TODAY’S ACTION
Never talk defeat, for it you do, you can talk yourself into accepting it.
TODAY’S QUOTE
You can only play one hole at a time. Keep your mind on the hole you're playing. Don't worry about the shot you just missed or how you're going to play the 18th. Taking care of the present lets the future take care of itself.
Tom Kite former U.S Ryder Cup golfer.
Today is God's most precious gift to us. Looking after today as best we can, will ensure that tomorrow will be well looked after too.

TODAY’S TRIVIA
Jim Henson, was born on this day in 1936. The puppeteer first named his puppets, Muppets, in 1954 when he was working as a producer of the Washington, D.C. TV show, Sam and Friends. Henson moved his Muppets to network TV in 1969. Children of all ages were able to enjoy the Muppets’ antics on the educational, yet entertaining Sesame Street. The Muppets then got their own show, The Muppet Show; which generated The Muppet Movie and other films, like The Muppets Take Manhattan and The Great Muppet Caper. And Jim Henson got the awards: 18 Emmys, 17 Grammys, 4 Peabody Awards and 5 Ace Awards (National Cable Television Association).
1961 - Bullwinkle J. Moose and his friend, Rocket J. (Rocky) Squirrel, were seen in prime time for the first time on NBC-TV. The Sunday night cartoon (7-7:30 p.m.) was called The Bullwinkle Show. Originally Bullwinkle and Rocky appeared on ABC in a weekday afternoon series, Rocky and His Friends.
1968 - The longest-running newsmagazine on television began on CBS-TV. 60 Minutes started on this, a Tuesday, night in 1968. During its first three years on the tube, 60 Minutes ran on an alternate-week schedule with CBS News Hour, moving to Sundays (all by itself) in early 1972. 60 Minutes debuted with two correspondents: Mike Wallace and Harry Reasoner.
1977 - Get out the polyester cruisewear! The Love Boat set sail -- on ABC-TV. Captain Stubing (Gavin MacLeod); Cruise Director, Julie McCoy (Lauren Tewes); Dr. Adam Bricker (Bernie Kopell); Bartender, Isaac Washington (Ted Lange); and Yeoman-Purser, Burl ‘Gopher’ Smith (Fred Grandy) took to the calm seas each week. The show’s theme, The Love Boat, written by Paul Williams and Charles Fox, was sung by Jack Jones.

WHEN YOU GOTTA GO…
On a Sunday morning a mother knocked on her son’s bedroom door and told him that it was time to get up and go to church. “I’m not going to church this morning,” said the son. “You gotta get up and go to church”, replied the mother. “No, I’m not.” said the son. “Yes you are”, yelled the mother. “No, I’m not, they don’t like me and I don’t like them.
Give me two good reasons why I have to go,” stated the son. “Number one, you’re 55 years-old and number two, you’re the pastor!”

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you … Jeremiah 1:5
God’s actions are deliberate. He chose for me to have life and He gave me life out of love. Everything about me was God’s deliberate choice – even my gender.
Give me spiritual eyes to see what more this tells me about your plan for me.
To fulfill your spiritual mission, Jesus must be the center of your life. This can happen through prayer.
TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
Habits are first cobwebs and then cables.
September 24th is Harvest Home
In Europe and Britain, the conclusion of the harvest each autumn was once marked by great festivals of fun, feasting, and thanksgiving known as “Harvest Home.” It was also a time to hold elections, pay workers, and collect rents. These festivals usually took place around the time of the autumnal equinox. Certain ethnic groups in this country, particularly the Pennsylvania Dutch, have kept the tradition alive.
