I work out with 5 lb weights when it is the main objective.  I leave them out to remind me and try to do a few reps later in the day as well.  After working in the yard yesterday I realized that some of those arm and back muscles need some strengthening!  Do what you can!!!  soup cans work too for beginners!

1 Chronicles 16:34  "Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!  For His mercy endures forever."  When I pray for help I know the Father will hear me and help me find avenues that lead to what I need.  I have had many doors open lately and am opening them one at a time.  I do give thanks to the Lord, He is soooo good to me.  Ask and you shall be answered. (Often it is not what you want but what you need that you get. Remember the Rolling Stones song?  You don't always get what you want - but if you try sometime-- you get what you need.?  I hope they meant this in a good way.)

On this day
1986  I was working at Quality Picture Frame once or twice a week to pay for our family health insurance.  As much as I hated to be away from my soon to be 1 year old baby it was a gift to someone else in my family.  My Mom and brother Mark came to spend the day with her.  My brother Mark was thrilled to have this child in his life, I will always remember the joy on his face when he saw her.  It was truly a blessing to him and I thank God for that time he had with her.  It is funny, but very often she makes a face, or says something, or likes something and it reminds me of him.  He passed away at 29 later that year.

0313 - Licinius unified the whole of the eastern empire under his own rule. Was a Roman emperor from 308 to 324.  He was a friend to Constantine and the Christians at that time.

Psalm 100:5  "For the Lord is good, His mercy is everlasting and His truth endures to all generations."  Funny how this ties into what I heard a man say on TV this morning.  He said that someone asked him when the Bible was going to move into the 20th century.  The man answered you obviously have not read the Bible (kindly).  The word of God is everlasting and applies to all ages at all times.  Can you imagine changing this, the oldest book, the best selling book of all time to fit the ways of the world now?  Lol.  The man answered him also saying,  this generation of people need to read the Bible and find out what the truth for all generations says to them.

On this day
1985  Nicole was 1 year old and I was blessed to have both of my Moms close by, but I also had a pre teen neighbor girl that loved to come over and play and coddle Nicole so I could get housework done, etc.  Carol was with us on many trips and at home with me a lot.  Extra arms is what you need at that time.  When we went on vacation or to boat races she also was young enough to enjoy Aaron's company in the pool or on the beach.  Adopt a teen program - it should catch on.

1985 - Billy Martin was brought back, for the fourth time, to the position of manager for the New York Yankees. I actually remember this. huh.

Montenegro Sightseeing



This is a walking tour of Kotor called the city walls walk.
This walking city tour of the Old Town of Kotor gives you a great introduction to this UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you are staying in Kotor for couple of hours only, it is providing a wealth of information in a short period of time. If you are staying several days in Kotor, Perast, Tivat, Herceg Novi or other places around the Boka Bay, it is a good starting point in your exploration of the region. Explore Kotor city with local guides and learn about its history, architecture, culture and cuisine.

Worked out with squats, sit ups, arms all with a resistant ring.  My major concern is that I don't lose my strength so I can keep up a long healthy, ABLE lifestyle.  Strengthening your muscles can make falls less damaging as well.  When you are doing leg lifts and balancing it will help to avoid falls in the first place.  Stay motivated!!!

Psalm 145:8-9  "The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.  The Lord is good to all, he has compassion on all he has made."  We are so blessed to have a Father in heaven that looks at us as perfect children of his, much like you look at your own children.  We know they have flaws but that is not what we look at and it is the same with God.  He does have compassion on all He has made and we should follow His example.  Be compassionate today.

On this day
1984  This is an especially good memory.  We were on our honeymoon, at what first brought Mark and I together -- boat racing.  The race didn't go to well for us but it didn't stop us from having a fantastic dinner at LA DE DA restaurant on Key West.  There must of been 20 of us at a long table beside the pool in the gardens with dinner on the Kaisers.  The food was out of this world, but the service of the waiters is what I remember.  They were the most engaging, fun men I have ever been served by.  A very memorable night, with wonderful friends in a perfect location.  Not sure if it is still there, I don't think so - but I will never forget it!

1282 - Villagers in Palermo led a revolt against French rule in Sicily. Must be why it is now part of Italy.

I let Jillian beat me up this morning.  I did as much as I could but watched the whole thing, does that count?  I wanted to see if there were some easier ones toward the end and there were, but I was too tired at that point to do them.  Maybe I will start in the middle next time.

The Gospel of Luke chapter 2.  Sue at church suggested maybe I could write a Christmas play for the children this year and it came to me the other day and I wrote it.  It is based only on the birth in Bethlehem and what the birth of this child means to us and doesn't go into an imagined barn scene with many animals or mention the three wise men.  I intend it to be used as a message of evangelism for the parents as well as the children learning the real Bible text.

 I also heard from a publication this morning that wants to print the poem I sent them.  It is a gift from God that I am only realizing now as a great vehicle to share more writing, for God of course.

On this day
1983  It says that I had bronchitis and went to the doctor for a shot and lost time from work.  It was common for me to get sick this time of year.  At this age in my life and looking back at the pattern I have come to a few conclusions.  First of all - don't smoke.  I did and now have had lung cancer and COPD.  Because of smoking, not eating right, allergies and the wild life, I was actually sick a lot when I was younger.  So, take my advice and take better care of yourself in case you live a long time and want to be healthy for it.  You can thank me.

1983 - Nolan Ryan (Houston Astros) broke a 55-year-old major league baseball record when he struck out his 3,509th batter of his career.   Tis the season!!

Montenegro

There is much anti Christian practice, superstition, paganism and occultism. People will claim to be Serbian or Montenegrin Orthodox believers and will at the same time go to fortune tellers and psychic healers. Ostrog, the most famous monastery in Montenegro claims to have a piece of the original cross, and the monastery in Cetinje claims to have a body part of John the Baptist-people will go on pilgrimages to view these relics thinking that they are earning merit. Many people will not work on imagined "Saints' Days" but disregard the 4th commandment to "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy" by doing all kinds of unnecessary work and completely failing to worship God, thus truly showing that their traditions have made void the Word of God (Matt. 15:6 . . .And {thus} you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.)

Many people were raised during the period of communism and have not heard of the Gospel.

This would be a great place to worship!!!

We are studying Exodus right now in our Bible Study.  We all know the story - the Egyptians had enslaved the Israelite people for 430 years and along comes Moses (sent by God - somewhat unwillingly) to answer God's call to "let my people go!!!"  Have you seen the movie The Ten Commandments?  I'm sure you have.  There is a lot more to this story than meets the eye!  There are more plagues than the movie showed for one thing and I found out today that the things destroyed by the plagues were things that represented the many gods that the Egyptians worshiped.  So much for their ineffective gods, I say.  They should have picked the right horse in the first place.  Great book.

1982  This was a year for resettling and social duty.  Ty had moved in with me after separating from his wife.  We did a little celebrating on this day as his divorce became final.  He might have celebrated more than I did.  I had to go meet a gal that I had from the probation dept.  She was a handful and I couldn't drink with her - in fact I had to check her for alcohol before she got in my car.  We went to Friendly's for ice cream and a chat.

1982 - The British announced that Argentina had surrendered on South Georgia. You can look this up for more information!

Montenegro

Religious belief in Montenegro The Serbian and Montenegrin Orthodox churches (two different denominations) claim to be the religion of the people but this claim is a farce and and a tragedy. The example in Niksic is instructive: The population of the city of Niksic is around 70,000. Around 60% of the population would claim to be "Orthodox." Yet there one main Serbian Orthodox church and a handful of small chapels that regularly hold services, and on any given Lord's Day there will only be around 400 people that attend the whole service in Niksic, and perhaps only 1,000 country-wide out of a population of 677,000. Many who claim to be Montenegrin or Serbian Orthodox have no idea what the Montenegrin or Serbian Orthodox church teaches and have never even been inside a Montenegrin or Serbian Orthodox church building.

This is a sad bit of information for us Christians, I will print more of this tomorrow.

Psalm 25:9  "He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way."  If you are wondering how you can tap into this information get it via the Bible or contact a Pastor or Priest - whatever you prefer.  Very often we need a guide to lead us to the source of our knowledge - God. 

On this day
1981  I have always been a very organized, systematic - OCD personality.  I have a plan for every day of the week.  This day was a Saturday.  When I worked and was alone I cleaned house on Saturdays.  When I had a few people living with me - we cleaned on Tuesday after work.  After house work on this day I contacted the carpenter that was rebuilding my house after 1/2 of it burned down earlier, called my ex boyfriend's Mother Tatjiana, that I dearly loved and then got a call from my other ex husband Don.  It often surprises me how much I can accomplish in a day. Still.  How about you?  Do you plan your day or wait for it to happen on it's own?

Psalm 27:11  "Tell me what to do, O Lord..."  Do you sometimes feel like you would like God to just give you the answer?  Me too.  He didn't create us to be mindless, but to act and do the right thing and remember who gave us that ability.  Look at all the other animals on this earth.  How do you explain the simplicity of their lives and the commanding presence of humans on earth?  We don't always use what the Lord gave us wisely.  Make today be the catapult for YOU deciding what the Lord would tell you to do.

On this day

1980  I worked at Quality, billing all day and then went home and had a quiet evening with my Mom and step dad, Bob.  What is unusual is that they were staying in this house that I live in now while they waited for their house to start being built and Mom retiring.  They sold their beautiful house in Royal Oak and moved in with me for a short while.  My lifestyle was not conducive to living with them - I was VERY social and they were home bodies.  Bob did a lot of helpful work around the house for me and I appreciated it.  Maybe why I spent the evening home with them.  He went up to Gaylord where their house was being built as soon as there was a roof over the house and helped in the building.  Mom stayed on with me.  It wasn't the last time she lived here.

Infrastructure[edit]

Main article: Transport in Montenegro

The Montenegrin road infrastructure is not yet at Western European standards. Despite an extensive road network, no roads are built to full motorwaystandards. Construction of new motorways is considered a national priority, as they are important for uniform regional economic development and the development of Montenegro as an attractive tourist destination.

Current European routes that pass through Montenegro are E65 and E80.

The backbone of the Montenegrin rail network is the Belgrade – Bar railway. This railway intersects with Nikšić – Tirana (Albania) at Podgorica; however, it is not used for passenger service.

Đurđevića Tara Bridge

Podgorica Airport

Montenegro has two international airports, Podgorica Airport and Tivat Airport. The two airports served 1.1 million passengers in 2008. Montenegro Airlines is the flag carrier of Montenegro.

The Port of Bar is Montenegro's main seaport. Initially built in 1906, the port was almost completely destroyed during World War II, with reconstruction beginning in 1950. Today, it is equipped to handle over 5 million tons of cargo annually, though the breakup of the former Yugoslavia and the size of the Montenegrin industrial sector has resulted in the port operating at a loss and well below capacity for several years. The reconstruction of the Belgrade-Bar railway and the proposed Belgrade-Bar motorway are expected to bring the port back up to capacity.  I, personally would not like to ride the train over that bridge anyway!

Psalm 29:11  "He will give his people strength,  He will bless them with peace."  It is hard to believe this when you don't feel well or especially a debilitating illness.  But afterward when you are back on your feet, you realize, He did pull you through - gave you strength and the peace that feeling well brings.  Our God is awesome in caring for us and rewarding us with a future life with him when we leave this place.  My hope IS in the Lord.

On this day
1978  My brother Mark and I painted the living room, here in the house where I still live.  I can't tell you how many times it has been painted since, 40 years later.  I do know that the bathroom needs to be painted - soon.  It actually needs a complete make over, but not happening any time soon.  Have you lived in a house for quite a few years?  The first time you paint your new house it is a feeling of ownership, then a few times after that maybe you just need a change or some damage has occurred.  I am at the point of oh dang, I gotta paint the bathroom again.  I have lost my enthusiasm for home decor.  Where is my brother Mark when I need him?  I wonder if you have to redecorate in Heaven?

Economy[edit]

Main article: Economy of Montenegro

Roads of Montenegro in service and two planned: red - Bar–Boljare highway , blue - Adriatic–Ionian motorway

Montenegro uses the Euro as its national currency.

The economy of Montenegro is mostly service-based and is in late transition to a market economy. According to the International Monetary Fund, the nominal GDP of Montenegro was $4.114 billion in 2009. The GDP PPP for 2009 was $6.590 billion, or $10,527 per capita.^[51] According to Eurostat data, the Montenegrin GDP per capita stood at 41% of the EU average in 2010.^[52] The Central Bank of Montenegro is not part of the euro system but the country is "euroised", using the euro unilaterally as its currency.

GDP grew at 10.7% in 2007 and 7.5% in 2008.^[51] The country entered a recession in 2008 as a part of the global recession, with GDP contracting by 4%. However, Montenegro remained a target for foreign investment, the only country in the Balkans to increase its amount of direct foreign investment.^[53] The country exited the recession in mid-2010, with GDP growth at around 0.5%.^[54] However, the significant dependence of the Montenegrin economy on foreign direct investment leaves it susceptible to external shocks and a high export/import trade deficit.

In 2007, the service sector made up 72.4% of GDP, with industry and agriculture making up the rest at 17.6% and 10%, respectively.^[55] There are 50,000 farming households in Montenegro that rely on agriculture to fill the family budget.^[56]

Montenegro

Internationally, Montenegro borders Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo,^[a] and Albania. It lies between latitudes 41° and 44°N, and longitudes 18° and 21°E.

Montenegro ranges from high peaks along its borders with Serbia, Kosovo,^[a] and Albania, a segment of the Karst of the western Balkan Peninsula, to a narrow coastal plain that is only 1.5 to 6 kilometres (1 to 4 miles) wide. The plain stops abruptly in the north, where Mount Lovćen and Mount Orjen plunge into the inlet of the Bay of Kotor.

Montenegro's large Karst region lies generally at elevations of 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) above sea level; some parts, however, rise to 2,000 m (6,560 ft), such as Mount Orjen (1,894 m or 6,214 ft), the highest massif among the coastal limestone ranges. The Zeta River valley, at an elevation of 500 m (1,600 ft), is the lowest segment.

The mountains of Montenegro include some of the most rugged terrain in Europe, averaging more than 2,000 metres (6,600 feet) in elevation. One of the country's notable peaks is Bobotov Kukin the Durmitor mountains, which reaches a height of 2,522 m (8,274 ft). Owing to the hyperhumid climate on their western sides, the Montenegrin mountain ranges were among the most ice-eroded parts of the Balkan Peninsula during the last glacial period.  Beautiful country!!

Euro-Atlantic integration in the 21st century[edit]

Montenegrin Prime Minister Duško Marković with NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenbergin Washington D.C. after Montenegro's accession to the alliance on 5 June 2017.

On 12 July 2011, the Parliament of Montenegro passed the Law on the Status of the Descendants of the Petrović Njegoš Dynasty that rehabilitated the Royal House of Montenegro and recognized limited symbolic roles within the constitutional framework of the republic.

In 2015, the investigative journalists' network OCCRP named Montenegro's long-time President and Prime Minister Milo Đukanović 'Person of the Year in Organized Crime'.^[27] The extent of Đukanović's corruption led to street demonstrations and calls for his removal.^[28][29]

In October 2016, for the day of the parliamentary election, a coup d'état was prepared by a group of persons that included leaders of the Montenegrin opposition, Serbian nationals and Russian agents; the coup was prevented.^[30] In 2017, fourteen people, including two Russian nationals and two Montenegrin opposition leaders, Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević, were indicted for their alleged roles in the coup attempt on charges such as "preparing a conspiracy against the constitutional order and the security of Montenegro" and an "attempted terrorist act."^[31]

In June 2017, Montenegro formally became a member of NATO, an eventuality that had been supported and opposed by approximately same share of the country′s population^[32] and had triggered a promise of retaliatory actions on the part of Russia′s government.^[33][34][35]

Since 2012, Montenegro is in negotiations with the EU. The view to acceding by 2022^[36] was revised to 2025.^{[37]  Well here is an update on the situation and it looks promising!}
