April 29, 2014 Tuesday New Moon watch out for the crazies

Workout with Jillian.  At this point I can get through 4 or 5 sets of 3 repetitions with 3 lb weights.  She said that you shouldn't use heavier weights because of the length of the workout.  It is intense, so far the only one I cannot do is the one where they go down to the knees while lifting weights and get back up in a single move.  uh, huh not happening.  Do what you can!


Gospel of Mark - chapter 4 - about the disciples and Jesus going across the lake in the boat when a storm comes up.  Jesus is asleep.  The miraculous part of this story is that Jesus calms the storm.  Who has power over the elements?  Only God.  This is tornado season, lets pray for those who need help.


On this day:  1988
1988 - Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev promised more religious freedom. How did that work out?


1988 - Nicole was three and I had a great neighbor, Rose and her two boys.  Life was good, we took the kids to McDonalds and then to the show to see Fox and Hound.  Rose and I both cried.  They moved away, the boys are grown, one is married with children.  I still have that movie on video. sniff


Parenting - Was watching a tv segment just now where a mom was being interviewed and her special needs daughter (4) was sitting on her lap and singing into the microphone, while they were talking.  It was cute, they were all enjoying it, she knew what to do with that mic.  God bless those that are called on to be super parents, lord knows it is hard enough at times.


Book Club - Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough.  I didn't know too much about Theodore Roosevelt before this.  I like him.

The Great Blue Hole. A phenomenon of Karst topography

The Belize Barrier Reef is a series of coral reefs straddling the coast of Belize, roughly 300 meters (980 ft) offshore in the north and 40 kilometers (25 mi) in the south within the country limits. The Belize Barrier Reef is a 300 kilometers (190 mi) long section of the 900 kilometers (560 mi) long Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, which is continuous from Cancún on the northeast tip of the Yucatán Peninsula through the Riviera Maya up to Honduras making it one of the largest coral reef systems in the world after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the New Caledonia Barrier Reef.
It is Belize's top tourist destination, popular for scuba diving and snorkeling, and attracting almost half of its 260,000 visitors. It is also vital to its fishing industry.^[51] Charles Darwin described it as "the most remarkable reef in the West Indies" in 1842.
Wow!  Glad we didn't miss this!!


Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
