The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Cheers Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie.

For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings...and it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes...And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep; and it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land." I think that this, too, is an explanation for the abundance of honey in the land. It is another fitting description of the times of Jesus Christ that proves His existence. It is important to remember that historically, the land WAS desolate for a time, and as a result, the product of honey began to increase as did the overabundance of milk that curdled and was used for butter.

No wonder even the Israeli bees are "aggressive and uncooperative" LOL “The Syrian bees native to Israel are aggressive and uncooperative.
