"We are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life."— Ephesians 2:10 (NRSV). "I was visiting a friend in the hospital when a nurse came to say it was time for lunch. When I asked my friend about the hospital food, she replied, "When people complain about the food, I tell them, 'God makes it all perfect and delicious; it's humans who ruin it.' Here is a devotional ******* to reflect that it's not just food that we ruin. Every day, children are born into this world. Each begins as a little baby with promise and an open future. Knowing this and reading Ephesians 2:10, I think about those who are homeless or incar- cerated. I wonder, Aren't those who were neglected or mistreated as children, those who end up in deten- tion centers, prisons or homeless shelters, also made in God's image and created for life in Christ Jesus? All of us come into the world with promise, imprinted with God's desire that we live fully. "Her words caused me that can ruin our lives or how much abuse others inflict on us, that child still lives somewhere deep inside each of us. God can re-create any of us from within, restoring us and giving us new life. And that restoration can begin on any day we offer ourselves to God.

By 1900, uncon- trolled hunting and habitat loss had nearly wiped out wild turkeys in Indiana. This restoration project was fund- ed both by license fees and by federal funds from the Wildlife and Sport Fish Res- toration (WSFR) programs. Funding for WSFR comes from an excise tax charged to manufacturers of fish- ing equipment, bows and arrows, ammunition, recre- ational guns, and motor boat fuel.
