Matthew chapter 3 - Baptism, the day we celebrate Jesus being baptized and remembering our own baptism. It is important, it is the day we invite the Spirit into our own life or the child we are standing up for. I don't think it makes it impossible for entry into heaven, but I think it makes it a lot easier, like having a membership card. Please consider yourself a member anyway, Jesus left his name at the door for you.
1990 On this day, I wish Marty were still around to tell this story. He loved Toto, they were soul mates. Mark was working the boat show at Cobo hall and the kids, Marty and I decided to have pizza for dinner and then watched tv until Mark got home, late and asked what we had for dinner. Marty said " we left you a whole pizza on the table." Mark looked and didn't see anything till he found the empty pizza box under the table. The dog had eaten an entire large pepperoni pizza and was laying next to the table looking like only a guilty dog can. Who else has a "my dog ate it" story?
Parenting - That joyful moment when they are showing pictures on the big screen in the front of the church during servicem of the youth gathering they had been at - and there's your daughter with a unicorn head on. Fortunately you couldn't tell it was her, but I think most people knew. I love my daughter. Blessed be the joyful for they shall bring joy. He didn't say that, I did.
Vancouver -
Incorporation[edit]
The City of Vancouver was incorporated on April 6, 1886, the same year that the first transcontinental train arrived. CPR president William Van Horne arrived in Port Moody to establish the CPR terminus recommended by Henry John Cambie, and gave the city its name in honour of George Vancouver.[32] The Great Vancouver Fire on June 13, 1886, razed the entire city. The Vancouver Fire Department was established that year and the city quickly rebuilt.[33] Vancouver's population grew from a settlement of 1,000 people in 1881 to over 20,000 by the turn of the century and 100,000 by 1911.[38]Vancouver merchants outfitted prospectors bound for the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898.[29] One of those merchants, Charles Woodward, had opened the first Woodward's store at Abbott and Cordova Streets in 1892 and, along with Spencer's and the Hudson's Bay department stores, formed the core of the city's retail sector for decades.[39]
The economy of early Vancouver was dominated by large companies such as the CPR, which fuelled economic activity and led to the rapid development of the new city;[40] in fact the CPR was the main real estate owner and housing developer in the city. While some manufacturing did develop, natural resources became the basis for Vancouver's economy. The resource sector was initially based on logging and later on exports moving through the seaport, where commercial traffic constituted the largest economic sector in Vancouver by the 1930s.[41]
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!
