It was very cool but nice walking outside this morning. After work I cut the grass and pulled weeds for a few hours until it was time to come in. Not a very exciting day but a beautiful day to be outside.

I sent Peyton’s pigs a note in the mail and Kelly posted it on facebook. I thought they needed welcomed to their neighborhood!

Peyton’s two fair pigs – welcome!

I noticed that my friend Linda posted on facebook that she was hungry for cake (it’s her birthday!) but wasn’t up to a Walmart run. She’s been having issues with her hip that makes it painful to walk much. So I got cleaned up and zipped over to get her a small cake! No one should have their birthday go uncelebrated! And I was able to find her favorite cake.

Linda’s favorite – Carrot cake!

Today I will share Micah’s message from Old Mahoning – The importance of prayer. Prayer isn’t easy but it’s very important. Jesus gave us the model prayer with a pattern: 1) Acknowledge the supremacy of the Father 2) See His sovereignty 3) Ask for supplies 4) Lead us from temptations 5) ask for forgiveness 6) Our opponent – to resist the devil. Be persistent; keep asking, seeking, knocking. Prayer is our first priority. God promises to reward those who seek him and ask.

On this day in 1775 the American revolution began in Lexington MA – the Shot Heard Round the World took place later that day in Concord; also in 1775 Paul Revere and two others were captured by British troops. In 1932 President Herbert Hoover suggested the five day work week (I like this guy…) In 1934 Shirley Temple appeared in her first feature length film – Stand Up and Cheer, and in 1963 Johnny Cash released ‘Ring of Fire’ (co-written by June Carter, his future wife). Charles Darwin died in 1882 at age 73. And as mentioned above, my friend Linda is celebrating a birthday today – with cake! Happy birthday Linda- enjoy your treat and have a wonderful celebration and a happy year!

TOMORROW April 20th is:

Wow – I never knew it was important to respect a lima bean. I guess I should research that, and maybe see if it has a look alike somewhere? Have a terrific Tuesday! God bless…
