Did some dancing with Rita this morning, nothing like a little salsa to get you going!
Get Faith
Psalm 18:35 "You have also given me the shield of Your salvation. Your right hand has held me up."
When I read something from the old testament I am always surprised when I hear the Gospel message. The truth is that Christ is one with God and has been present since the beginning. King David did write the psalms and for good reason needed God's salvation and protection and was the ancient relative of Jesus' earthly family. So, to read in this psalm that the shield, which I think is Jesus, to protect our eternal life with God AND that His "right hand" which is also a reference to Jesus I am no longer surprised. God has set our right to heaven in a promise through our Lord and Saviour Jesus the Christ. Good news for today.
On this day
1982 Was a Sunday and a strange mix of people went to Pat and Pam's house. Andy called, he was up in St Helen, which explains why Alice came over and with Linda and I went to the Hylands (not sure which house this was at). Don Schwartz, Rich (Bolger) from SCS Court I think and Ty came with kids. I am thinking they were Sandy Black's kids that Ty brought. I know this was just prior to Linda moving to Texas and I see that we spent almost every day together. Pat had initiated this whole thing by stopping by my house in the morning. Sure would like to hear from you if you remember this day! Oh, I had quit smoking so was probably not my normal sweet self. lol.
1982 - Scott Fahlman became the first person to use :-) in an online message. Wow! This is huge! did you know that this happened in 1982?
Fresno
This vibrant and culturally diverse area of retail businesses and residences experienced a renewal after a significant decline in the late 1960s and 1970s.[citation needed] After decades of neglect and suburban flight, the neighborhood revival followed the re-opening of the Tower Theatre in the late 1970s, which at that time showed second and third run movies, along with classic films. Roger Rocka's Dinner Theater & Good Company Players also opened nearby in 1978,[35] at Olive and Wishon Avenues. Fresno native Audra McDonald performed in the leading roles of Evita and The Wiz at the theater while she was a high school student. McDonald subsequently became a leading performer on Broadway in New York City and a Tony award-winning actress. Also in the Tower District is Good Company Players' 2nd Space Theatre.
The Tower District has become a hub for community events such as Jamaica My Weekend, Mardi Gras in February, Gay Pride Parade, car shows, A Taste of The Tower, Halloween in the Tower, and the Farmer's Market opened on the North-West Corner of Olive and Van Ness.
The neighborhood features restaurants, live theater and nightclubs, as well as several independent shops and bookstores, currently operating on or near Olive Avenue, and all within a few hundred feet of each other. Since renewal, the Tower District has become an attractive area for restaurant and other local businesses. Today, the Tower District is also known as the center of Fresno's LGBT and hipster Communities.;[36] Additionally, Tower District is also known as the center of Fresno's local punk/goth/deathrock and heavy metal community.[citation needed]
The area is also known for its early twentieth century homes, many of which have been restored in recent decades. The area includes many California Bungalow and American Craftsman style homes, Spanish Colonial Revival Style architecture, Mediterranean Revival Style architecture, Mission Revival Style architecture, and many Storybook houses designed by Fresno architects, Hilliard, Taylor & Wheeler. The residential architecture of the Tower District contrasts with the newer areas of tract homes urban sprawl in north and east areas of Fresno. Sounds like a lot of opportunities for fun to me! The history sounds vaguely familiar as a city that re invented itself!
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!
