Psalm 17:15 "And I --in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness." I was talking to a faithful Christian yesterday about the satisfaction of knowing that this life is not the best to come. He spoke of his disappoint in this place and the people here. We talked about how bad we feel for those who don't have faith and when this life does not fulfill their expectations they have nothing to look forward to. I hope your life is going well and that you lack nothing. I do hope that you have faith to sustain you through times that let you down. God will never let you down, He is, was and will forever be.

Was looking at a site this morning about a 4 minute fat burning work out. It was created by Dr Tabata and worked for Olympic athletes. Google it and see if it works for you. Hey! 4 minutes? C'mon let's try it!
On this day
1986 My days were spent with Nicole, at one year old she was a whole new world of love and joy. I had a neighbor, Linda that had a baby, Denise that was a little older than Nicole and she was over a lot, twice on this day. In between those visits my mom and brother Mark came over. Mom helped me with ironing (never do that anymore) and Mark spent every minute he could with Nicole. He had just had a heart monitor on for a day. I don't know what they found out but in November that same year he had a massive heart attack and died. Apparently they didn't resolve anything.
1621 - The Dutch West India Company received a charter for New Netherlands (now known as New York). The Dutch West India Company was a corporation formed in 1621. It was modeled on the Dutch East India Company, which was set up to trade in the East Indies. This video segment from Dutch New York describes how this new company had a monopoly on trade and set up trading posts on the West Coast of Africa, on the coast of what is now Brazil, in the Caribbean, and along the Hudson River in what is now New York. The company had a military purpose as well, as it was directed to attack ships sailed by enemies of the Dutch Republic. To see this go to this date and pull up history.
