Do you have any idea how glorious the world around you really is? Consider the multitude of gifts of our earthly existence that are far beyond what our very limited human bodies can interpret or fully experience. While humans can hear from 20 to 20,000 Hz (vibrations per second), a bat can hear up to […]
