HAPPY THURSDAY

Wednesday was a cold one, but the Sunshine was out all day. And some good news – Gas prices were 1.98 when I got gas for the car today. That’s the first time it’d been under a dollar for quite some time.

The critters and I are just staying in and keeping warm in the evenings.

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

Please pray for God's protection of our troops and HIS wisdom for their commanders.

Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

TODAY IS…METRIC SYSTEM DAY

I tried - I REALLY tried - and I still don't know my Kilometers from my Liters. But there's help here...

TODAY’S TRIVIA

Today is Pooh Day, marking the birth of writer A.A. Milne on this date in 1882. He created Winnie the Pooh.

The Week of Christian Unity begins today

In 1778, on this day, Captain James Cook, of the British Navy, thought he was the first to find a group of islands in the Pacific. He named them the Sandwich Islands in honor of England’s Earl of Sandwich, the first lord of the British Admiralty. Little did he know that the islands already had a name. The people who lived on them called the islands Hawaii (known to us now as the 50th of the United States).

1956: The first rock ‘n’ roll LP made the Billboard pop album chart: "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & The Comets. The single had reached only #23 in 1954, but hit #1 when it was re-released a year later.

 1986: Dionne Warwick’s single for AIDS research, "That’s What Friends Are For," became her second #1 song.

TODAY’S SMILE

An atheist who was an enthusiastic fisherman had heard how good the fishing was in Scotland. So he went to Scotland and went fishing from a small rowboat on the Loch Ness.

Beneath his boat, the fearsome Loch Ness monster gathered its muscles and slapped the boat high into the air. The fisherman looked down and saw a wide mouth with gaping teeth waiting for him to fall into it.

He said, "Oh, God, save me from being eaten alive."

Instantly, time froze and a voice boomed from the heavens,

"I thought you didn't believe in Me."

The fisherman replied, "You need to give me a break on this one. Until about five seconds ago, I didn't even believe in the Loch Ness monster.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need.

Wouldn’t you love to stop worrying? Could you use a strong shelter from life’s harsh elements? God offers you just that: the possibility of a worry-free life.

Not just less worry, but no worry.
