Look Around

Acts 17:15, 22 - 18:1
Psalm 148:1-2, 11-12, 13, 14
John 16:12-15

The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. - Acts 17:24

Did you know?

The average human body contains enough iron to make a three-inch nail, sulfur to kill all fleas on an average dog, carbon to make 900 pencils, potassium to fire a toy cannon, fat to make seven bars of soap, phosphorous to make 2,200 match heads and water to fill a ten-gallon tank.

Snails produce a colorless, sticky discharge that forms a protective carpet under them as the travel along. The discharge is so effective that they can crawl along the edge of a razor without cutting themselves.

Ginger has been clinically demonstrated to work twice as well as Dramamine for fighting motion sickness, with no side effects.

There are more stars in space than there are are specks of sand on the Earth.

What a wonderful world we line in! I’ve voraciously read facts and trivia about science since I was a kid and I’m still learning new things every day. Although I was taught in school about Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, I think it’s foolish to believe that all things are just a result of an accident of nature, humans included. For me, such beauty and order can only be the result of a generous Creator who loves us so much that He provides the best for us! Cecille L.

Reflection: Look around you and see all of God’s wondrous creations.

I am surrounded by the beauty of Your creations. Thank You, Lord.

St. Adam, hermit and abbot, pray for us.
