While going to photograph a sunrise, I noticed a door on the beach.
It was small and perhaps not quite a “door”.
But I’m glad it was there to give me an excuse to post something.

Six Sentence Story: My Sunset, Your Sunrise
At the end of the day in Tampa, Greg went to Clearwater Beach (latitude 27.9772, longitude -82.8279) to watch the sun set. Earlier that day he saw the sun rise on Miami Beach.
As the sun began its entry below the waters of the Gulf of America, Greg quickly phoned his brother on a boat in the Indian Ocean near the Cocos Islands (latitude -27.9772, longitude 97.1721) to ask him, “Where do you see the sun in the sky where you are right now?”
“Right now it’s rising in the east,” his brother said.
“How is it possible that I’m seeing the sun half-way below the horizon in the west while you’re watching it rise half-way above the horizon in the east?”
“That’s what you get when you talk to someone on the opposite side of a globe.”

There’s not much to this story except that I have some friends who have been trying to convince me that the earth is flat. This is sort of a rebuttal to their argument.
I was also looking for an opportunity to use the new name, Gulf of America. It took a minute to make the AI tool in the Brave browser admit that the correct name is the Gulf of America considering my current location in Florida although it tried to convince me otherwise.

Hebrews 4:9-11 KJV – 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Six Sentence Story: Dragons
“When it comes to dragons I’m with Saint George,” Paul said.
“You’d wound or even kill them?”
“With a sword,” Paul affirmed.
“They’ll go extinct!” Paul’s opposition cried.
“Precisely,” Paul said resting on a bunch of obvious assumptions which, since they’re obvious, don’t need to be stated.
At this point I must confess that I don’t know where this story’s going so I’ll just end it by saying, I’m with Paul, or, if you prefer, being more with Paul’s opposition, just pretend I said, Look, squirrel!
