Get Faith
Romans 12:1-2  "Give your bodies to God.  Let them be a living sacrifice, holy - the kind he can accept.  When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask?....Be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think.  Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you."  This is a perfect time, Lent, to realize what in your life is destroying you instead of building you up.  It is a time to return to the Lord because He is our help in times of trouble.  He is our strength to overcome the things in our lives that hold us back from enjoying the wonderful promises that are ours in Christ.  When you have God in your life it makes everything better!  He loves you and wants you back.

On this day
2014  This year was the big snow!  Every morning we woke up and had to clear snow, on this day my neighbor Barb did mine before I got up.  I laid in bed at 7 am and watched her out the window.  Nicole came home and we went to the mall so she could buy me my birthday shoes.  Very often that is her gift to me.  Hey!  they are expensive!  And, it was 4 years ago so we watched the Olympics, we are big fans, well maybe not watch ALL of the cross country, but a lot of it.  We love the skiiers, snowboarders, skaters and the luge.  What do you like?

1564 - The artist Michelanglelo died in Rome. I wonder if  at that time they realized what a great artist they lost.  Check out some Michelangelo today.

Poland
Poland began to form into a recognizable unitary and territorial entity around the middle of the 10th century under the Piast dynasty. Poland's first historically documented ruler, Mieszko I, accepted Christianity with the Baptism of Poland in 966, as the new official religion of his subjects. The bulk of the population converted in the course of the next few centuries. In 1000, Boleslaw the Brave, continuing the policy of his father Mieszko, held a Congress of Gniezno and created the metropolis of Gniezno and the dioceses of KrakówKołobrzeg, and Wrocław. However, the pagan unrest led to the transfer of the capital to Kraków in 1038 by Casimir I the Restorer.[34]  

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday Nicole B!
