TODAY IS...LOG CABIN DAY

The log cabin is a structure that has become the American Folk Dwelling - it's a symbol of both self-reliance and practicality. When people started moving west across the country, they needed homes that could be built fast. The log cabin was the answer since it could be built with materials found on hand. Presidents Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln were both born in log cabins

TODAY'S TRIVIA

Today is Abraham Lincoln's birthday. He was the 16th U.S. president. Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in present-day Larue County, Kentucky. His birthday was declared a holiday in 1892. He was the first American president to be killed in office

1870: The Utah territory granted its women the right to vote

1915: The cornerstone for the Lincoln Memorial was laid in Washington D.C.

1924 - The Eveready Hour became radio’s first sponsored network program. The National Carbon Company took the honor of being the first sponsor of a network show. Today, the battery maker “keeps on going, and going, and going, and going

1972 - Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together knocked American Pie out of the top spot on the music charts. The record stayed at the top for one week, before giving way to Nilsson’s Without You. Green returned to his gospel roots in

1980 and is a minister in Memphis, TN. Green recorded 14 hit songs with six of them making it to the Top 10.

1985 - Johnny Carson surprised his audience by shaving the beard he had been sporting on The Tonight Show. Carson quipped: “I had to do it when a little old lady said that she had confused me for one of the Smith Brothers.” There was silence from the studio audience, until Johnny timed it perfectly by saying, "You know, the cough drop guys." Uproarious laughter

TODAY'S SMILE

It was a nice summer day when 2 flies came upon a picnic lunch. Finding only baloney, they promptly ate their fill. The flies then flew to a nearby well for a drink, then they sat on the pump handle to rest and talk.

After a few minutes, one said he had to leave and flew off, only to drop dead after a few feet. Then the second fly flew off, and he, too, dropped dead.

MORAL: DON'T FLY OFF THE HANDLE WHEN YOU'RE FULL OF BALONEY

TODAY'S WORD

am·a·tive adjective

Inclined toward love; amorous

TODAY'S REFLECTION

 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:2

Nothing worth doing comes easy. It takes hard work. Our spiritual lives take a lot of work too.

From Daily Devotions

TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC

To avoid bad dreams, live simply, be regular in habits, and be cheerful Full Snow Moon Usually the heaviest snows fall in February. Hunting becomes very difficult, and hence to some Native American tribes this was the full Hunger Moon.

36 DAYS UNTIL SPRING

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your

Heart Psalm 37:4

I Love You All !!!

Be Blessed !!!
