Fossils are something like Mother Nature's diary... they tell us secrets about the plants and animals that lived long ago. The word "fossil" comes from the Latin word fossilis (which means "dug up"). Most of them are dug up by paleontologists, but you just might find one in your own backyard

TODAY'S TRIVIA

Today is Old Inauguration Day. The first U.S. president, George Washington, was inaugurated on March 4, 1789. Until the Twentieth Amendment, ratified in 1933, changed the date of the Presidential Inauguration to January 20th, every American president was inaugurated on this date

Today is HUG A G.I. DAY, honoring all the men and women who serve in the military

(((HUGS TO MY SPECIAL MILITARY BABES!!!)))

1789: The U.S. Constitution went into effect as the first Federal Congress met in New York. The lawmakers then adjourned for lack of a quorum

1793: At the inauguration for his second term, President George Washington delivered the briefest inaugural address ever — 133 words 1

924: The song "Happy Birthday to You" was published

1950: Walt Disney introduced the movie, "Cinderella." In the movie she wore glass slippers. In the original story, she wore fur slippers

TODAY'S SMILE

There was to be an Easter parade in their town and the two young boys were working hard on their small float for the parade in the basement of their church. They decorated their small wagon and placed a wooden cross right in the center of it. They put flowers on and around the cross and draped it with purple strips of cloth.

The pastor happened to stop by the the room. He looked at the boys' float and said, "I am sorry boys, but you have it all wrong. The cross was not beautiful like you have made it. It was rugged, hard, and ugly. You will have to change your float."

The boys stood silent for a moment. Then one of the boys looked up to His pastor and responded, But pastor, I thought that Jesus never touched anything and left it the same!

TODAY'S WORD

TODAY'S REFLECTION

We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. -- -- And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts

II Peter 1:16 & 19

As we recall these prophecies and their fulfillment, our faith can be strengthened, so that we rely on the promises given to us in the Holy Scriptures.

TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC

March comes in with adders' heads and goes out with peacocks' tails

Scottish proverb

16 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 !!!
