John the Gospel - chapter 16 - Jesus spoke plainly to his disciples about who he is. The Son of God.
We are not promised a rich easy existence here, we are promised peace of heart and mind. This life is all about how you perceive it - glass 1/2 full or 1/2 empty. "In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." verse 33.
On this day:
2010 On this day a lot of years I was working the craft show at church. Every year each circle had a different task, on this one Grace Circle had the door admission. Mom's circle Hope, had the lunch. They gave up doing the craft shows, apparently people aren't excited about handmade kitchen towels anymore. My friend Monna has taken the lead position with Mom's group as they are all in their 90's now and only one is capable of doing any tasks. Yesterday Monna took Mom to her circle meeting along with the cake I baked, and I got to keep Abel, Monna's grandson. Nice trade huh?
1635 - Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, was banished from Massachusetts because he had spoken out against punishments for religious offenses and giving away land that belonged to the Indians. Williams had founded Providence, Rhode Island as a place for people to seek religious freedom. First guy to fight the system? Did he also write that song, Trailer for sale or rent?
Parenting - AND I got Abel for the day. What a great happy kid. We played outside for most of the 3 hours he was here. We did go in when any of the lawn services showed up in the area (even a couple houses down) because, his Papa told him to go in the house when someone is cutting the lawn. He would watch out the window until they left and then announce "outside". When I was exhausted and sat on the swing outside he came and took my hand "play". Great up bringing on this guy! And a great physical trainer.
Dʿmt[edit] ETHIOPIA
Main article: Dʿmt
The first kingdom known to have existed in Ethiopia was the kingdom of D'mt, with its capital at Yeha, where a Sabaean style temple was built around 700 BC. It rose to power around the 10th century BC. The D'mt kingdom was influenced by the Sabaeans in Yemen, however it is not known to what extent. While it was once believed that D'mt was a Sabaean colony, it is now believed that Sabaean influence was minor, limited to a few localities, and disappeared after a few decades or a century, perhaps representing a trading or military colony in some sort of symbiosis or military alliance with the civilization of Dʿmt or some other proto-Aksumite state.[21][22] Few inscriptions by or about this kingdom survive and very little archaeological work has taken place. As a result, it is not known whether Dʿmt ended as a civilization before Aksum's early stages, evolved into the Aksumite state, or was one of the smaller states united in the Aksumite kingdom possibly around the beginning of the 1st century.[23] 
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!
