June 18, 2015 Thursday First Day of Ramadan #patience#calm#love

Get Fit
I use a lot of sugar in my coffee and tea.  I need to cut back so I'm going back to artificial sweetners. I eat pretty healthy but tea and cookies can be my downfall.  Staying fit is more than just exercising.




Get Faith
Isaiah chapter 40 - Starts with "Comfort, comfort my people, says your God." and finishes with "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Our God is an awesome God.  Be patient.




On this day
1995 - It was the day after Merri's graduation party at my house.  We were all over at Andy's and Alice's in the pool.  Relaxing.  Water is calming isn't it? 


1667 - The Dutch fleet sailed up the Thames toward London. I wonder if this was a relaxing cruise or the onset of war.


Parenting
Losing a baby during pregnancy is horrible.  It is not God's will or punishment, but only He knows why.  Anger, sorrow and grief seem to be your closest companions at this time.  There are no answers and no promises anyone can give you.  Husbands and family are sharing the pain but you alone feel the defeat.  Time, faith and the love of your family will get you through it.


Come Get These Memories - of the Sixties

     “I don’t think Martin should go up to the room, he might see something he shouldn’t and get scared.  Adam and I will go up and see Dad and see what he thinks.”

     So I stayed in the waiting area in the front with Martin until they came back down and said Dad didn’t think it was a great idea, but he would look out of the window and wave to us, which he did.

Mauritania Travel Warning

Last Updated: October 7, 2014

The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of traveling to Mauritania, and urges those who travel to Mauritania to exercise extreme caution because of activities by terrorist groups in the region, including al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).  AQIM continues to demonstrate its intent and ability to conduct attacks against foreign nationals, including U.S. citizens.  This replaces the travel warning for Mauritania, issued March 12, 2014, to update information on security incidents and remind travelers of security concerns.
Good thing we are cyber travelers!
Enjoy the day!  Make it Memorable!  Happy Birthday Annaliese,
