Read: Colossians 1:1-12; 4:12
During evangelist Billy Graham’s historic 1949 Los Angeles campaign, the big tent that held over 6,000 people was filled to overflowing every night for 8 weeks. Close by was a smaller tent set aside for counseling and prayer. Cliff Barrows, longtime music director and close friend and associate of Graham, has often said that the real work of the gospel took place in “the little tent,” where people gathered on their knees to pray before and during every evangelistic service. A local Los Angeles woman, Pearl Goode, was the heart of those prayer meetings and many that followed.
In the apostle Paul’s letter to the followers of Christ in Colosse, he assured them that he and his colleagues were praying always for them (Col. 1:3,9). In closing he mentioned Epaphras, a founder of the Colossian church, who is “always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God” (4:12).
Some people are given the high visibility task of preaching the gospel in “the big tent.” But God has extended to us all, just as He did to Epaphras and Pearl Goode, the great privilege of kneeling in “the little tent” and bringing others before the throne of God.

SOUP FOR THE TROOPS
WELCOME TO THE
(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
Hmmm, been wondering...
with regards to first photo...
in order to snap night shots like that...
do they have tiny night goggles for the camera?
I crack me up.

A splash of this...a sprinkle of that...
Kilts are not native to Scotland.
They originated in France.
(guess we'll need to verify this with our Scot brothers/sisters)
A cluster or bunch of bananas is called a hand.
Individual bananas are called fingers.
The paddlefish, a living fossil,
has existed virtually unchanged in the
Mississippi River for 230 million years,
although it now weighs no more than
one-third of its ancient weight.
The only other part of the world
in which the paddlefish
is found is China.
Helen of Troy was queen of Sparta.
An adult female ladybug will eat
about 300 medium-size aphids before it lays eggs.
About three to ten aphids are eaten
for each egg the beetle lays.
More than 5,000 aphids may be eaten
by a single adult in its lifetime.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.
