Is this you?Get Faith
Colossians 3:7-8 Are you happy with your life, do you feel like you need to make some changes? I as many others changed my life when I had my daughter and settled down. My life changed again when I became a single mom and had to go back to work. My life changed again when my daughter was grown and I am retired. I am a different person and look at life differently. This bible verse is about that realization, that things have to change to be better.
On this day
1992 - It is the last week of lent and in 1992 I went to the Bible Study for lent - just like I did today. Some things change and somethings stay the same.
1992 - Leona Hemsly was sentenced to 4 years in prison for tax evasion.
1992 - White South Africans voted for constitutional reforms that would give legal equality to blacks. Both very positive actions. changes
Parenting
Have you ever caught yourself in a situation where you feel you are being a bad example to your children? You want them to make wise choices, and you feel like you are not. Well, parents are people too and go through situations that they have to rethink. I guess the wise thing is to make that decision so that they see you as the person you have always tried to be.
Sea of Okhotsk
Sightseeing[edit]
Monbetsu is famous for drift ice, a yearly phenomenon which reaches the city every January or February from the northern Sea of Okhotsk. As such, the city has taken on the drift ice as its symbol and has become a center for research on sea ice generally, with an international conference held in February (usually the time of peak sea ice) each year. There is also a yearly Drift Ice Festival that coincides with the Sapporo Snow Festival. The festival features impressive sculptures built out of drift ice along with a large ice maze. Additionally, the Okhotsk Tower is a facility where one can observe sea ice from both high above, and from below the ocean. It is complete with an information center and aquarium. An icebreaker, the Garinko II, departs from nearby and makes regular sightseeing cruises through the drift ice during the winter. Mombetsu is also home to the newly built Drift Ice Museum, which covers all aspects of sea ice and features a sub-zero room and "frozen aquarium" of various fish preserved in ice.
During the summertime, when the sea ice melts, sailors from Russia are a common sight in the city. Some local businesses have banned Russian visitors for their supposed "unruly" behavior, which has led some activists to criticize Monbetsu as a hotbed of racial discrimination.[2] (See also: Ethnic issues in Japan.) hmmm interesting "unruly" Russians, who'd guessed? Let;s go here today!
Enjoy the Day! Make it Memorable!
