Happy Birthday, JESUS!

          Christmas is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ. “I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ‘’~Charles Dickens

   The Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide-open heart that reflects of others first. The spirit behind Christmas is that of giving and sharing. In the Bible, we learn of how the wise men, on learning about the new born child, came calling with gifts of gold. We should also be like these who understood the virtue in giving. It is through giving that we receive. Sometimes, the gains may not be natural but spiritual. Christmas is not all about merrymaking. We must also spare time to reflect on the essence of the period, which is the love of God for humanity.

   We don’t need gifts, Christmas lights and Christmas tree to feel the true essence of Christmas. It’s about the love our family and friends, We must love each other, infinity and beyond. ‘’The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:  the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.’’ ~Burton Hillis

Climate Change, Save The Earth

Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions. Greenhouse gases are heat trapping gases which causes the rapid warming of the Earth. The Earth’s climate is dynamic and always changing through a natural cycle. These changes are being studied by scientist.

Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Scientists have high confidence that global temperatures will continue to rise for decades to come, largely due to greenhouse gasses produced by human activities. Significant changes in climate change are occurring because of increases in average temperature. The implications of future climate change have become well understood in scientific and community circles. Climate change essentially is about global temperatures and evidence keeps mounting. The understanding of the quantification of human influences in climate has improved since 2001. The global rise in temperature during the past 150 years is considered by climatologists to be the most rapid warming the planet has seen in 10,000 years.

          If this phenomenon continues, all of us will be affected. Too much heat will occur and different diseases would come out such as heat strokes and skin diseases that may possible to a lead of cancerous disease. We must reduce the consumption of fossil fuels to protect our planet.
