Luke chapter 22 - About Jesus on the Mount of Olives, praying, when Judas brings the troops to arrest him. It tells of Peter cutting off the ear of the high priest's servant. Jesus quickly healed the ear. The study writer points out that Jesus was quick to correct the wrong doing. He covers our backs and turns our mistakes into lessons.
On this day;
1994 - We had a BIG snow it says in my journal. I didn't write down any numbers, but the nice thing was my neighbors Jason and Carman shoveled my snow. Many years I did my own and Al across the street. Now there are a couple of us that clean up and this year Nicole and I bought a new snow blower. Every year is different. I'm still hoping for no snow. How do you deal with this, oh you live in an apartment, I see.
1994 - Figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed on the right leg by an assailant at Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI. Four men were later sentenced to prison for the attack, including Tonya Harding's ex-husband. Remember this?
Parenting - Spent the day yesterday at the funeral home. Brandon was only 25, well loved, raised in the church, supportive family, all the right ingredients. But Brandon made a different choice, he chose drugs and overdosed. My friend Gerry did the service and reassured the full room that they were not responsible for Brandon's death, he was, but not intentionally. We don't want to believe that a young man that loved cooking, his nephews and nieces and had so many friends would take his own life. God fovgives and we believe Brandon knew that.
Ha Bhouton - Lets find out more!
Etymology[edit]
Historians have suggested that variations of the Sanskrit words Bhota-ant (end of Bhot, an Indian name for Tibet) or Bhu-uttan (meaning highlands) led to the name Bhutan.[14] The precise etymology of "Bhutan" is unknown, although it is likely to derive from the Tibetan endonym "Bod" used for Greater Tibet. Traditionally, it is taken to be a transcription of the Sanskrit Bhoṭa-anta (भोट-अन्त, "end of Tibet"), a reference to Bhutan's position as the southern extremity of the Tibetan plateau and culture.[15][16]Since the 17th century the official name of Bhutan has been Drukyul (country of the Drokpa, the Dragon People, or the Land of the Thunder Dragon, a reference to the country's dominant Buddhist sect) and Bhutan only appears in English-language official correspondence.[14]
Names similar to Bhutan — including Bottanthis, Bottan and Bottanter — began to appear in Europe around the 1580s. Jean-Baptiste Tavernier's 1676 Six Voyages is the first to record the name Boutan. However, in every case, these seem to have been describing not modern Bhutan but the Kingdom of Tibet. The modern distinction between the two did not begin until well into Bogle's 1774 expedition — realizing the differences between the two regions, cultures and states, his final report to the East India Company formally proposed labeling the Druk Desi's kingdom as "Boutan" and the Panchen Lama's as "Tibet". The EIC's surveyor general James Rennell first anglicized the French name as Bootan and then popularized the distinction between it and greater Tibet.[17]
Locally, Bhutan has been known by many names. One of the earliest Western records of Bhutan, the 1627 Relação of the Portuguese Jesuits Estêvão Cacella and João Cabral, records its name variously as Cambirasi (among the Koch Biharis[18]), Potente, and Mon (an endonym for southern Tibet).[17] The first time a separate Kingdom of Bhutan did appear on a western map, it did so under its local name as "Broukpa".[17] Others including Lho Mon ("Dark Southland"), Lho Tsendenjong ("Southland of the Cypress"), Lhomen Khazhi ("Southland of the Four Approaches") and Lho Men Jong ("Southland of the Herbs").[19][20]''
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!
