Started this week with some Pilates. Hoping to stave off those hip replacement, back surgeries and chiropractor visits that come to so many at my age. Nothing is promised, but I can hope! Roll ups!
Get Faith
2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Well two out of three isn't bad. God does give us tools to do His work. Look what he gave Moses - that staff that brought frogs, gnats, flies, rivers of blood, etc. We don't need those things, he gives us the power to help one another and the love of one another to help. A sound mind is truly a gift from God - not bestowed on everyone, but an asset.
On this day
1968 I really don't have too many journals from the 60's but this one brings back some good memories. On this day which was a Tuesday, I picked up my friend Sue and her son Kenny and brought them over to my house (Mom's house on Lesure) for dinner. Later I dropped her off at our friend Nan's place. I am still in touch with both of these old friends, not as much as one lives in California and the other in New Jersey. I wish I could have said more about our visit.
1968 - Students at Howard University students seized an administration building. Youth uprising! Sounds familiar.
Lulebargaz Turkey
Agriculture[edit]
Widely grown crop in Lüleburgaz are sunflower, wheat and corn. Now there are some menu hints!
History[edit]
The ancient name of the city was Bergula; Emperor Theodosius I changed it to Arcadiopolis (Greek: Αρκαδιούπολις) in honour of his son and successor Arcadius.
The city of Arcadiopolis fell to Attila the Hun during his campaign against the Eastern Roman Empire in 443 AD.
The Battle of Arcadiopolis (970) saw Byzantine forces defeat an invading Kievan-Pecheneg-Magyar force who were aiming to capture Constantinople, 100 miles (161 kilometres) to the east.
The Battle of Lule Burgas (1912) was here in the First Balkan War.
As the capital of the Roman province of Europa it had its own bishop, who was noted to a number of important church councils and was noted as an autocephalous archbishopric by the seventh century. It is no longer a residential bishopric, although the Diocese of Arcadiopolis survives as a Roman Catholic titular see.
Sport[edit]
In 2007, a women's football club, the Düvenciler Lisesispor was founded, which played in the Turkish Women's First Football League after promotion from the Second League. The team changed its name to Lüleburgaz 39 Spor and colors from yellow-black to red-green in 2011. The club ended its participation in the league in the 2013-14 season.[3]
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday to Mark B, Mark F and Debbie F!!!
