If you are looking for an ab workout on line it is difficult to select one - there are millions. When I woke up this morning my lower back felt a little sore. I have been sitting way too much. I pulled out the trusty Abs of Steel video and that worked. We always think of the abs but they are what support the back! Watch some of those videos and get going!
Get Faith
Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." I am at that point in life when I am wondering what God wants me to do next. I have surgery coming up next week so am putting off looking into the things I think would be a good fit for me, but that is not always what God has planned. The study writer suggested "Linger with Him as long as needed, and be patient while waiting. After a time, He'll restore your strength." Perfect advice for me. Find your answers with God.
On this day
1981 My good friend Christine and her husband bought a beer and wine store up on Auburn road. It wasn't anything fancy, just an old building with one aisle up the middle, wooden floors and shelves up to the ceiling with everything from applesauce to Zigzag wrappers. Your one stop shopping. She hired my brother Mark to work there, which is where he was on this Sunday. Very often I would fill in to cover the store. It wasn't bad work, waiting for someone to meander in for a six pack and a loaf of bread. There was a little Tv and an abundance of pop and junk food - oh and micro wave ready meals to fill the day. Thanks Christine! It was an experience.
1981 - The 52 Americans held hostage by Iran for 444 days arrived in the United States and were reunited with their families. And while we lived our quiet mundane lives this happened. Great ending after over a year in captivity. I'm sure there is a book if you are interested. Look for the 444 Day Crises.
Wad Medani Sudan
SUDAN: TIER 2 WATCH LIST
Sudan is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Internal trafficking occurs in Sudan, including in areas outside of the government’s control. Sudanese women and girls, particularly those from rural areas or those who are internally displaced, and labor migrants and refugees are vulnerable to domestic servitude. There are an increasing number of street children from Sudan, South Sudan, Eritrea, and, in some instances, West Africa, some of whom are vulnerable to trafficking, including forced begging. Sudanese girls are vulnerable to sex trafficking in restaurants and brothels. Government security forces recruited and used children as combatants and in support roles. In 2014, an international organization reported four children between the ages of 13 and 15 years were observed in Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) uniforms carrying weapons. Non-governmental armed groups recruited and used children under 17 years old. In 2013, Sudanese children in Darfur and South Sudan were forcibly recruited as child soldiers and used by various armed groups, including the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North. In 2014, the whereabouts of these children could not be confirmed. Artisanal gold mining continued in Darfur without regulation, some of which was undertaken with forced child labor. One advocacy group reported inter-tribal ethnic clashes over control of mines resulted in an increase in the use of child laborers. I am sure there are good things to be found in the Sudan but as I look I find more and more slavery and abuse. Human trafficking is not acceptable, pray for this to find an end.
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! but don't forget those who can't.
