Thanks for tuning in, it's an honor to be with you.

As we study God's Word together, may our time uplift and encourage you.

If you could use some hope, I pray you find it here today.

Would you like to worry less?

Maybe, even not worry at all?

Well, it is possible.

The past several weeks, we've been talking about receiving the love of God,

about drinking deeply from His well of love, so we can love and serve others.

Receiving God means trusting in what He offers.

And according to Scripture, He offers you a worry-free life.

I pray this episode helps you to remember God's faithfulness and to experience His peace.

Well, the idea captured the fancy of futuristic scientists and eight-story glass and steel dome

in which eight scientists would spend 24 months leading a self-sustained life.

The outside elements of the Sonora Desert would not touch them,

you could let the sun blaze, the wind blow, and the sand fly,

but these researchers would be safe within the dome.

So with the hope of developing a space colony prototype, $200 million were spent on the biosphere.

And the biosphereians entered this three-acre terrarium in 1991.

You remember the story.

They planted their seeds, they grew their food,

scientists watched with fascination, and I got to confess, I watched with a bit of envy.

I remember thinking, well, I'd love a place like that to laugh.
