Did abs and arms again today because nothing hurt after yesterday. It goes back and forth from the chair with the arm weights to the floor for ab workout. The hardest part for me is getting up and down as fast as she does.
Get Faith
John 3:17 "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." This is the verse after 3:16 that defines our faith "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." This saving is not for this world, this time. It is for your eternal life/time. Can it help here on this planet? sure! but it doesn't go well does it? We have proven time and again that OUR egos and OUR ways are more important to us than how Jesus tried to tell us how to live. The Son did not come to condemn, he didn't have to, we do it ourselves. The Good News is God forgives us those sins here on this planet so that we can have eternal life with Him.
On this day
1976 How much time do we spend shuffling cars around? I followed Pete to the dealership to drop off his car, he dropped me off at work and then later that day we went to pick up his car and I went home. The drive time added at least an hour and a half to traffic time. Occasionally, it can cause a lot of trouble. I had to let Liliya go from her job because she was an hour late to work because she drove her husband to work and then had to leave an hour and a half later to pick him up. I hope he makes good money at his job. (There were other deciding factors.) I use my time in traffic to pray it keeps me from swearing at the other drivers.
1733 - John Winthrop was granted the first honorary Doctor of Law Degree given by Harvard College in Cambridge, MA. OH! great the first lawyer! For all those car cases!
Dalap-Uliga-Djarrit Marshall Islands
Japanese mandate[edit]
Under German control, and even before then, Japanese traders and fishermen from time to time visited the Marshall Islands, although contact with the islanders was irregular. After the Meiji Restoration (1868), the Japanese government adopted a policy of turning the Japanese Empire into a great economic and military power in East Asia.
In 1914, Japan joined the Entente during World War I and captured various German Empire colonies, including several in Micronesia. On September 29, 1914, Japanese troops occupied the Enewetak Atoll, and on September 30, 1914, the Jaluit Atoll, the administrative centre of the Marshall Islands.[24] After the war, on June 28, 1919, Germany signed (under protest) the Treaty of Versailles. It renounced all of its Pacific possessions,[25] including the Marshall Islands. On December 17, 1920, the Council of the League of Nations approved the South Pacific Mandate for Japan to take over all former German colonies in the Pacific Ocean located north of the Equator.[24] The Administrative Centre of the Marshall Islands archipelago remained Jaluit.
The German Empire had primarily economic interests in Micronesia. The Japanese interests were in land. Despite the Marshalls' small area and few resources, the absorption of the territory by Japan would to some extent alleviate Japan's problem of an increasing population with a diminishing amount of available land to house it.[26] During its years of colonial rule, Japan moved more than 1,000 Japanese to the Marshall Islands although they never outnumbered the indigenous peoples as they did in the Mariana Islands and Palau.
The Japanese enlarged administration and appointed local leaders, which weakened the authority of local traditional leaders. Japan also tried to change the social organization in the islands from matrilineality to the Japanese patriarchal system, but with no success.[26] Moreover, during the 1930s, one third of all land up to the high water level was declared the property of the Japanese government. Before Japan banned foreign traders on the archipelago, the activities of Catholic and Protestant missionaries were allowed.[26]
Indigenous people were educated in Japanese schools, and studied the Japanese language and Japanese culture. This policy was the government strategy not only in the Marshall Islands, but on all the other mandated territories in Micronesia. On March 27, 1933, Japan gave notice of withdrawal from the League of Nations,[27][28] but continued to manage the islands, and in the late 1930s began building air bases on several atolls. The Marshall Islands were in an important geographic position, being the easternmost point in Japan's defensive ring at the beginning of World War II.[26][29]
I can't imagine a country going through Spanish - German - now Japanese language changes!!!
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!
