Get Fit

Bad habits are our enemies because they hinder us from being the person we want to be. Joyce Meyer http://fitbodybuzz.com/this-stopping-you-losing-weight/  We all have these -- the first step is to get started fighting back!  eat right, get enough sleep and exercise!!  You can do it!

Get Faith

Genesis 4:1 "...and she conceived....and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord."  This was about Eve, the first mother, the first woman to go through child birth.  Can you imagine in that primitive time what she must have wondered and feared?  There was no one for her to ask "how"?  She was the first and we all know how much help men are at that time.

On this day

1998 - This day was Easter and Nicole had to acolyte at the 7AM service.  We had breakfast at church after that, Andy and Alice and Mom were with us too.  Nicole and I went over to Grandma and Grandpa McCarthy's for a while and then came home and made dinner.  The most remarkable thing is that it was 70 degrees and beautiful.  All the kids were here, Aaron, Merri, Lindsey and Nicole, a great day for driveway basketball.

1204 - The Fourth Crusade sacked Constantinople. Was this a war or a football game?

Parenting

The four kids mentioned above were all very fit, thin and active.  They loved to be outside and whatever game they could come up with.  Now they are all young adults.  Merri and Lindsey run marathons, Aaron has 3 children which I'm sure keep him pretty active and Nicole runs a summer camp for kids and activities all year.  Start your children off on good healthy choices and chances are they will stay that way through their lives.

Prince Albert Canada

Prince Albert is situated on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River, with rich agricultural land to the south and the boreal forest to the north. Although Prince Albert is centrally located in Saskatchewan, it is the second most northerly city in the province after Meadow Lake. This physical location has led to the creation of the slogan "Gateway to the North".

After being established as a mission centre, the main impetus for growth was speculation that the Transcontinental Railway would travel north from the Red River Valley along Hind's fertile belt through to Edmonton.^[31] When the Canadian Pacific Railway chose a more southerly route, Prince Albert's growth collapsed:^[32]

By 1914, Prince Albert had become the terminus of four railway branch lines. However, neither the Hudson Bay and Pacific or the Canadian Northern had started any line to the north. In all, the city had not become the great gateway to north as it had planned.
