Arctic sea ice melt comes close, but misses record

Arctic sea ice melt comes close, but misses record

WASHINGTON -
Crucial Arctic sea ice this summer shrank to its second lowest level on record, scientists said Tuesday.

Sea ice hit its low on Friday, covering 1.74 million square miles (4.5 million sq. kilometers) of the Arctic, marking a low point for this summer. That is according to NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado. Last summer it covered only 1.59 million square miles (4.1 million sq. kilometers), the lowest since record-keeping began in 1979.

Arctic sea ice, which expands in winter and retreats in summer, is crucial to worldwide weather patterns and helps reflect heat. Scientists predict summer ice could disappear altogether within 10 years. -AP

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

The Parable of the Lost Sheep:

"A Sermon
(No. 1801)
Delivered on Lord's-Day Morning, September 28th, 1884, by
C. H. SPURGEON,
At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington


'What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance'—Luke 15:4-7."
