Started the morning with a fun txt message, but also with snow! Just a dusting, but still. It’s only the 2nd. After work I came home and started a big pot of Stuffed Pepper soup. April is coming for supper and it’s a cool (but sunny) day. I also added a piece of leafy garland to the light string on the back of the couch (my sister’s garland inspired me!). It looks very stunning and festive!
April and I had a great visit – as it always the case – and we covered every topic from work to kids/grandkids to houses and being lonely and keeping busy and vacations — It was a fun night! We had the soup and garlic breadsticks and a salad, and I bakes a few of those pre-made cookies for dessert. It’s a blessing to have dear friends to spend time with, and it’s also very rare these days! A big thanks to April for spending her evening with me.
I listened to a guest speaker at First Baptist this afternoon. The message was about the first commandment. God wants a relationship with us; He must be first above all else. God not only made us in His image, but also bought us with a price, the death of His only son. Do you do allow other gods to take precedence in your life? Where is your center; where do you go when you need rest? What is most important to you? We must set our minds on things above, not on things of earth. God expects nothing less.
On this day in 1898 Johnny Campbell led the crowd in cheering for the University of MN – first cheerleaders! Quite a stretch from the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders!!! 1907 banker J P Morgan locked over 40 bankers in his library to force them to find ways to avert the NY banking crisis. (Glad I didn’t have to sit in on THAT meeting!!!) In 1983 president Ronald Reagan signed a bill designating a national holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “THRILLER” by Michael Jackson went worldwide. Lots of birthdays today. 1734 was Daniel Boone, who was born in Reading Pennsylvania. Marie Antoinette (“Let them eat cake!”) was born in 1755. Our 11th president James K Polk was born in 1795, and the 29th president Warren G Harding in 1865. Burt Lancaster was born in 1913. And my cousin Gwen’s daughter (Gwen is a skunk hollow girl!) Tara Louise Sadler is celebrating today! Happy birthday Tara!
