re26ag27hopandaskip20260727 research required since 20260713 RE attached image and also related to skipping rocks because i noticed a Canadian maritime populace held a stone skipping contest on the weekend and perhaps there is related human interest or human history content associated with that theme

For OMMW Research Request – rre26ag27hopandaskip20260727, the "hop and a skip" / stone skipping theme has quite a bit of potential. Since your research window begins 2026-07-13, I'd lean toward finding stories that illustrate perseverance, skill, community, and seeing value in ordinary things (like a simple stone).

Here's a first-pass research grid.

Area

Research

Possible other

Canada - i

Canada's Rock Skipping Championship was held July 26 in Blue Rocks, Nova Scotia. Winners qualify for the World Stone Skimming Championship in Scotland. The charity event supports ProKids in Lunenburg County.

Skill grows through practice; ordinary stones become extraordinary in capable hands.

Canada - ii

Research Canada's history of stone skipping. Indigenous peoples and early settlers almost certainly skipped stones recreationally, although documented competitions are much newer.

"Simple joys don't require expensive technology."

US - i

Mackinac Island, Michigan hosts one of North America's best-known annual stone-skipping championships (historical background worth mentioning even if not this week).

Friendly competition; tourism built around simple recreation.

US - ii

Wisconsin's Rock Skipping Hall of Fame and longtime promoter Russell "Rock Bottom" Byars popularized competitive stone skipping in North America.

How hobbies preserve community traditions.

Latin

Look for traditional children's shoreline games around lakes and rivers in Mexico, Chile, or Argentina that include skipping stones.

Theme of children finding entertainment from nature rather than electronics.

Antarctic

Penguins are sometimes observed tossing or carrying stones for nesting. While not "skipping" stones, rocks are surprisingly valuable in Antarctica's breeding colonies.

Ordinary rocks can become treasures depending on perspective.

African

Communities around Lake Victoria and other shorelines often use stone-skimming games informally among children. Could also look for shoreline conservation stories.

Water stewardship.

European

World Stone Skimming Championship, Easdale Island, Scotland, scheduled for September 5, 2026. Canada's winners advance there. The event has become a family festival and fundraiser.

Scotland's long tradition of turning simple outdoor activities into community celebrations.

Asian

Japan has a long cultural appreciation for smooth river stones ("suiseki"), and stone skipping is a common pastime on calm rivers and lakes.

Beauty in ordinary objects.

Oceania

New Zealand's Aotearoa Stone Skimming Championship continues to grow, adding family entertainment and even a Trans-Tasman competition.

Community festivals built around simple outdoor fun.

Some possible Biblical themes

Stone skipping lends itself surprisingly well to several scriptural ideas:

Ecclesiastes 3:1 – "There is a time for every purpose..."
Proverbs 25:11 – A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold... (small things can have great impact.)
Zechariah 4:10 – "Do not despise these small beginnings."
Matthew 13 – Seeds scattered, much like stones skipped, each producing a different outcome.
Psalm 18:31-36 – God makes our feet sure-footed.
James 1:6 – The image of waves can provide an interesting contrast.

Human-interest angles

Some ideas beyond simply covering the contest:

Why people of every age instinctively enjoy skipping stones.
The surprising physics behind the perfect skip.
How a simple pastime builds friendships across generations.
Why today's digital world still craves unplugged recreation.
The "ripple effect" metaphor—one throw creates many circles, just as one kind act influences many people.

Potential OMMW title ideas

Hop and a Skip
Ripple Effect
Skip to the Good Part
Making Waves
One Stone at a Time
The Perfect Skip
Flat Stones, Deep Truths
Skipping Through Life

I also think there's a nice connection between skipping stones and Jesus' teaching about the ripple effect of faith—small actions that travel much farther than expected. Visually, a stone touching the water repeatedly before finally sinking could make for a memorable illustration of how encouragement, kindness, or God's Word can continue influencing others long after the initial "throw."

indigenous examples of stone throwing related to shepherding or hunting?

Yes. There are quite a few well-documented examples, although it's important to distinguish between general Indigenous use of thrown stones (well documented) and stone skipping across water (mostly recreational and much less documented).

Here are some good leads:

1. Inuit (Arctic Canada)

The Inuit traditionally became extremely accurate stone throwers because suitable wood for clubs or bows was often scarce.

Uses included:

Hunting birds resting on water.
Hunting small mammals.
Driving animals toward other hunters.
Boys learning hand-eye coordination before graduating to spears and harpoons.

Children commonly practiced throwing stones from a young age.

2. Plains First Nations

Many Plains peoples used stones before obtaining horses and firearms.

Examples include:

Throwing stones at prairie dogs.
Finishing wounded game.
Games that developed throwing accuracy.

There are also accounts of youths competing to hit distant targets with fist-sized rocks.

3. Inuit Bird Hunting

One fascinating technique involved throwing flat stones low across the surface of the water toward ducks or geese.

The goal was not to skip the stone for sport but to surprise or strike birds sitting on the water.

Your observation about stone skipping actually connects nicely here because a low, flat throw resembles a skipping stone.

4. Australian Aboriginal Peoples

Some Aboriginal groups became famous for extraordinary throwing accuracy.

Besides boomerangs they used:

hand-thrown stones
throwing clubs
throwing sticks

These were used for:

kangaroo
wallaby
birds

Young boys practiced constantly.

5. Native Californian Peoples

Ethnographers describe children playing games involving:

throwing stones through hoops
striking distant objects
accuracy competitions

These games doubled as hunting practice.

Shepherding

This is where the evidence becomes thinner.

Shepherding with slings is much more characteristic of:

ancient Israel
Bedouin cultures
Mediterranean shepherds

rather than Indigenous North America.

However, many Indigenous peoples used stones to:

scare predators
redirect animals
protect camps

without actually being shepherds.

David and Goliath Connection

If your OMMW episode is heading toward a Biblical illustration, there is a nice bridge:

Across many cultures, young people learned to throw stones accurately—not because stones were toys, but because accurate throwing meant food, protection, and survival.

That makes David's story feel much more realistic.

David wasn't simply lucky.

He had years of practice protecting sheep from predators.

Historical Stone Throwing Competitions

1. Manitoba Museum – Natural History Collections

The Manitoba Museum recently published a behind-the-scenes article about caring for and organizing its enormous natural history collections. While not specifically about amateur rock collectors, it highlights the value of preserving geological specimens and telling the stories behind them.

Possible OMMW angle:

Some people collect rocks. Museums collect stories that rocks can tell.

2. Manitoba rock identification interest

There have been several recent online posts from Manitobans asking for help identifying unusual rocks they found:

A rock discovered near Souris, Manitoba that people wondered might contain a fossil or concretion.
An unusual polished specimen found in an Eastern Manitoba gravel quarry while fossil hunting.

These aren't news stories, but they show ongoing public interest in geology and fossil collecting.

3. Possible local human-interest follow-up

If you're looking for a Manitoba story, it may actually be stronger to contact one of these organizations directly:

Manitoba Geological Survey
Manitoba Museum
Lapidary Club of Manitoba / Winnipeg-area rock and gem clubs
University of Manitoba Department of Geological Sciences

A simple question like:

"Has anyone recently found an unusual Manitoba mineral, fossil, or meteorite?"

could uncover a very fresh local story.

One idea I actually like better

Since your theme is "Hop and a Skip," you could connect:

Canada's Rock Skipping Championship (Nova Scotia)
People who collect interesting stones in Manitoba
David selecting five smooth stones (1 Samuel 17)

The progression almost writes itself:

First, someone notices an ordinary stone.

Then someone skips it across the water.

Then David chooses one smooth stone—and God uses it in an extraordinary way.

That creates a nice theme around seeing potential in ordinary things, which fits both the human-interest angle and the biblical application without forcing a direct connection.

i'm interested in a canadian rock collector who will on occasion journey to one site to view an object and then later on journey to another site to view an object

That type of person definitely exists in Canada, and it may actually make for a stronger OMMW illustration than someone who simply "collects rocks."

Here are several real Canadian examples:

1. Ann Sabina (Geological Survey of Canada) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This may be the closest match to what you're describing.

Ann Sabina spent decades travelling across Canada from locality to locality documenting places where people could find interesting minerals. She personally visited hundreds of collecting sites and wrote the famous "Rocks and Minerals for the Collector" guidebook series that inspired generations of Canadian rockhounds.

You could describe her as someone who:

travels to one outcrop to see one mineral,
then hundreds of kilometres to another location to see another,
all because each rock tells a different story.

2. Kim Tait (University of Manitoba graduate / Royal Ontario Museum) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kim Tait has often described asking her father to pull over the car whenever she saw an interesting rock exposure. Today she oversees one of Canada's largest mineral collections at the ROM and continues to travel to examine important specimens.

This gives you a wonderful human-interest line:

"Some people travel to see famous buildings. Kim Tait has spent much of her life travelling to see extraordinary rocks."

3. Robert Carr (Yellowknife) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Robert Carr became famous in Canadian rockhounding circles for planning family vacations around mineral localities listed in Ann Sabina's guidebooks.

He and his family would literally fly to remote northern locations, fish, hike—and collect one particular mineral before moving on to the next destination.

That sounds remarkably close to your description.

4. Bancroft, Ontario

Many Canadian rock collectors spend several days around Bancroft (often called Canada's "Mineral Capital"), visiting one abandoned quarry after another in search of completely different minerals. Modern guided trips still follow this model, with participants travelling from site to site throughout the day.

An OMMW connection

I actually wonder whether you don't even need a "collector."

You could say something like:

"Some Canadians travel hundreds—or even thousands—of kilometres just to see one particular rock formation or mineral deposit. Then they'll pack up and head to another site to see a completely different one. To most of us they're just rocks. To a geologist, every stone tells another chapter of Earth's story."

That naturally sets up a biblical transition:

"David didn't choose just any stone. He selected five smooth stones. He knew that not every rock is the same."

"Peter tells believers to come to Christ as a living Stone (1 Peter 2:4). Sometimes the things the world overlooks are exactly what God chooses to use."

Of the examples above, Ann Sabina is probably the strongest because she represents the classic Canadian who journeyed from one geological site to another, documenting and appreciating each unique location rather than simply accumulating rocks.

is ann sabina still living - can you find a person who is still alive who has remarked on the influence of ann sabina on their own life

Ann Sabina is not still living. She died on September 29, 2015, at the age of 85 after a career spanning more than six decades with the Geological Survey of Canada.

I did find a living Canadian whose own story explicitly credits Ann Sabina's work.

Robert Carr (Yellowknife, Northwest Territories) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Robert Carr is a longtime Canadian rockhound who was profiled in Canadian Rockhound magazine.

The article says that:

During the late 1970s, Bob and his wife Mary started visiting the mineral sites listed by Ann Sabina of the Geological Survey of Canada. Raising a young family didn't deter them. Their fly-in trips combined fishing, rockhounding and backpacking their papoose.

While Carr isn't quoted saying "Ann Sabina changed my life," the article directly attributes his family's decades of collecting adventures to following the localities she documented. That's a concrete, documented example of her influence.

Even broader evidence of her influence

The Geological Survey of Canada states that Sabina's guidebooks:

were based on places she personally investigated,
eventually covered much of road-accessible Canada,
and inspired generations of Canadians to go rock, mineral, and fossil hunting.

The Women Geoscientists of Canada profile similarly says her roadside geology guides inspired the public to go mineral and rock hunting across Canada.

Kim Tait (Royal Ontario Museum)

Kim Tait is very much alive and one of Canada's best-known mineralogists. She has spoken publicly about stopping the family car whenever she spotted an interesting rock outcrop as a child, but I could not find a reliable source where she specifically says Ann Sabina influenced her personally. So I wouldn't make that claim.

For your OMMW script

Robert Carr gives you a nice chain:

Ann Sabina spent years travelling across Canada documenting mineral localities. Later, rockhound Robert Carr and his family began travelling to those very places, turning her guidebooks into family adventures that lasted for decades.

That fits your "journey from one place to another to see something worthwhile" theme quite naturally. It also mirrors the spiritual idea of following the path laid out by someone who has gone before.

any human interest stories about rockhounds recently anywhere in the world

I looked specifically for recent (roughly since July 13, 2026) human-interest stories. There weren't many traditional news articles about individual rockhounds, but I did find several stories that could translate well into an OMMW segment.

1. The retiree phenomenon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One feature published on July 13 explores why so many people are taking up rockhounding after retirement. It describes people trading golf courses for creek beds, discovering that searching for rocks combines exercise, curiosity, and community.

OMMW angle:

"Some people spend retirement collecting possessions. Others spend it discovering God's amazing creation one stone at a time."

2. A cross-country rockhounding adventure ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A young enthusiast recently posted plans to drive across the United States livestreaming a rockhounding journey while inviting fellow collectors to join portions of the trip. Although it's a Reddit story rather than mainstream news, it has attracted considerable interest because of its adventurous spirit.

Possible angle:
Travel isn't always about arriving somewhere—sometimes it's about discovering what's beneath your feet.

3. Canada's "Mineral Capital" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The annual Bancroft Rockhound Gemboree begins this week in Ontario. Thousands of collectors travel from site to site to see minerals, attend field trips, and learn from geologists. It's Canada's largest gem and mineral show and has been running for more than sixty years.

This fits your earlier interest remarkably well because attendees literally travel from one locality to another to appreciate different rocks and minerals.

4. Geologist Chris Fouts leading field trips ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Chris Fouts continues leading convoy-style field trips where participants drive from one mineral locality to another throughout the Bancroft region. The day begins with a presentation about what minerals can be found, followed by visits to several collecting sites.

I actually like this one a lot for OMMW.

It illustrates:

"One knowledgeable guide can help hundreds of people discover treasures they would never have found on their own."

That naturally parallels a teacher, mentor, or disciple-maker.

5. "The hardest part isn't finding rocks…" ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A discussion posted yesterday asked:

"The hardest part of rockhounding isn't finding rocks."

The collector explained that, over time, the challenge became deciding which rocks to leave behind, because experience had taught them to value quality over quantity. Other collectors chimed in with similar reflections.

That could become a surprisingly effective spiritual illustration:

As we mature, wisdom isn't just learning what to pursue—it is also learning what to leave behind.

The one I'd probably build around

If this were an OMMW episode, I'd combine three threads:

Canada's Rock Skipping Championship (Nova Scotia).
Canada's largest Rockhound Gemboree beginning this week in Bancroft, Ontario.
Chris Fouts guiding people from one mineral site to another.

That creates a nice progression:

Some people see only rocks.

Others see treasures.

The difference is often having someone who knows where to look.

That's a strong metaphor for teaching, discipleship, and lifelong learning without feeling forced. It also matches your earlier interest in someone who journeys from one place to another to appreciate different stones.

I couldn't find any recent stories specifically about mineralogists or professional geologists having close calls with animals. Most recent incidents involve hikers, rockhounds, photographers, or field researchers rather than mineralogists themselves.

That said, here are a few that could fit your theme:

1. Alberta grizzly encounters (best current Canadian angle) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Several stories this month involve people working or recreating in rocky mountain terrain where geologists and rock collectors also spend time.

One of the most dramatic involved Jessie Oakes in Kananaskis Country. While walking with her dog, she had repeated close encounters with a grizzly bear that circled and approached within about a metre. She eventually escaped after distracting the bear and reaching shelter.

Although she wasn't a rockhound, the terrain is exactly the type frequented by geologists and mineral collectors.

2. Jasper hikers did almost everything right ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Two hikers in Jasper National Park encountered a sow grizzly with cubs. One suffered minor bite wounds, but Parks Canada emphasized that their preparation—carrying accessible bear spray, discussing what to do beforehand, and responding appropriately—likely prevented a much worse outcome.

That has a nice teaching point:

Preparation often matters long before the emergency arrives.

3. Banff grizzly follows hikers ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Video captured a grizzly following hikers and their off-leash dog for an extended distance on a Banff trail. The incident resulted in charges related to the off-leash dog and became a reminder about responsible travel in wildlife country.

If you're open to older stories...

There are actually many memorable accounts of geologists and mineral collectors encountering wildlife:

geologists chased by polar bears in the Arctic
diamond exploration crews dealing with wolves
Australian geologists encountering venomous snakes while mapping
African field geologists surprised by elephants or buffalo
North American rockhounds discovering bears occupying abandoned mine entrances

Those are often richer human-interest stories than the recent news cycle.

One story you might enjoy researching

A number of Canadian geologists have remarked that bears are one of the hazards they prepare for before helicopters, rough terrain, or bad weather. During northern field seasons, crews commonly receive wildlife training and carry bear deterrents because they're often examining remote rock outcrops where humans are uncommon but bears are not.

For an OMMW episode, that creates an interesting metaphor:

A geologist may spend hours studying what's beneath their feet—but wisdom also requires looking up and around, because the greatest danger may not be the rocks at all.

There are actually many memorable accounts of geologists and mineral collectors encountering wildlife: - geologists chased by polar bears in the Arctic - diamond exploration crews dealing with wolves - Australian geologists encountering venomous snakes while mapping - African field geologists surprised by elephants or buffalo - North American rockhounds discovering bears occupying abandoned mine entrances

when did these happen?

Those examples were meant as illustrative categories, not references to one specific incident each. Here are the best-known documented examples and when they occurred:

1. Geologists chased by polar bears (Canadian Arctic)

Date: July 1975 (story republished in 2025)

This is a classic account by Canadian geologist John Legault, who was conducting a geological survey on the Boothia Peninsula in the Northwest Territories when a polar bear attacked his research camp. The bear mauled the camp dog, attacked Legault, and then attacked his colleague before the men managed to survive. The story first appeared in Outdoor Life in April 1976 and was republished in July 2025.

2. Diamond exploration crews encountering wolves

Date: Various, especially the 1990s–2010s

I couldn't identify one famous, single incident. Rather, exploration companies working in Canada's Northwest Territories and Nunavut have long reported wolves around remote drill camps. Most encounters ended peacefully, and I couldn't verify a particular dramatic story that would be suitable for OMMW without further targeted research.

3. Australian geologists and venomous snakes

Date: Ongoing; many published accounts from the 1980s onward

Again, this wasn't referring to one famous incident. Australian geological fieldwork manuals routinely discuss encounters with:

inland taipans
brown snakes
tiger snakes
death adders

because mapping often occurs in remote bushland.

4. African geologists surprised by elephants or buffalo

Date: Numerous incidents over the last several decades

This was also a general category. Mining and exploration companies in Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania, Namibia, and Zimbabwe commonly include elephant safety training because field crews occasionally encounter elephants while traversing bush. I don't have one well-documented, recent human-interest story to recommend.

5. North American rockhounds finding bears in mine adits

Date: Various

This is common advice in rockhounding literature rather than one famous news event. Rockhounding clubs frequently warn members that:

abandoned mine entrances,
caves,
and adits

can become seasonal dens for black bears or grizzlies. It's a recurring safety issue rather than a single headline-making event.

If you're looking for a compelling OMMW story...

The John Legault account stands out because:

he was actually on a geological survey,
it occurred in Canada,
it's well documented,
and it has a dramatic survival narrative.

If you'd like, I can also search specifically for living geologists or rockhounds who have had memorable encounters with bears, wolves, moose, snakes, or mountain lions in the last 10–15 years, which may yield more contemporary human-interest stories.

yes

I found a few stories that are much closer to what you're looking for—people in geology-related field work who had memorable wildlife encounters.

1. Zol Kenney – Field geologist vs. grizzly (Canada) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is probably the best fit.

Who: Zol Kenney, a field geologist.

Where: Upper Kananaskis Lake Trail, Alberta.

When: July 2025.

While hiking, Kenney had two encounters with the same juvenile grizzly bear. During one encounter he backed away with bear spray ready while speaking calmly to the bear. Eventually he stopped retreating, stood his ground, and the bear turned away. The encounter was caught on video and widely shared.

OMMW angle:

A field geologist spends his career studying rocks—but on this day, the biggest lesson came from a living creature.

2. Ember Archaeology – Cougar encounter (Alberta) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Although this involves an archaeologist rather than a geologist, it's an excellent field-work story.

Who: Fallon Hardie, Junior Field Director.

Where: Alberta.

Encounter: Cougar.

The original encounter occurred in 2024, and in March 2026 Ember Archaeology published a detailed follow-up explaining what happened, what was learned, and why wildlife training matters.

Since archaeologists and geologists often work in similar remote terrain, it's highly relevant.

3. Polar bear research in northern Manitoba ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Who: University of Saskatchewan researcher Ryan Clark.

Rather than a frightening close call, Clark's research involves spending time in polar bear country near Churchill, Manitoba. The story describes how researchers, residents, and tourists all adapt to longer periods when bears remain on land because of changing sea ice.

Interesting observation

I also found an older Reddit discussion where professional North American geologists were asked how often they encounter bears.

Several geologists answered that:

one narrowly missed a polar bear while working in the Arctic (they only spotted it after boarding the helicopter),
another found a brown bear cub in camp,
others routinely encounter black bears, mountain lion tracks, or wolf sign during fieldwork.

While anecdotal, it reinforces that wildlife encounters are considered a normal occupational hazard for many field geologists.

My recommendation

For an OMMW episode, I'd rank them:

Zol Kenney (field geologist + grizzly + Canada + video) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fallon Hardie (archaeologist + cougar + lessons learned) ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Ryan Clark (polar bear researcher in Manitoba) ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

The Zol Kenney story is especially appealing because it involves someone whose profession is literally to examine rocks in the field, yet the day's most important discovery wasn't geological—it was learning how to respond calmly and wisely when confronted by unexpected danger. That has obvious potential as a bridge to a biblical application about vigilance, courage, and wisdom.

need youtube thumbnail - please review content of new script and thematic style of previous thumbnails and provide same: 1001host - ohhDublmw 26ag27 - their own way to rock - but first Revelation 2:17… 1002cohost - Let the one who has ears hear and do what the Spirit is saying to the sacred families. I will give the mysterious bread to the ones who win the victory. I will also give them a new name carved into a white stone. A name known only to the one who receives it. 1003host - Tristan Williams skipped a rock 55 meters in Nova Scotia yesterday and as the contest winner he is now eligible to go to the world championships in Scotland. The event has been held recently to raise money for children wanting to participate in organized sports. There’s no indication whether Tristan will attend the event in Scotland, however he did receive a prize ‘Skipper’ hat for his efforts. 1004cohost - Sometimes participation is appealing for its own sake and then, seemingly out of nowhere, opportunities to help others and be fulfilled in the process appear. That seems to be the case for Ann Phyllis Sabina Stenson who graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1952 and from there made a name for herself as a geologist with an eye for rocks and knack for writing books about them including a road-side field guide from Sudbury to Winnipeg and then 3 more volumes covering Rock and Mineral Collecting in Canada. Ann died in 2015 but her work is still appreciated by rockhounds not to mention professionals in the field. 1005host - Rock collectors learn that choosing what to leave behind matters. Proverbs says that's true spiritually too. 1006cohost - Proverbs 27 verse 3 reads: A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, but the resentment caused by a fool is even heavier. 1007host - One other young Canadian, who is also a geologist, let’s just call her Sasha, talks about how she loves studying rocks so much that even being in the remote places they are found does not bother her. On the other hand, some unwelcome text messages from a male co-worker really creeped her out and had to be dealt with by human resources staff at her company. 1008cohost - Psalm 135 verse 14 reads: For the Lord will give justice to his people and have compassion on his servants. 1009host - A Texas rockhound whose handle is painandcupcakes wants to drive across the US, find awesome rocks, and livestream the adventure but not to do it solo and is therefore willing to travel with strangers from the internet to make it possible. 1010cohost - And a field geologist in Alberta, Zol Kenney had his meeting with an approaching juvenile grizzly captured twice on the same trail. Even as he paced backwards holding a can of bear spray, Zol spoke calmly and was more than relieved to see the bear turn away twice. I shudder to think what could have happened and I feel it’s right and good to lift up prayers for people like for Zol and painandcupcakes and others whose desire puts them on a path to be out and about. A sense of adventure and calling can be rewarding and even ennobling but the road to experience never ends well if caution is thrown to the wind without regard for wisdom from others who have been there and back not to mention supremely obvious signposts from God that we often work hard to overlook. 1011host - God, make this day completely divine, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, North-South-East-West & God, thank you for people like Ann Sabina Stenson who work energetically to benefit others with their careers and fulfillments. And please help Tristan Williams as he considers scheduling and other family matters that might prevent him from attending the world championships and for the organization supporting underprivileged kids to keep the main thing the main thing as they follow up in and around Blue Rocks and Lunenburg County. And please help professional people like Sasha and Zol to be safe from every sort of field related danger and for adventurous people like painandcupcakes to have safe and healthy opportunities to explore things of interest in ways that turn out well for all concerned and please may your benefits moreover flow as we address and confess any and every sin that’s earned guilt and distance and hurt and darkness. Whosoever will may come to God, who is listening now. He’s ready to run towards the one needing embrace and forgiveness and life eternal. Without force, he’s asking admission. Before death, please, invite Jesus, the only way, truth and life into your whole self without delay, as your sole and final and certain hope for rescue now, your loving Saviour and fun to follow Lord and friend forever, Amen. Please contact our 220 Pritchard Winnipeg studio, but before we go, Peace-out, hallelujah, maranatha, shalom.

Edit

I've created a thumbnail that follows the same overall visual language as your recent OmmwStudio thumbnails: bold central headline, multiple story panels, scripture callouts, yellow/white typography, strong contrast, YouTube branding, and a collage of the featured people and themes.

One small question: would you like the main title to stay “THEIR OWN WAY TO ROCK”, or should it instead emphasize “HOP AND A SKIP” to match the episode title more closely?

keep it all the same but just change two things: remove 5:19 timestamp AND for painandcupcakes make the byline to be as follows: a rockhound driven to explore who doesn't want to go it alone - Jesus is the rock

Edit

The updated thumbnail keeps the same bold OmmwStudio collage style, removes the runtime badge, and changes the painandcupcakes panel to read: “A ROCKHOUND DRIVEN TO EXPLORE WHO DOESN'T WANT TO GO IT ALONE — JESUS IS THE ROCK.”
