WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GINGER?

"Fresh ginger root
is actually the rhizome of the
ginger (Zingiber officinale) plant.
Choose a smooth, shiny root that
has some buds beginning.
These will look similar to
the eyes of a potato.” 

 

The Book of Ruth
“So Ruth stayed close
to the servant girls
of Boaz to glean until
the barley and wheat
harvests were finished.
And she lived with her
mother-in-law.”
Ruth 2:23
(Read all of Ruth 2
for the entire story.)

A farmer remembers . . .
1800’s to early 1900’s

“When I was old enough
to go to the
field with Father,
he would plant grain,
broadcasting it
with his hands. Whenever
he finished planting
a patch of grain,
he would take off his hat
and ask that the Lord would
protect it, and bless it
that he might be able to
harvest a crop.

Before his death, he said
he had planted and harvested crops
for some fifty-five years,
and had never lost a crop.“

The Hubble Got the Rubble
Listen up, hang on, and watch a show moving 11,000 miles per hour.   Photographs, by the Hubble Space Telescope, showed scientists a mysterious asteroid collision.  Here’s a view from NASA.

 

Why all the excitement?  
This is a first; no one has seen an asteroid collision.  The photo may not seem impressive, but you are viewing the rubble from the asteroids blown to smithereens (or bits).   What you’re seeing is the asteroid leaving a dust trail from the break-up.   

How do they know the “object” isn’t a comet?   Comets have a tail, but come from an icy region.   The ice turns into a gas as comets near the sun.   This object is rocky and hundreds and thousands of scientists are now on alert watching the sky and trying to figure out what IT really may be.   They named the new addition   P/2010 A2.   Lovely.   (I’m glad my parents didn’t name me the year of my birth.)     

The impact of the asteroids would rival a nuclear bomb.   Did you hear that?  Two asteroids bump and BOOM!   Shoo—aren’t you glad the explosion was 90,000 miles away?
