This week's Song

In Christ Alone
Bryan Littrell

In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I've been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone I overcome
Oh I could stop and count successes
Like diamonds in my hands
But those trophies could not equal
To the grace by which I stand

Chorus:
In Christ alone I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory let it be said of me
My source of strength, my source of hope is Christ alone

In Christ alone will I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed
And only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need
And now I seek no greater honor
Than just to know Him more
And to count my gains
But losses to the glory of my Lord

This week's Song

An Orange Octopus

(tune of "If you're happy and you know it")

Oh, I wish I was an orange octopus.
Oh, I wish I was an orange octopus.
Oh I'd wave my lovely legs,
And I'd splash in all the waves.
Oh, I wish I was an orange octopus. 

This week at the Zoo

Octopus



- Octopuses are sea animals famous for their rounded bodies, bulging eyes, and eight long arms.
- Crabs, shrimps, and lobsters are among their favorite foods.
- Seals, whales, and large fish prey on octopuses.
- If threatened, octopuses shoot an inky fluid that darkens the water, confusing the aggressor.
- They can change their color and texture of the skin to blend with environment and become invisible. 
- They have 3 hearts and their blood is blue in color.
- Octopuses are invertebrates, which mean that they are boneless.
