The beautiful month of June is
once more upon us. Summer is
just around the corner and every-
one has plans made up for the
weekends and vacations to come
while the warm gentle weather is
with us. But does God figure into
your plans?
He is always with us and we
should always try to be mindful
of that fact. Although we may be
busy planning, doing, and having
fun In the summer ahead, we
must still communicate with God,
because where ever we are, no
matter what we are doing, God
has plans for our lives — a direc-
tion and purpose. It is up to us to
seek His will and then try to
carry it out to the best of our
abilities.
For God's love covers this
planet from the North Pole to
tropical rain forests, and every AJ
other place in between. God ex- 1
pects us to reflect ’ His love
through us to our brothers around
the world. No matter where you
will be this summer, even if only
in your backyard, there are many
nearby who need your love and
your concern. Why not seek them
out?

Jupiter's atmosphere contains
ammonia, methane, hydrogen, and
probably water, the sam* ingredi
ents that may have produced life
on earth about four billion year*

large regions below the frigid

allow the planet to produce living
