NOT JUST BOBBING UP AND DOWN

 I gotta make an addition to yesterday's post.

Some people speak of the way we were made in special ways for God to protect us...well, maybe. But that could be because that's the only way to protect others. Maybe we can't see that helpless little fishy who was being protected actually had to be protected because she was the one guarding her little ones!

Some people think a jellyfish just floats in the water, pretty much a useless, brainless bag of goo with no sense of purpose or direction. All it does is sting people every once in a while. But it's been documented--I found this online--a species of jellyfish has tentacles so toxic predator fish will not near it, yet baby fish are not affected so swim among them until they are large enough to fend for themselves and flee their larger opponents.

Were the toxic tentacles given the jellyfish for its protection? Maybe. But because of them, the baby fish found a safe childcare center too.  I guess nothing is not worth protecting, even something that looks as useless as a jellyfish.
