A glacier [GLAY-sher] in the Alps slowly slides downward. Scientists watch it. They warn people. “Stay away.” Part of the thick sheet of ice might crack and fall.

It moved quickly this summer. People in the Ferret Valley had to leave their homes at least once. The glacier was creeping downward over 30 inches each day. Scientists feared the glacier would break and fall on the village. God created gravity. It pulls glaciers down. “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the Earth.” (Isaiah 40:28)
