Mr. G. gets to put his house on the Moon. The yard will be Moon dust. Only small Moon rocks could fit inside.
The house is art. It is the size of a smart phone.
Pray: Thank God for art. Thank Him for the art He makes. He made the Moon!

Mikael Genberg is an artist. He lives in Sweden. He had a dream. He wanted to put his art on the Moon. He made a small house out of aluminum. He used red paint made for space. The house is almost five inches long. It could fit in both your hands. It has already traveled. It has been underwater. It went to the Great Wall of China. Sweden’s first astronaut took it to the International Space Station. Now it heads to the Moon!
“If I ascend to heaven, you are there!” (Psalm 139:8)
