could fit across it, side by side. It would take the fastest rocket a year to travel to the sun. The sun is very bright and very hot. The sun glows, like a light bulb wire, and does not burn like wood. The sun glows hotter and brighter than a million H-bombs all shooting off at once. Nothing can be solid on the sun because it is so hot, not even iron. The great heat on the sun makes iron float around like a cloud of steam. The sun turns like the other planets and it takes nearly a month to make a full turn. Sometimes there are dark spots on the sun and they are called sun patches. All around the sun there is a silvery fog which is called the corona. The corona cannot be seen by us on earth because the sky around the sun is so bright. The sun is billions of years old, sending heat and light out into space. The earth gets only a tiny part of this light and heat, but it is enough to make plants grow and to give us life.

Mercury
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun. It is less than half as wide as the earth. In less than 3 months Mercury travels around the sun. The sunny side of Mercury is hotter than an oven. The side away from Mercury is cooler than we can imagine. Nothing can live on the planet Mercury.

Venus
Venus is the brightest planet in the sky. It is earth’s nearest planet neighbor. It takes Venus 7 months to go around the sun. This planet is always covered with clouds and it is very hot on Venus, much hotter than it ever gets on earth.

Earth
The size of the earth is the largest of the four planets comprising the inner group (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars), and it is the third closest to the sun. The earth is shaped like an oblate spheroid, which means it is almost ball-shaped, or spherical, except for a slight flattening at the poles. This flattening, and an accompanying bulge at the equator, are produced by the centrifugal force of rotation. As we know, the earth has 1 moon. The earth has a polar diameter of about 7900 miles (the equatorial diameter is approximately 27 miles greater because of the bulge described above). The circumference of the earth is about 24,874 miles, and the surface area comprises roughly 197 million square miles, of which about 51 million square miles (29 per cent) are surface lands. The remaining 71 per cent of the earth’s surface is covered by water. Like all planets, the earth rotates around the sun in its own orbit and period of revolution. In addition to its trip around the sun, the earth also rotates. The earth turns on its axis (the shortest diameter connecting the poles), and this turning motion is called rotation. The earth rotates from west to east and makes one complete rotation each day. It is this rotating motion that gives us the alternating periods of daylight and darkness which we know as day and night. It takes the sun 365 ¼ days to orbit (in slightly elliptical orbit) around the sun.

The Earth’s Moon
The size of earth’s moon is more than 2000 miles wide. It takes a fast rocket more than 2 days to get to the moon. Everything on the moon is covered with dust--dry, with dust. There is no air. There is no water. In the sunshine, it is as hot as the inside of a baking oven. But in the shade, it is colder than dry ice.

The moon has high, sharp peaks. There are huge, round holes everywhere, and these holes are called craters. Some of these craters are so big that it would take a whole day to drive around one crater in a fast moving car.

The moon has no light of its own and can only catch some light from the faraway sun and throw it down to the earth which is called reflected light. The moon is shaped like a ball, and depending on how much sunlight the moon gets, that determines if it is a full, half, or quarter moon. The gravity of the earth pulls the moon and keeps it from going into space.

Mars
Mars is a little more than half as wide as the earth. This planet takes nearly 2 years to go around the sun. On Mars it gets never warmer than one of our summer days. At night it gets very, very cold there---almost as cold as dry ice. Mars is the only planet that might have a little air and water. Perhaps some plants could live there, but nobody really knows for sure. Mars shines with a reddish color. It has 2 tiny moons of its own.

Jupiter
Jupiter is the giant of the solar system and it is 11 times as wide as the earth. It is so big that more than a thousand earths could be packed into it. Jupiter takes almost 12 years to make a trip around the sun. It is always very, very cold on Jupiter. This planet has 12 moons.

Saturn
Saturn is nearly 10 times as wide as the earth. It takes almost 30 years to go once around the sun. This is the only planet that has a ring around it. The ring is made up of swarms of small stones. Besides the ring, there are 9 moons going around Saturn. Noting at all could live on Saturn. It is even colder than Jupiter.

Uranus
Uranus is 4 times as wide as the earth and has 5 moons of its own. It takes Uranus 84 years to go around the sun. Nothing could live on Uranus. It is far, far too cold there.

Neptune
Neptune is nearly 4 times as wide as the earth and it has 2 moons. It takes Neptune 165 years to go around the sun. This planet is also way too cold for anything to be able to live there.

Pluto
Pluto is smaller than the earth and it has 2 moons. It takes Pluto 250 years to travel around the sun. Pluto gets almost no light or heat from the sun because it is so very far away. From Pluto, the sun would look as tiny as a star.

How gravity works:

Make a hole through the middle of a potato. Put a long string through the hole, and tie it tightly. Hold the other end of the string, and swing the potato around in circles. You will feel the strong pull of the string.

You are the earth, and the potato is the moon. The pull of the string is the pull of gravity. The pull makes the moon stay in its path as it goes around and around the earth.

Facts about Water versus Cola

To contact us Click HERE


Water
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study!

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Properties of COKE
1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days (meat will completely dissolve).

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminium foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a wash load and run a regular wash cycle.

Environmental Duties

Just think of the mountains of trash humanity has and is creating on this earth. In the Bible it talks about the site that was always burning where the trash went. I need to look up to see what that place was called again. If anyone knows please let me know.


Every time you open a can made of tin, or you have glass bottles or jars, or have old phone books, papers, plastic bottles, or anything to throw away, think of the trash mountains getting bigger and bigger. This past summer I was on a trip to Paris TN with people from a group and we passed a huge trash dump in my area and I could smell the horrible smell of decaying things. It smelled so rotten. I thought about the people living near the dump and thought they must surely hate that smell. I pitied them so much.


Here in Tennessee where I live there is still no recycling for phone books and the recycling is just not the priority of the people in this area where I live. I find this terrible. I keep thinking of the trash mountains getting bigger and bigger all over the world. Not enough things getting recycled at all. Nobody really is caring enough about these matters. I wrote to my congressman Mr. Pitts and he said he'd look into it but he never got back to me. I wonder what he has done. He can't make people care but maybe he could make recycling the norm here in this state.


People take from the nature that God made and then as thank You to God they make trash mountains and God is seeing this and smelling this from heaven.


I would like if everyone got together and send mail to their congress people and spread the news to have recycling to increase and increase until all the waste disappears. It should be our top priority if we care about the miraculous life God gave us. Go look up your congressman online and email him or her and ask for more recycling and that you think if is urgent. I will have to remind my congressman what he has done so far because this is urgent and I didn't ask him to help just for a passing pastime but for an urgent request for the environment!!


Do the best you can to also help the environment and forward and also copy and paste this email to as many as you can think of. Also write your congressman and to environmental agencies to have things change. This is everyone’s job to make it better.

What I think of Jon Stewart!!

To contact us Click HERE


Jon Stewart is a comedian on the Comedy Central channel and he has a 30 minute comedy news show called "The Daily Show." I used to watch his show but then I wondered why Jon Stewart makes fun of people instead of helping to right things that he sees as wrong in these people. I emailed Jon at his show at Comedy Central and I never received a reply so therefore Jon is not in my favorite group of people.

Jon Stewart thinks it is fun to make fun of people and that is how he makes his money and I understand that. Rick Sanchez, a news anchor on CNN took his "making fun of people a little too serious" and when Mr. Sanchez said that Jon Stewart is a bigot, he got fired by CNN last week. I think Mr. Sanchez also commented on CNN and that probably was why he also got fired. Anyway, I don't think Jon Stewart is a bigot because he makes fun of all races and ethnicities equally and he has comedians on his show from Muslim, to Indian, to African American, to white Americans, so the bigot thing has got to be wrong.

On the Daily Show clip I watched today on which Jon Stewart commented on Rick Sanchez getting fired, he said that he has as a guest an atheist. This is the way Jon is. He isn't a bigot and he invites anyone even if he don't believe that this is the right thing to do. All the TV personalities do because if they don't then they discrimiate. So to be a rich TV personality or celebrity you have to overlook your beliefs and I see that as wrong, very wrong,  because if I think it is bad to be an atheist then I won't invite them and if I am forced to invite them and talk to them then I will not crawl into their behind but instead quit being a celebrity TV personality. I feel Jon Stewart lacks the backbone to do this though which makes me sad for him and I will continue to pray for him.
