Delightful walk outside this morning. Saw my neighbor walking his dog Marley for the first time in MONTHS! It was nice to see them both; Marley was even excited to see me! Friends are SO important!

Got home from work very early, and went outside to start on the hill. I worked ALL DAY! It’s wonderful to have it all done! The only parts left to weed now (before I start all over again) are the stones between the fences and a tiny bit in the front. But weeding and yard work is a never-ending task – until winter comes round again.

Today I am sharing Steve’s message. It was a very thought-provoking and cutting-edge message and I won’t do it justice but I’ll recap a few lines. It was: The Acts 3 & 4 Church – Courage. We, too, have to face powers that are against the churches. We are called on to be a Matthew 25 church, but we already DO this! Can we be more relevant, though? We can if we are an Acts 3&4 church. We need to Preach (share) Christ and His salvation. Don’t fall under ideology concepts. Secular and radical theologies are over-shadowing the Holy Spirit. Do not be afraid; have courage to speak boldly. These are trying times. Have courage – believe and pray!

On this day in 1611 – first known performance of MacBeth at Globe Theatre, and in 1862 the first pasteurization test (Louis Pasteur). The first world motor race was in France in 1887, and in 1918 Manfred von Richthofen (Red Baron) shot down his 79th and 80th victims – sure glad Snoopy wasn’t one of them! Adolf Hitler was born in 1889. George Clinton – 4th Vice President of the US died at age 73 in 1812 – he was the first vice-president to die in office. And Bram Stoker (wrote Dracula) died at age 64 in 1912.

TOMORROW April 21st is:

• National Chocolate Covered Cashews Day
• National Kindergarten Day
• National Yellow Bat Day
• National Administrative Professionals’ Day 

My days of being an Administrative Professional are behind me – and I’m not a bit sorry; nor do I miss it! I like being just where I am! God bless…
