Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Prayers going up
An 85-year-old woman, all alone in a convent, got trapped inside an elevator for 4 nights and 3 days. Fortunately, she had a jar of water, some celery sticks, and a few cough drops. After she tried unsuccessfully to open the elevator doors and get a cell phone signal, she decided to turn to God in prayer. “It was either panic or pray,” she later told CNN. In her distress, she relied on God and waited till she was rescued.
Asa was also faced with the options of panic or pray (2 Chron. 14). He was attacked by an Ethiopian army of a million men. But as he faced this huge fighting force, instead of relying on military strategy or cowering in dread, he turned to the Lord in urgent prayer. In a powerful and humble prayer, Asa confessed his total dependence on Him, asked for help, and appealed to the Lord to protect His own name: “Help us, O Lord our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude” (v.11). The Lord responded to Asa’s prayer, and he won the victory over the Ethiopian army.
When we are faced with tight spots, meager resources, a vast army of problems, or seemingly dead-end solutions, let’s not panic but instead turn to God who fights for His people and gives them victory.
Read: 2 Chronicles 14:1-11

Making Z Zoup
A sprinkle of this...a splash of that...
A cat's jaw can't move sideways.
A type of lizard, the chuckwalla,
escapes pursuers by crawling into a crack in a rock
and inflating its body with air
so that it is wedged tightly into the crack
and can't be pulled out.
There are mice that nest in trees.
These creatures may spend their whole life
without ever touching the ground.
Writer L. Frank Baum chose "Oz"
as the name of the fantasyland in his The Wizard of Oz
stories while making up the stories
for his children and their friends.
He spotted a file cabinet marked O-Z,
and impulsively named the magical land
"Oz."
About 27 tons of dust rains down
on the earth each day from space,
making a total of almost 10,000 tons each year.
I've got to go for my morning walk.
But, I'll check pings on my return.
Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
And she has enough to worry about.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
