For centuries, the story of what happened to the ancient Roman city of Pompeii has captivated the world. The city lost and buried by the ash and volcanic debris of Mount Vesuvius remains a testament to nature’s fury, a tragic time capsule of life some 2,000 years ago. Opening to the public at the Houston […]
Mars continues to fade a little bit each night now that Earth has overtaken it and is pulling away. However, it fades out gradually; Mars remains brighter than the stars around it in February 2021. And Mars is high in the southwest–well placed for observing right as night falls. Jupiter and Saturn emerge slowly from the Sun’s […]
Whether you optimistically jumped into the new year or took small baby steps, we can all agree that last year was one for the books. Not only did 2020 became synonymous with adversity, disappointment, and frustration, but we were inundated by dismal news for so long that we probably forgot there was any other kind. […]
Most of the museum’s Egyptian collections are on display in the Hall of Ancient Egypt, supplemented by loans from other institutions. What is kept in our object storage is generally material that’s not so exciting, well preserved, or important. For a long time, though, there was an exception: this mound of loose beads. Made of […]
When I am on my own, I can be easily crumbled. When I am folded, I can fly. If you use me correctly, I can build a structure as high as the sky. What am I? If you guessed paper, you got it right! Paper is an extremely versatile resource that we use to take […]

Growing up in Beaumont, I many times visited the small park near downtown that contained a monument to Dick Dowling and the victory at Sabine Pass. Most remarkable was the "walking beam" removed from the captured Union vessel CLIFTON on display in the park. It was a black iron, diamond-shaped object about ten feet long and five feet high that was an integral part of the propulsion system of steam vessels of that era. One end of the device would be connected to the vertical piston of the steam engine, while the other end would connect to the crank powering the side wheel paddles. The rocking motion of this beam would turn the crank to rotate the paddles. The city school system also paid tribute with the Dick Dowling Junior High School, one of four intermediate schools named for Texas heroes (Austin, Bowie, Crockett.)

Beetles are just one of the many things our Creator declares in Scripture to be 'unclean' and an 'abomination' to us. We eat (or are caused to eat) things that were never meant for our consumption for various reasons (they are environmental cleaners, filters, etc.) and wonder why we have illness and disease. Better also check the ingredients for the vaxx they want to bypass the firewall of your digestive system with and pump straight into your bloodstream (animal tissue proteins, mercury, aluminum, human fetal cells!!!).
