2 Thessalonians The second letter to the Thessalonians is a follow up. The people of the early church needed to be supported. By the time Paul got back the second time, it seems some backsliding had occurred and he had to reassure them that Christ would return but not until certain things had happened in this world. Reading these two books (5 pages total) gives you a good idea of what the early Christians in Greece were confronted with and Paul's wise (spirit led) advice did to help them. The Bible is best read in context - get a study Bible, it helps.
Get fit
Call me crazy but I love doing the cardiac dancing with Richard first thing in the morning. I understand it is not for everyone - but, I noticed I quit thinking about how physically tired I was after I finished. There is something to say about that. Yeah, I could have run 5 miles (in my dreams) but dancing to oldies in my living room is more my style.
On this day
1976 Down at marina - Pete was building the head in the Sport Fisherman. It had to be mahogany which is very heavy so a balance had to be found in both sides of the boat or it made for a really bad ride and look. We were saved by Pat & Pam stopping by so we went up to Metro and joined more friends, Jim and Sharon, Phil & Donna, Jack & Di. The we went up the Clinton River to Kirk's party with Purdy, Ed & Barb, Dick, Beaver and Chuck & Diane. We drank way too much in those days, I have foggy memories of this day. But I do remember all of those mentioned. Except maybe Chuck and Diane? Darn. Good times, if you can remember them.
1976 - In Toronto, Canada, the CN Tower opened to the public. The official opening date is listed as October 1, 1976. It was the world's tallest free-standing stucture and the world's tallest tower until 2010. Hey! I remember this!!

Thessaloniki is home of a number of festivals and events.[226] The Thessaloniki International Trade Fair is the most important event to be hosted in the city annually, by means of economic development. It was first established in 1926[227] and takes place every year at the 180,000 m2 (1,937,503.88 sq ft) Thessaloniki International Exhibition Center. The event attracts major political attention and it is customary for the Prime Minister of Greece to outline his administration's policies for the next year, during event. Over 250,000 visitors attended the exposition in 2010.[228]The new Art Thessaloniki, is starting first time 29.10. – 1 November 2015 as an international contemporary art fair. The Thessaloniki International Film Festival is established as one of the most important film festivals in Southern Europe,[229] with a number of notable film makers such as Francis Ford Coppola, Faye Dunaway, Catherine Deneuve, Irene Papas and Fatih Akın taking part, and was established in 1960.[230] The Documentary Festival, founded in 1999, has focused on documentaries that explore global social and cultural developments, with many of the films presented being candidates for FIPRESCI and Audience Awards.[231] I feel like I am running out of time to check this place out!
