Get Fit
Balletecize. Do you remember when they used to have the football players learn ballet for strength and balance? I have had this video for a number of years but I am sure there are others out there. Try it!
Get Faith
2 Peter 1:16-21 This is about the disciples sharing the faith to us because they saw the Gospel happening. We can be assured that this is true because the Spirit is given to us and we trust the Word of God given to us in the Bible. I would rather die believing in this than live with what some others believe. Have faith and believe.
On this day
1985 - My Mom makes the best stollen, a German bread she always made at Christmas. It was a lot of work but she always included an extra couple of loafs, one for my Uncle Hank, her brother and one for his son Dennis. I have friends that make stollen now, and it is the closest to my Mom's that I have found. I never made it myself - not many like fruit bread anymore.
1980 - On Jefferson Island, Louisiana, an oil rig in Lake Pigneur pierced the top of the salt dome beneath the island. The freshwater lake completely drained within a few hours. The Delcambre Canal reversed flow and two days later the previous freshwater lake was a 1,300-foot-deep saltwater lake. Am I wrong in thinking this was horrible?
Parenting
I have been talking lately to friends about how the taste of new generations is different than ours. They don't like the typical meat with mashed potatoes and gravy that we were raised on. They don't like the old standard stews etc, that we loved. I believe fast food has taken over what they consider real food.What do you think?

Kaarina Finland
Demography. In 1997, the population was about 5,147,000 people, of whom 93 percent were ethnically and linguistically Finns. High mortality from wars and famine dampened population growth between the sixteenth and late nineteenth centuries. In the twentieth century, a falling birthrate and emigration led to very low population growth. Dramatic internal migration accompanied an economic transformation between the 1950s and the mid-1970s, when agriculture and the forestry industry were rapidly mechanized. At that time, many young people left the rural east and northeast to work in the urban industrialized south. While 75 percent of the population lived in rural areas just before World War II, by the late 1990s, 62 percent of the people were urban dwellers. About a sixth of the population lives in the Helsinki metropolitan area along the south-central coast in the province of Uusimaa. Helsinki became the capital in 1812 under Russian control, replacing the role Turku had served during Swedish domination. Substantial Finnish populations live in Russia, the United States, Canada, and Sweden, and smaller numbers reside in Australia, South Africa, and Latin America.
