Bible in a Year:
How many are your works, Lord!
“I know where God lives,” our four-year-old grandson told my wife, Cari. “Where is that?” she asked, her curiosity piqued. “He lives in the woods beside your house,” he answered.
When Cari told me about their conversation, she wondered what prompted his thinking. “I know,” I responded. “When we went for a walk in the woods during his last visit, I told him that even though we can’t see God, we can see the things He’s done.” “Do you see the footprints I’m making?” I had asked my grandson as we stepped through a sandy place by a river. “The animals and the trees and the river are like God’s footprints. We know that He’s been here because we can see the things He’s made.”
The writer of Psalm 104 also pointed to the evidence for God in creation, exclaiming “How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures” (v. 24). The Hebrew word for wisdom found here is often used in the Bible to describe skillful craftsmanship. God’s handiwork in nature proclaims His presence and makes us want to praise Him.
Psalm 104 begins and ends with the words: “Praise the Lord” (vv. 1, 35). From a baby’s hand to an eagle’s eye, our Creator’s artistry all around us speaks of His consummate skill. May we take it all in with wonder today—and praise Him for it!
Reflect & Pray
Where do you see God’s handiwork in creation? How might you point someone to it—and to Him—today?
I praise You for all You’ve made, God! Help me to live in wonder at Your wisdom and goodness today.
Hi Everybody!

No quiz required.
NOPE
Whenever possible, you try to pay attention to what's going on in the universe. You are truly interested in all people and galxies, no matter how far away from you they are. You try to learn, travel, and understand. Being a part of the whole galaxy is important to you, and you're always working to be more internationally focused.

specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
It says I am a citizen of the world, but I don’t know about that. I know a lot of foreigners through my work and the Orthodox Church. I have travelled to Mexico and I am reasonably knowledgeable about world history. My part of the world, though, is the United States, and the Midwest in particular. That is where I feel at home, and that is where my citizenship is.
I scored high mainly because I married a nice Canadian girl.
Citizen of the World.
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Are you busy painting? Resting when needed? And I know you are nice and warm in your shop.
It was pouring when I went to bed last night! It’s the middle of winter, for goodness sake!! It’s a sheet of ice here...thankfully I don’t need to go out.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
You Are Not a Citizen of the World
When it comes to what's going on in the world, you stay blissfully unaware.
You are too busy to be concerned with what's happening halfway around the world.
And while it may it may be easy to stay in your comfort zone, you may end up getting left behind.
Everything and everyone is going more global every day... and you need to keep up!
Can't say that's true. I'm not exactly a citizen of the world but I wish I WAS blissfully unaware of what's going on a lot of the time.
Whenever possible, you try to pay attention to what's going on in the world. You are truly interested in all people and countries, no matter how far away from you they are.
You try to learn, travel, and understand. Being a part of the whole world is important to you, and you're always working to be more internationally focused.
Almost impossible to be an Orthodox Christian in the diaspora and NOT be a citizen of the world!
My first place I call home is the USA.
