I went to visit TheTruthLaidBear Homeschool page, and saw my blog listed! I'd asked Dana to check my blog for me to see if it's appropriate for the page. She prefers the blogs to be about homeschooling, for the most part. It's a wonderful "front page" blog round-up, welcome to all interested.

Of course, I take exception with being listed as "a insignificant microbe" in the ecosystem. The grammar is wrong, and you know, that's hard enough for a homeschool mother to live with!

Secondly, I would prefer to be called a significant microbe, not for my ego, which matters not, but because it's proper.

There is no such thing as an insignificant microbe. It defies God's creation to think it so.

Let's imagine a day in the world without microbes:

Nothing dead would go away (or decompose). No recycling of energy into other forms of energy, as the First Law of Thermodynamics states: Energy cannot be created or destroyed; only changed from one form into another.

All the oceans would die without phytoplankton.

All the plants would die without being able to fix Nitrogen or change it into other forms.

We would all starve, not only from all the above, but also because we'd be unable to digest our food.

So you'd have all the plants, people, oceans, and soon animals dieing, and then the bodies lying around in great heaps, without microbes.

And they call us insignificant. Humph! Microbes, unite! After all, a microbe took down Alexander the Great, right?

Have a great day everyone!
