The ocean keeps its secrets better than any soul on earth. On December 5, 1872, in the vast, rolling expanse of the Atlantic between the Azores and Portugal, the crew of the Canadian brigantine *Dei Gratia* spotted a ship drifting aimlessly. Her sails were set but tattered, and she moved with an unnerving, erratic grace, like a phantom dancing to a song no one could hear. She was the *Mary Celeste*, and she was utterly, eerily alone.

Christians and the World
The Bible was written for God’s people about the world and its state. It shows us our never-ending need for God. As sin entered the world, it began its decline into eternal damnation. But God had a plan—a plan to reclaim His creation. And while we are in the world, He tells us we are not of the world. There is a difference between our needs and desires and those of the world. I have read the Old Testament and the New Testament and have had marvelous lessons in learning about His Creation, His love for us, and His plan to bring us back home, where we belong. Our home is Heaven. The best book to fully understand Jesus for who He is and what He represents is the Book of John. It is my favorite book. We see Jesus as the man who came to dwell among us, showing us how to have faith in God. And, we see Jesus as God. This Book points to His deity.

Deadly Worlds in Universe
Imagine a planet where taking a single breath doesn't fill your lungs with air—but with acid. Initially, scientists believed Gliese 581c might be similar to Earth and capable of supporting life, based on its location in the so-called "habitable zone" around its star. However, that hope came only from observing it from afar.
