True confession: When I found out that astronaut Rex Walheim would be taking a copy of Our Daily Bread with him into space for the last mission of the shuttle Atlantis, I looked ahead to find out which devotionals I had written that he would be reading. The idea of having my words read in outer space seemed, well, pretty amazing for this small-town kid.
No sooner had I satisfied my curiosity, however, than I had another thought. Why do I consider this such a big deal? My words are heard in heavenly places whenever I pray. What has happened to me that I take for granted the concept that the God who created the universe listens to my words? In Christ, I can approach God with freedom and confidence (Eph. 3:12). Why be more awestruck at having a human read what I have written than having Almighty God hear what I pray?
If that idea isn’t enough to rouse me from complacency, there’s this: The Lord is using the church to make known His wisdom to the “principalities and powers in the heavenly places” (v.10). Imagine. God not only hears our prayers, but He uses us earthlings to teach heavenly beings the plan of redemption He has accomplished through Christ. Now that’s a big deal!
Read: Ephesians 3:8-13

A sprinkle of this...a splash of that...
The Beatles' last concert took place August 29, 1966,
before a crowd of 25,000 people in the 45,000-seat capacity
Candlestick Park (now called 3Com Park).
Although the group recorded together until 1970,
they did not play live in concert after 1966
because of the frenzy and noise of the crowds.
The last song they played — Long Tall Sally.
Astronomers believe that the universe contains
one atom for every 88 gallons of space.
(trying to wrap your mind around this is likely to make you crazy)
Montpelier, Vermont is the only U.S. state capital
without a McDonald's.
English has replaced Russian as the most popular
foreign language in schools in China.
(Isn't it ironic? When English in America is being replaced by Spanish?)
The chiao is an official unit of currency in China.
Also known as jiao,
it is a copper-zinc coin that is one-tenth of a yuan
and equal to 10 fen.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Waiting for my walk buddy.
So, I'll try to make my rounds before she gets here.
Please stick around.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
