Once upon a time, a little lightning bug was stuck inside a mason jar, just blinking away. He was completely focused on being the brightest and getting everyone to notice him...until now. The jar was opened, and the little bug is flying away. Every bug seems to be flying toward a bright light near a porch. The light is making a buzz. Instead, our little friend is going big: he's flying for the moon.

Country of Day: Bulgaria
Lots of new things on this blog! Let's look at the makeover:
-The Archive has moved to the bottom of the page, so it's now easier to read.
-Just above the Archive, there's now a Music gadget. I put a few songs on there for now; more will come later.
-My contact info is now clearly presented at the top, including the new email for this blog: the freedbug@aol.com. Please talk to me!
-Biblegateway.com has a gadget for looking up Scripture, which is now also on my sidebar. It should be pretty useful.
One more new thing: in addition to the "Thoughts from the Retro Bible", each day we will also feature a "Country of the Day." Every day, I will post a country and what its religious prayer needs are. I have been working through a list of countries for a while now, praying for them and their needs, and I'd like anyone who reads to join in with me. Today is Bulgaria.
Bulgaria is about 84% Christian (83% Bulgarian Orthodox). Another 12% is Muslim, likely the effect of around 10% of the Bulgarian population being Turkish. The final 4% are other religions.
Let's pray for the Bulgarian Christians to remain strong, as they have a strong Islamic presence to combat. 12% doesn't sound like a lot, but that's over 1 out of every 10 people. My prayer is that the 84% are able to stay strong and true to the Gospel, and that the eyes of the other 16% be opened to the Truth.
