Penguin First Aid

2012-07-28T17:52:00Z

Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae) are a group of aquatic, flightless birds living almost exclusively in the southern hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have countershaded dark and white plumage, and their wings have become flippers. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid, and other forms of sealife caught while swimming underwater. They spend about half of their lives on land and half in the oceans.

Although all penguin species are native to the southern hemisphere, they are not found only in cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a few species of penguin live so far south. Several species are found in the temperate zone, and one species, the Galápagos Penguin, lives near the equator.

A desert is a landscape or region that receives an extremely low amount of precipitation, less than enough to support growth of most plants. Most deserts have an average annual precipitation of less than 400 millimetres (16 in).[1] A common definition distinguishes between true deserts, which receive less than 250 millimetres (10 in) of average annual precipitation, and semideserts or steppes, which receive between 250 millimetres (10 in) and 400 to 500 millimetres (16 to 20 in).[1][2]

Deserts can also be described as areas where more water is lost by evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation.[1] In the Köppen climate classification system, deserts are classed as BWh (hot desert) or BWk (temperate desert). In the Thornthwaite climate classification system, deserts would be classified as arid megathermal climates.[3][4]

Deserts are part of a wide classification of regions that, on an average annual basis, have a moisture deficit (i.e. they lose more moisture than they receive).[2] Measurement of rainfall alone cannot provide an accurate definition of what a desert is because being arid also depends on evaporation, which depends in part on temperature. For example, Phoenix, Arizona receives less than 250 millimeters (10 in) of precipitation per year, and is immediately recognized as being located in a desert due to its arid adapted plants. The North Slope of Alaska's Brooks Range also receives less than 250 millimeters (10 in) of precipitation per year and is often classified as a cold desert.[5] Other regions of the world have cold deserts, including areas of the Himalayas[6] and other high altitude areas in other parts of the world.[7] Polar deserts cover much of the ice free areas of the arctic and Antarctic.[8][9] An alternative definition describes deserts as parts of earth that don't have a sufficient vegetation cover to support human population.[10]

John 4 Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman 1 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. 4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

GOD is Patient

2011-06-08T16:30:00Z

You, O Lord, are a God of mercy and grace, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. Psalm 86:15

Paul referred to God as “the God of Patience.” The Bible calls on us to be like Christ, and to put on, like a coat, a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. God’s Word says we are to put up with each other’s little annoying habits, and forgive one another, just as God has forgiven us.

Thankfully, God is patient with us, and slow to anger. That phrase in the original language (Hebrew) means “long anger.” God works a long time in our lives to help us get our act together and obey Him fully, without getting angry.

As we allow God to patiently work in our lives, we will become more like Jesus in our actions and attitudes.

When you pray, thank God that He never gives up on us, and continues to work patiently with us.

Say or sing these words from “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee.”

Thou art giving and forgiving,

Ever blessing, ever blest,

Well-spring of the joy of living,

Ocean depth of happy rest!

Thou our Father, Christ our brother,

All who live in love are thine;

Teach us how to love each other,

Lift us to the joy divine.

Henry van Dyke
