Entomology - The World of Insects

Mike Crawford

Insects are among the most diverse and ecologically significant organisms on Earth, playing essential roles in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. As the largest group of living creatures, with millions of species identified and many more yet to be discovered, insects contribute to biodiversity, food webs, and ecosystem stability in ways that are often overlooked. Their presence and activities influence plant life, soil health, and the survival of countless other species, making them indispensable to natural processes.
One of the most crucial roles insects play is pollination. Many flowering plants, including a significant portion of the world’s crops, depend on insects such as bees, butterflies, and beetles to transfer pollen between flowers, enabling reproduction. Without insect pollinators, ecosystems would struggle to sustain plant diversity, and agricultural yields would decline drastically, threatening food supplies for both humans and wildlife. The economic and ecological value of insect pollination is immeasurable, reinforcing the importance of conserving pollinator populations.
In addition to pollination, insects are fundamental to decomposition and nutrient cycling. Species such as dung beetles, termites, and various flies break down organic matter, returning nutrients to the soil and promoting healthy plant growth. This process not only recycles essential elements but also prevents the accumulation of decaying material, contributing to ecosystem cleanliness and balance. By decomposing dead plants and animals, insects help maintain the natural cycle of life, supporting plant regeneration and sustaining the broader environment.

Healing from the Heart -...

Dana Grindal

Life can hurt, but complete healing is possible.
We have all been wounded. The pain can hit deep and settle into our bodies and souls. In reaction to our pain, beliefs and patterns emerge that hinder the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through life. Pain slows us down and drains our mental and emotional energy.
Pain holds us back.
Modern society provides many opportunities to numb, hide or escape symptoms of pain without addressing the root cause. However, until the source of our pain is identified and remedied, it will stay alive in us, manifesting as physical and emotional pain, toxic thoughts, anxiety, depression, and more.
Everyone is unique in his or her response to life’s hurts, but as explained in Healing from the Heart:We can recognize our pain and respond in a way that puts us on the path to healing—and keeps us there.Healing happens in layers; each chapter guides us through these layers simply and concisely.Soul Connection questions provide valuable tools to connect us to our own heart at a deeper level while Spirit Connection exercises offer the opportunity to release the pain in prayer.Practical applications empower us to heal from the heart level (the soul), which not only relieves pain but provides the freedom needed to live the abundant life for which we are designed!
The principles and processes found throughout Dana’s authentic telling of her own journey from pain to wellness have helped hundreds experience the life-changing power of inner healing. Furthermore, Healing from the Heart features a refreshing combination of story, instruction and journaling prompts that lead to the peace and revitalization for which we’ve been searching.
Healing from the Heart is ideal for group study as well as individual discovery.
