Snoopy would have said it was a dark and stormy night – but I’ll say it was a cold and snowy morning! However, it WAS a beautiful snow, and the roads were clear when I left for work.
The painting and trim is all done, except for touchup, and I don’t want to do that until the furniture is back in place and we’ve hung the pictures. Anytime you get me even NEAR a screw driver or a hammer the outcome is not good. I’m sure I will add a few spots to our touch up list by the time I’m done. Nate did a superb job and I’m very excited with the results, and the promise of perfection to come!
I will share Paul’s message from River Hill from Sunday – Sanctity of Life. This is a subject that is hard to talk about and even harder to preach about. Life is precious, every life is priceless. God knit us together in our mother’s womb; from the very second of conception we were ‘life’. Unborn babies are not ‘Tissue’ – it’s a baby. Abortion activists want to keep God out of it, but God’s presence is there. If you consider an Eagle’s egg, it’s considered a bird; but an unborn baby is tissue. It’s not tissue, or a possession: It’s a CHILD. We as Christians 1) Must stand for morality 2) help heal broken lives. We are all sinners and are saved by grace. Show love and forgiveness just as Jesus did, and help hurting people find peace and grace and salvation. Respect human life – for the very beginning.
On this day in 1993 Martin Luther King Jr holiday was observed in all 50 states for the first time. John Tyler – 10th president – (age 71) died in 1862; Rudyard Kipling (70) died in 1936; he got married on his 26th birthday. Daniel Webster was born in 1782, A A Milne (author of Winnie the Pooh books) was born in 1882. Oliver Hardy (of Laurel and Hardy comedy team) in 1892, Cary Grant in 1904, and Kevin Costner in 1955. My friend Liz is celebrating a birthday today. She worked in my office at Smail Auto, and was young and fun and a great worker! I miss seeing her! Have a great birthday Elizabeth Stape – and many more!
TOMORROW January 19 is:
Have some popcorn, be thankful for your life, and celebrate the day. God bless!
