16. “This is how much God
loved the world: He gave his
Son, his one and only Son.
And this is why: so that no
one need be destroyed; by
believing in him, anyone
can have a whole and
lasting life. God didn’t go to
all the trouble of sending
his Son merely to point an
accusing finger, telling the
world how bad it was. He
came to help, to put the
world right again.
Important to get a correct perspective of who we are and where we are.
Solar System: SUN & 8 PLANETS. Earth orbits the Sun at an average distance of 149.60 million km (92.96 million mi), and one complete orbit takes 365.256 days, during which time Earth has traveled 940 million km
The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with a diameter between 150,000 and 200,000 light-years. It is estimated to contain 100–400 billion stars and more than 100 billion planets. [One light-year is about 6 trillion miles (9 trillion km). That is a 6 with 12 zeros behind it!]
The observable universe is estimated to contain 200 billion to two trillion galaxies. Several thousand galaxies, each consisting of billions of stars, are in this small view. XDF (2012) view: Each light speck is a galaxy, some of which are as old as 13.2 billion years –The Virgo Cluster is the closest and best-studied great cluster of galaxies,. Cosmographically, the Virgo Cluster is the nucleus of the Local Supercluster of galaxies (AKA the Laniakea Supercluster), in whose outskirts we (in the Milky Way, in the Local Group) are situated.
The Local Supercluster or Local SCl; also called Laniakea Supercluster is the galaxy supercluster that is home to the Milky Way and approximately 100,000 other nearby galaxies. Radius: 250 million light years Distance to Earth: 251.1 million light years
Like the man, God holds the universe on His fingertip…imagine there are 10 million bumps on the surface of the basketball. Each bump representing a supercluster of galaxies. Imagine the man / God shrinking Himself to a dot to enter one tiny bump…the Laniakea supercluster…then He shrinks further to enter the Virgo Cluster,,,the Milky Way,,,the Solar System…Earth….Israel….Bethleham where he finally shrinks Himself into a baby in a manger that first Christmas. That’s a lot of shrinking and emptying.

The typical approach to self-improvement is to set a large goal, then try to take big leaps in order to accomplish the goal in as little time as possible. While this may sound good in theory, it often ends in burnout, frustration, discouragement and failure. Instead, we should focus on continuous improvement by slowly and slightly adjusting our normal everyday habits and behaviors.
In the beginning, there is basically no difference between making a choice that is 1 percent better or 1 percent worse. (In other words, it won't impact you very much today.) But as time goes on, these small improvements or declines compound and you suddenly find a very big gap between people who make slightly better decisions on a daily basis and those who don't.
By analyzing the mechanics area in the team truck, we discovered that dust was accumulating on the floor, undermining bike maintenance. So we painted the floor white, in order to spot any impurities. We hired a surgeon to teach our athletes about proper hand-washing so as to avoid illnesses during competition (we also decided not to shake any hands during the Olympics). We were precise about food preparation. We brought our own mattresses and pillows so our athletes could sleep in the same posture every night.
