I was just star-gazing, and I think it’s too cloudy to see anything. Maybe someone else caught it and posted it on facebook and I can see it. What an amazing thought! The Christmas Star!
Work was light today but still a little that needed done. Stopped to help Mike (and Tina), and they gave me a framed copy of a newspaper add from September of 1969. Mike and I both worked there, and so did Stoney. What an amazing memory, and the kids will like seeing their dad on there! When I got home I decided that it was Grilled Cheese o’clock! Yum! After I started laundry I bundled up in multiple layers and washed the car. It was really road-dirty.

I watched the video presented by Old Mahoning church. The kids had a nativity play, complete with a really ‘rockin’ Mary (she rocked the whole time in her rocking chair! It was too cute!), angels, inn keeper, wise men … Micah had a short message about ‘It’s a Boy!’ Mostly we can find out if the expected baby is a boy or girl, but 2000 years ago no one knew ahead of time – except by angelic or prophetic intervention. Jesus was prophesied 400 years before he was born! He is the promised one, the Lamb of God. Eternal life through Jesus is God’s gift. As in any gift we may receive in the next few days, we have to decide if we will open it and what we will do with it. Jesus is our gift, our salvation. Will you use it? Claim it? Emanuel – God with us!
On this day in 1864 General Sherman conquered Savannah, and in 1898 Pierre & Marie Curie discovered radium. In 1914 the 1st feature-length silent film comedy “Tillie’s Punctured Romance” released starring Marie Dressler, Mabel Normand and Charlie Chaplin. In 1933 Fox films signed Shirley Temple, age 5, to a studio contract, and in 1937 the first full-length animated feature film and the earliest in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, premiered. In 1970 Elvis Presley met US President Richard Nixon in the White House – the image of this meeting is the most requested photo from the entire National Archives.
Jane Fonda was born in 1937, and married Ted Turner on this date in 1991. F. Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940 at age 44 of a heart attack, and in 2014 Elton John married David Furnish – think I’ll leave that one alone…. 🙂 Love!!!
TOMORROW December 22 is:
Four more days! If you have little ones, they are probably beyond excited! I love the WHOLE MONTH: Music, lights, tinsel, trees, dishes, food, friends (socially distanced, of course!). Rejoice! God bless . . .
