Hebrews chapter 10: persevere in faith. We are not faced with the persecution in this country, but there are some in this world who are still dying for their faith - Christians and others a like. They can take your life and your possessions but don't let them take your faith, be confident. There are plenty of things that are stealing faith all around you, don't fall for it. God loves you.
On this day;
2003 - Nicole spent the day with her friend Laura, then everyone came here for pizza, Grandma, Aunt Jan, The Nieto's and Uncle Marty. We loaded his van with all of Nicole's "stuff" and spent the evening answering the phone and saying bye to all the neighbors. She left for college the next day, it still makes me cry.
1923 - In Kalamazoo, Michigan, an ordinance was passed forbidding dancers from gazing into the eyes of their partner. This makes me cry too, with laughter.
Parenting - I was raised in a family that respected the law, no matter what. We were taught that you responded with "yes sir" or "no mam" when speaking to an officer or someone in charge. We had police officers in our circle of friends and later in the family. I believe that we must respect the people that uphold the laws that we have voted into existence. When people lose respect for the basic principals, they lose respect for themselves. I understand that there are bad police officers and people in charge and also there are people that have no respect for the law and believe they are above it. I think, until young black males stop posturing as tough, aggressive assailants in the face of a police officer there will continue to be officers that feel threatened and shoot without hesitation. Lets pray for both sides of this equation.
Book club - Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon. On the river going up to Jamie's Aunt's plantation, they are boarded and robbed by a man whose life they saved. See an example of similar incongruity above.
