I worked out with the resistance band today. You can do legs, arms, back, shoulders and well everything. Gives a little extra umph to your squats and sit ups.
Get Faith
Colossians 3:23-24 "Whatever your task, put yourselves into it, as done for the Lord and not for your masters, since you know that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you serve the Lord Christ." Many stories in the Bible tell about being a good servant to your masters (bosses). We did a Bible study at church awhile back on a book - God at Work. It talked about being respectful, and how it is honorable to be a good worker, to be honest and trustworthy. It reflects what you know of your righteous God and who you are as a Christian.
On this day
2014 - It was a day of home coming. The group from our church, real travelers, arrived home from Israel. That would be my next choice for an oversea trip. And, Nicole came home from Boyne, entirely different agendas for traveling, but still worthwhile.
1454 - Amerigo Vespucci was born in Florence, Italy. Matthias Ringmann, a German mapmaker, named the American continent in his honor. Wow, that's kind of random isn't it?
Parenting
Have you taught your children good work ethics? I, personally think that the best way to do that is to show them your work ethics. If you come home and describe your day as being boring and how you wiled away the time doing nothing, and helped yourself to company stuff like stamps, automotive supplies, office supplies etc, what are you teaching them? If you speak disrespectfully of your employer (and sometime it is hard not to) do you encourage a behavior in them? You are the best example for your children's success.
The Sea of Okhotsk
History[edit]
Russian explorers Ivan Moskvitin and Vassili Poyarkov were the first Europeans to visit the Sea of Okhotsk (and, probably, the island of Sakhalin[3]) in the 1640s. The Dutch captain Maarten Gerritsz Vries in the Breskens entered the Sea of Okhotsk from the south-east in 1643, and charted parts of the Sakhalin coast and Kurile Islands, but failed to realize that either Sakhalin or Hokkaido are islands.
The first and foremost Russian settlement on the shore was the port of Okhotsk, which relinquished commercial supremacy to Ayan in the 1840s. TheRussian-American Company all but monopolized the commercial navigation of the sea in the first half of the 19th century.
The Second Kamchatka Expedition under Vitus Bering systematically mapped the entire coast of the sea, starting in 1733. Jean-François de La Pérouse and William Robert Broughton were the first non-Russian European navigators known to have passed through these waters other than Maarten Gerritsz Vries. Ivan Krusenstern explored the eastern coast of Sakhalin in 1805. Mamiya Rinzō and Gennady Nevelskoy determined that the Sakhalin was indeed an island separated from the mainland by a narrow strait. The first detailed summary of the hydrology of the Okhotsk sea was prepared and published by Stepan Makarov in 1894. WE are learning all this from our comfortable staterooms on our cruise.
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!
