Get Fit
Cranberries, these are one of the super foods they tell you to eat. It is great for kidney health and can guard against UTI's which are common among the elderly and people with chronic illness. I throw a handful of dried cranberries in my cereal every morning. Another idea is using it with soda or grapefruit juice as a mixer. Sorry, I digress.
Get Faith
2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. The Christians I know have remarkable ability to recover. I can tell you a million references, but suffice it to say they have something extra going for them. When bad things happen, they see God's hand on it and trust it will eventually be alright. What do people do when they don't have this safety net? They take anti depressants, go to therapists, and sometime, in extreme situations take their own lives. I realize these are "some" cases, not all - but why gamble that you will be one that can't handle it? Get some faith. God provides.
The Creed; The second Article; (my belief)
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. All of the stories of Jesus' walk on earth are good to hear, but the only one that matters in all is that he died and God raised Him from the dead, for YOU. If you need to know more, ask.
On this day
2000 Nicole was a freshman in high school. If you have experience you know that no sooner does one sport season finish, but another one starts. Nicole started out in September playing basketball, then went to Volleyball in the winter and now, in March she started soft ball. She was a great short stop and rarely struck out. The coach saw her talent and she was in. I loved softball and had been her assistant coach since she started at 5 on city league. Things change and they have to be allowed to choose for themselves. This was freshman year and she went to practice on this day.
1489 - Catherine Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus, sold her kingdom to Venice. She was the last of the Lusignan dynasty. Wonder what a dynasty went for in those days?
Belarus
In the aftermath of the 1917 Russian Revolution, Belarus declared independence as the Belarusian People's Republic, which was conquered by Soviet Russia. The Socialist Soviet Republic of Byelorussia became a founding constituent republic of the Soviet Union in 1922 and was renamed as the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic (Byelorussian SSR). Belarus lost almost half of its territory to Poland after the Polish–Soviet War of 1919–1921. Much of the borders of Belarus took their modern shape in 1939, when some lands of the Second Polish Republic were reintegrated into it after the Soviet invasion of Poland, and were finalized after World War II.[12][13][14] During WWII, military operations devastated Belarus, which lost about a third of its population and more than half of its economic resources.[15] The republic was redeveloped in the post-war years. In 1945 the Byelorussian SSR became a founding member of the United Nations, along with the Soviet Union and the Ukrainian SSR.[16] This is pretty recent history as Belarus was always run by others and fell under their
stories of history.
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!
