June 8, 2018 Friday#Christlike#doublechin#change#Thessalonians!

Get Faith
Galatians 5 22-26  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.  Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.  Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.  Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Get Fit
You can find so much on health and wellness.  "How to Lose Double Chin in 30 Seconds"  Look it up and you only have to do it twice a day!  What have you got to lose?  Your double chin.

On this day
1998  On this day Aaron, Nicole and I were at the condo in Stuart.  We had moved Grandma and Grandpa down there from St Clair Shores after they sold their house.  We had to get up at 5 AM and drive up to Orlando to catch our flight home. We had a rental car that we had to turn in, we didn't what Grandpa to have to make that drive to Orlando.  It was an adventure and sad at the same time.  When we got to Detroit, Mom picked us up at the airport and brought us home.  I'm glad to remember when Mom could still drive and was comfortable to make the long trip to Metro to get us.  Life throws changes at us all the time, we just have to learn to adjust.

1998 - The National Rifle Association elected Charlton Heston to be its president.  I think I knew this.

Thessaloniki Greece
At the time of the Roman Empire, about 50 A.D., Thessaloniki was also one of the early centers of Christianity; while on his second missionary journey, Paul the Apostle visited this city's chief synagogue on three Sabbaths and sowed the seeds for Thessaloniki's first Christian church. Later, Paul wrote two letters to the new church at Thessaloniki, preserved in the Biblical canon as First and Second Thessalonians. Some scholars hold that the First Epistle to the Thessalonians is the first written book of the New Testament.[36]
In 306 AD, Thessaloniki acquired a patron saint, St. Demetrius, a native of Thessalonica whom Galerius put to death. A basilical church was first built in the 5th century AD dedicated to St. Demetrius.
I love to see where history ties into the history of the Bible.  Here are proofs of St Paul's visit and the letters to the Thessalonians and mention of St Demetrius, an early saint of the church.

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday to Nancy and Phil!
