February 9, 2016 Tuesday #yoga#acceptance#coldcalls#messypolitics#God'speople#facts

Get Fit
Did some AM yoga this morning.  Looking forward to Friday when I can maybe get to Holy Yoga, God willing and the creek don't rise.

Get  Faith
Acts 10:23b-33  This is a continuation of a story from a couple of days ago.  Peter was summoned by God to go to Cornelius's house.  Cornelius was a good man, but not a Jew, so it was different for Peter, who was a Jew to visit the home of a Gentile.  Peter was told by a voice what he needed to know.  "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."  God released us from the laws he had previously made that separated people from each other.  The Jews were now expected to be accepting of everyone.  That is what Jesus taught for us - in a perfect world.

On this day
1982 - I was working at Quality at the time and stopped at Art Works at Eastland Mall on my way home.  It was a frame shop that had newly opened and I was the outside sales person.  I actually loved going to all the art shops around the Detroit area.  It was great to see all the art and meet such a wide array of people.  Cold calls are hard to get used to but after a while I grew into it.

1825 - The U.S. House of Representatives elected John Quincy Adams president. No candidate had received a majority of electoral votes. The way this election is going I could see this happening.

Family 
This family I would talk about today is the family of God, the people of the earth.  I am blown away by diversity and the wonderful gifts of different peoples around the world.  I love to experience the music, culture and food of all countries and so do a lot of you.  That is why we have a wide variety of restaurants representing different cuisine.  Too bad we can't love each other as much as we love, Mexican, Chinese, Thai and so on - food.  Embrace variety!
