So there was the fisherman, standing on the edge of the lake, cleaning up from the night before, getting ready for the night ahead. And right in the middle of Simon’s everyday work, Jesus spoke to him. Jesus didn’t wait for Simon to be alone in the middle...

Prior to 1958, tests were conducted at Bikini Atoll, now a part of the Marshall Islands, but in 1962 they were moved to Kiritimati, also known...
