Why Bumblebees Fly
There have been many articles concerning the fact bumblebees aren't built for
flying. Their bodies are too large for their wings, and flight defies the laws
of aerodynamics. This baffled the scientific world for many years. They had no
explanation for this phenomena.
A lot of Sunday morning messages are still based on this riddle, and many
preachers have gotten a lot of good points across, as to how God does the
impossible by using the bumblebee example.
However, scientists later discovered the answer to this mystery. The easiest
way for me to explain it is that bumblebees are the helicopters of the insect
world. Because their wings are so much smaller than their body, the usual
flapping up and down could never get them airborne.
A helicopter's wings are also smaller than the body of the craft and it doesn't
look as if it could ever lift off the ground, either. Yet, because of the
rotation of the blades, it can rise straight up, go down, or sideways. Evidently,
bumblebee wings operate on that same principle.
I find it so amazing that God created helicopters long before man did...and we
didn't even realize it. God winks at our wisdom!
The Bible records many miracles. I have noticed that several of them seem as if God has taken the natural and used it in an unnatural way to bring about the supernatural. For example: the Flood (worldwide rain, plus underwater earthquakes), the destruction of Sodom, and even David slaying Goliath, to name a few.
Then, there are other miracles that have no natural explanation at all. For instance, the raising of the dead, and men blind since birth suddenly able to see, just because Jesus declared it. One of the most incredible was two men defying the law of gravity and walking on top of the Sea. This is physically and scientifically impossible. One was half God and half man...Jesus. The other was totally human...Peter. Jesus just called to him and bid His friend to come out to Him. It was by faith, that Peter stepped out of the boat and actually walked on the water, for a while. When he took his eyes off Jesus and looked at his surroundings, Peter's faith failed and he began to sink...but he did walk!
Perhaps, beyond the scientific explanation, this is the real reason bumblebees fly. God told them to, and they believe they can!

The Home Place Mission had a former site and the time came where we had to switch web site hosts. Our email had to be changed as well. In transferring the articles over, every effort was made to correct any inferences to the old email address (the new one is on the home page). Also, all articles containing hyper links were needing updated too. Please forgive us if some things may have been overlooked. Because this page is in a blog format, the date we transferred each article over is what shows under the title when opened. The correct date each article was written is beside the title under the category column. We apologize for the blog format, as it is not as "user-friendly" as our old site but we do hope you find the articles encouraging and are blessed by the insights shared! Thank you for reading!
