1 Peter chapter 1 The riches we store up here do not compare with the riches that God has for us in heaven. We all want to live forever, well God has the best life waiting for you safe and sound.
On this day:
1983 My brother Mark and his girlfriend needed to move out of the house they were renting and into another place. I hate moving, we did a lot when I was a kid. Then it wasn't the physical labor of moving, it was leaving everything, like friends, the neighborhood, school, but when you are an adult it is mostly the physical part. I borrowed the van from work and went and loaded it up with their belongings, with their help, and on the way to the new place, the van broke down. I called my friend Patrick and he sent his mechanic to fix it. Thank God for good friends, and he still is. I have been in my house 37 years and hope to never move again.
1983 - The unmanned U.S. space probe Pioneer 10 became the first spacecraft to leave the solar system. It was launched in March Now that was an important move, right out of the solar system.
Parenting - Mom related a story today, which at 92 get increasingly interesting. She changes peoples names so I have a difficult time splicing the story together. Along with other subjects she talked about the depression. My grandmother was a midwife and had gone to a neighbors at the request of the doctor to help the woman during delivery and after with the new baby. She was there for 2 or 3 days and was supposed to be paid a dollar a day. The baby didn't live and the farmer wouldn't pay her. In the same breath, Mom mentioned that my grandfather went to help another farmer reap rhubarb, at a dollar a day. That farmer didn't have money either, he gave Grandpa an armload of rhubarb. They would have been thrilled with minimum wage.
