Exercised my right to praise God!
Pastors sermon this morning was about the walk to Emmaus when Jesus showed up after the crucifixion and was walking with his followers. They did not recognize him. It is a mystery. But when they arrived and he broke bread with them, they knew him. Would you recognize Him?
On this day: 2013
Last year this day was Saturday, and it was the Kentucky Derby. I usually watch but never remember who won, and I didn't write it down. Yesterday the winner was California Chrome. It is so exciting to see with all the people and hats and hoopla. I think I will put it on my bucket list, I might have to have a bucked to get in.
Parenting - I'm a bad parent. My daughter, soon to be 29, stills fools around during church. Her friend's father, made the teenage grandchildren stop fooling around, I'm sure he meant it to extend to my daughter as well. The sermon sillies don't appear to be age related.
Book Club - Looks like a good Sunday afternoon to read Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough.
Zuato Venezuela; How about a little more history:
Venezuela is a federal presidential republic consisting of 23 states, the Capital District (covering Caracas), and Federal Dependencies (covering Venezuela's offshore islands). Venezuela also claims all Guyanese territory west of the Essequibo River, a 159,500 square kilometres (61,583 sq mi) tract dubbed Guayana Esequiba or the Zona en Reclamación (the "zone being reclaimed").[5]
Venezuela is among the most urbanized countries in Latin America;[6][7] the vast majority of Venezuelans live in the cities of the north, especially in the capital, Caracas, which is also the largest city in Venezuela. Since the discovery of oil in the early 20th century, Venezuela has been one of the world's leading exporters of oil and has the largest oil reserves. Previously an underdeveloped exporter of agricultural commodities such as coffee and cocoa, oil quickly came to dominate exports and government revenues. The 1980s oil glut led to an external debt crisis and a long-running economic crisis, which saw inflation peak at 100% in 1996 and poverty rates rise to 66% in 1995[8] as (by 1998) per capita GDP fell to the same level as 1963, down a third from its 1978 peak.[9]
Enjoy the Day! Make it memorable!
