July 9, 2015 Thursday #Nanavut Day (Canada) #Faithfulness #Noah #Runaway

Get Fit
I did some Abs and Arms this morning.  You can do some sit ups and arm presses using cans of food for light weights.  I did exercises at Mom's assisted living place with her and the group yesterday.  They all sit around in their wheelchairs and squeeze a rubber ball, lift light weights and then kick a beach ball back and forth!  You are never too old.


Get Faith
Genesis chapter 7  This is the story of Noah and the ark.  It was the 17th day of the second month, which is my birthday by our calendar.  He actually took 7 pairs of some animals (for food) and two of all types of life from the earth.  The water from springs below and the waters from above were released to flood the earth and everything but Noah and those in the ark perished.  Noah was saved by his faithfulness to God.  God was faithful to you in his promise to not flood the entire world again.


On This Day
1985 - I took Nicole over to Pam's house to the pool for the day.  She wasn't even 2 months old.  Pam kept her pool at bath water temp and Nicole was quite comfortable.  Water.


1985 - Herschel Walker of the New Jersey Generals was named the Most Valuable Player in the United States Football League (USFL). I haven't heard of him, the team or the league before, but this happened while Nicole, Pam and I and probably her boys were lounging in the pool.


Parenting
My heart goes out to those families with Autistic children.  The news has been all about the 9 year old boy missing from a local camp ground.  Please keep him in your prayers. 


Come Get These Memories - of the Sixties
     There was not a word spoken when I got home.  No one said, are you ok, or are you hungry, what happened?  They didn’t yell or cry or anything.  Just like it didn’t happen.
I went to bed.
     After that Mom and I had hardly any confrontations but our relationship changed.  I figured she would not want me to run away again because it would look bad to the family if I was gone, like “What happened to Jean?”  What could she say if I ran away again.  But I never did.

Motherwell Scotland

Transport

Railway

The town has three stations, the main railway station (known simply as Motherwell), Airbles and Shieldmuir. The main station runs on the West Coast Main Line from Glasgow to London and on the East Coast Main Line via Edinburgh and Newcastle, and is located next to Motherwell Shopping Centre. National train operators; Virgin Trains, CrossCountry and TransPennine Express, pass through the main station, but not all stop there. The station is also served by Abellio ScotRail who provide direct services to Carstairs, Coatbridge Central, Cumbernauld, Dalmuir, Edinburgh, Lanark, Milngavie and North Berwick. Virgin Trains East Coast also provide a direct daily service between London Kings Cross and Glasgow Central that stops at Motherwell. The smaller station in the Airbles suburb of Motherwell only runs on the line to Dalmuir via Glasgow Central low level and Hamilton Central; however, it is closer to the Civic Centre and Fir Park stadium than the main-line station. That station is served by First ScotRail.
The (now defunct) firm of Hurst Nelson was a major railway rolling stock manufacturer based in the town. The company built trains for the London Underground, as well as main line railways.

Roads

Motherwell is very accessible, as it is right next to the M74 motorway beside the River Clyde. This road leads to Cumbria on the Anglo-Scottish border, where it becomes the M6. It is also about 3 miles (5 km) drive from the M8 motorway, between the two largest cities of Scotland, Glasgow and Edinburgh. In the future, there are plans to build a dual carriageway, that will travel through the town linking the two motorways.

Bus

There are a number of different bus companies that travel through the town to various different locations. Some examples include First, JMB Travel, Whitelaws and Coakleys.
Some of the places that can be accessible by bus from Motherwell:

Nearest Airports

Since the M74 Extension has been completed, access to Glasgow Airport has become easier. The airport is approximately 16 miles (26 km) away from Motherwell. Edinburgh Airport is further away, at 31 miles (50 km), and can be reached by the M8  Well connected!  Let's go!


Enjoy the Day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday Noah (honest),
