Although written in the 1950s during the Cold War‚ in “The Day of the Triffids” John Wyndham raises relevant questions regarding the manipulation of nature and proliferation of space armaments. He weds the two concerns and creates an entertaining‚ thought-provoking story based on a credible “what if”. What if a new – perhaps man-made – form of life thrust itself forward at the same time as a space catastrophe – also perhaps man-made – occurred? The new form of life is a carnivorous and mobile plant

My bible passage was 2 Corinthians‚ verses 11.1 through 15. Before doing more in depth research on this passage‚ I thought the clear message was that Paul was okay with boasting to the apostles‚ because he had done many things to prove himself to the apostles.
