I caught up on a lot of yard work yesterday that had been overlooked all summer, which was great exercise! Today my back, arms, legs and especially my hands can attest to the exercise from yesterday. Today Nicole and I will dig a hole, set in a board and cement it in to possibly fend off critters taking up home for the winter under my house. This should be enough exercise for today, but because it is so beautiful, maybe a walk later, if I'm able. How about you? Find something to do!!
Get Faith
2 Chronicles 6:12-21 Tells us about the huge, beautiful temple that Solomon had built to glorify God. Solomon (in his wisdom) knew "The highest heavens....cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built." I have heard many say that they don't need to go to church to believe in God, and that's true. What our churches are for is celebrating our faith with one another and to gather together in prayer to a God that is huge, everywhere and all knowing. It is a place to establish learning and fellowship with others who want to share our love for God.
On this day
2001 - Nicole was at school decorating for homecoming and I was at home plastering and painting the dining room. Does it ever end? I just had a friend do some plastering and painting in the dining room last week. (Notice I had someone else do it this time.)
1863 - The first Turkish bath was opened in Brooklyn, NY, by Dr. Charles Shepard. Was it only for Turks? How long had they gone without a bath?
Suriname
Originally inhabited by a number of indigenous tribes, Suriname was explored and contested by European powers before coming under Dutchrule in the late 17th century. In 1954, the country became one of the constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. On 25 November 1975, the country of Suriname left the Kingdom of the Netherlands to become an independent state, nonetheless maintaining close economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties to its former colonizer.
Suriname is considered to be a culturally Caribbean country, and is a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). While Dutch is the official language of government, business, media, and education,[3] Sranan, an English-based creole language, is a widely used lingua franca. Suriname is the only territory outside Europe where Dutch is spoken by a majority of the population. The people of Suriname are among the most diverse in the world, spanning a multitude of ethnic, religious, and linguistic groups. With this kind of diversity I can't wait to look at the cuisine! Too bad Nicole didn't read this yesterday she could have won at Trivia.
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday to Diane and Aimee!
