John - chapter 10 - verse 11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." Just a reminder that it is Sunday and your shepherd calls.
On this day:
1968 - If things had worked out - I would have been married to Don Michie 46 years today. My hat is off to those who have celebrated long years of marriage together.
1921 - The World Series was broadcast on the radio for the first time. The game was between the New York Giants and the New York Yankees. That time of the year! Hopes for the Tigers is fading. I didn't get married this year, sorry. They have won the pennant twice in my lifetime, the years I got married - 1968 and 1984.
Parenting - Take your kid to the ball game - baseball, football, hockey, whatever, great time together!
Ethiopia - more history:
The earliest possible mention of Ethiopia in records was by the Ancient Egyptians who may have referred to it as the Land of Punt. The earliest kingdom to rise to power in Ethiopia was the Sabean influenced D'mt in the 10th century BC, which established its capital in Yeha. In the first century AD the Aksumite Kingdom rose to power in Tigray Region with its capital at Aksum and grew into a major power on the Red Sea, subjugating Yemen and Meroe and converting to Christianity in the early fourth century. The Aksumite empire fell into decline with the rise of Islam, forcing the Ethiopians to move south into the highlands for refuge. The Aksumites gave way to the Zagwe Dynasty who established a new capital at Lalibela, before giving way to the Solomonic Dynasty in the 13th century. During the early Solomonic period Ethiopia went through military reforms and imperial expansion that made it dominate the Horn of Africa. Portuguese missionaries arrived at this time
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Anniversary Don! RIP
