You're not just 1 in a million anymore!

It's Tuesday morning. The news report says that according to government estimates, this morning our USA population hit 300,000,000!

Imagine this: In all of those 300 million people, there may be someone who has similar appearance to you; maybe someone who has similar characteristics to you. But in all of those 300 million people there is not one other person exactly like you! No one else has your fingerprints. No one else has your hair (though someone might have mine -- I didn't get to keep much of it)! You really are a very special person. You're not just 1 in a million. You really are ONE IN 300 MILLION!

The Scripture tells us in Psalm 139, "For You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful..."!

Actually, you are 1 in 6.5 billion (current estimates here http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html) LIVING people in the world...There are even more people counting those in the past that were not like any of us. That number makes it even more amazing that no two people are alike.
