Get Fit
Going to get a walk in today before Bible Study at church.  Walking is the best!

Get Faith
Colossians 3:5-6  Being human makes it hard to give up the passion we sometimes have in life.  Our earthly desires are so satisfying to us that it is hard to believe that somethings could be better.  God knows we are human, He created us and in our desire to have free will we often make decisions that take us away from the perfection of Jesus.  This is the last week of Lent when some of us have tried to give up some of the earthly passions that we enjoy, from chocolate to maybe something more.  Pray that these things don't come between you and the God that loves you.

On this day
1990  My husband Mark took Aaron to the slot car place where Aaron could run his cars he had been collecting.  I'm guessing Mark wishes he had more or those days with his son.

1917 - America’s first bowling tournament for ladies began in St. Louis, MO. Almost 100 women participated in the event. I bowled for years, how about you?

Parenting
I feel bad for parents that separated themselves from their children and have missed out on all the wonderful things that have gone on in their lives.  Enough said.

Sea of Okhotsk
  • Monbetsu, Hokkaido, Japan - population: 25,000  This is our next port:
  • Monbetsu (紋別市 Monbetsu-shi?) is a city located in Okhotsk SubprefectureHokkaidoJapan; on the Sea of Okhotsk. The name comes from Ainu Mopet (Quiet River). It is often called Okhotsk-Monbetsu to distinguish it from the town of Monbetsu in Hidaka Subprefecture(different kanji, but same reading).
    As of 2008, the city has an estimated population of 25,678 and a population density of 30.9 persons per km² (80.0 persons per sq. mi.). The total area is 830.70 km2 (320.74 sq mi).
    Most of Monbetsu's economy is dedicated to fishing for cold-water species such as crab. The crab from Monbetsu is reputably the best in Japan, and is such a source of town pride that a sculpture of a crab claw nearly 10 m tall was built on the waterfront.
