Get Fit
Try some Pilates again today, The core strengthening is amazing for your back and your posture, unless you don't have problems with that, then do something else. :)
Get Faith
John 3:17 - For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. And this. 1 John 3:16 - By this we know love, that He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. Two excellent reminders for Veterans Day - You are forgiven and Thank you for laying down your lives for our lives.
On This Day
2003 I took a personal day, haha like I got those. I called in sick my back was bothering me. I spent the day cleaning the utility room, which hasn't been done since. I need another personal day, oh yeah, I'm retired. Going to the show and a movie today.
1918 - World War I came to an end when the Allies and Germany signed an armistice. This day became recognized as Veteran's Day in the United States. Thank You! for your service!
Parenting
I'm thinking about all the service people that have children at home, missing them. In some cases they are making a better life for themselves to provide for their families, by getting an education, learning a profession and sometime establishing future financial security. Other times they are protecting the freedoms of not only Americans but people all over the world - if some are not free no one is free. I pray today that all of our armed services in harms way are given special protection by God, always. And, I pray that their children all get their parents back.

Kaarina Finland more history
In 1917, Finland declared independence. A civil war between the Finnish Red Guards and the White Guard ensued a few months later, with the "Whites" gaining the upper hand during the springtime of 1918. After the internal affairs stabilized, the still mainly agrarian economy grew relatively fast. Relations with the West, especially Sweden and Britain, were strong but tensions remained with the Soviet Union. During the Second World War, Finland fought twice against the Soviet Union and defended its independence, though in the 1947 peace settlement, it ended up ceding a large part of Karelia and some other areas to the Soviet Union. However, Finland remained an independent democracy in North Europe. Lets hear it for independence!
Enjoy the Day! Make it Memorable!
