August 15, 2018 Wednesday# Peace#Action#Familynight#Ha Long Bay

Get Faith
Ephesians 4:2-3 "Be humble and gentle.  Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love.  Try always to be led along together by the Holy Spirit and so be at peace with one another."  You gotta love Ephesians, such good direction.  Very often though, difficult to follow.  Set this as an example in your life to try and follow.

Get Fit
Got yard work on the agenda today which should give me some exercise and fresh air - but maybe too hot.  Do what you can.  Have some plan of action everyday!

On this day
1997  When you have kids you have this kind of Friday night.  Brought home Burger King for dinner and rented two movies from Mammoth - The Ghost and The Darkness.  Not the love stories I would have looked for.

1997 - The U.S. Justice Department decided not to prosecute FBI officials in connection with the deadly 1992 Ruby Ridge siege in Idaho. The investigation dealt with an alleged cover-up. Did you think this stuff just started up?  lol

Vietnam


Geography

Vietnam is located on the eastern Indochina Peninsula between the latitudes  and 24°N, and the longitudes 102° and 110°E. It covers a total area of approximately 331,210 km2 (127,881 sq mi),[5] making it almost the size of Germany. The combined length of the country's land boundaries is 4,639 km (2,883 mi), and its coastline is 3,444 km (2,140 mi) long.[5] At its narrowest point in the central Quảng Bình Province, the country is as little as 50 kilometres (31 mi) across, though it widens to around 600 kilometres (370 mi) in the north. Vietnam's land is mostly hilly and densely forested, with level land covering no more than 20%. Mountains account for 40% of the country's land area, and tropical forests cover around 42%.
The northern part of the country consists mostly of highlands and the Red River DeltaPhan Xi Păng, located in Lào Cai Province, is the highest mountain in Vietnam, standing 3,143 m (10,312 ft) high. Southern Vietnam is divided into coastal lowlands, the mountains of the Annamite Range, and extensive forests. Comprising five relatively flat plateaus of basalt soil, the highlands account for 16% of the country's arable land and 22% of its total forested land. The soil in much of southern Vietnam is relatively poor in nutrients.
The Red River Delta in the North, a flat, roughly triangular region covering 15,000 km2 (5,792 sq mi),[95] is smaller but more intensely developed and more densely populated than the Mekong River Delta in the South. Once an inlet of the Gulf of Tonkin, it has been filled in over the millennia by riverine alluvial deposits. The delta, covering about 40,000 km2 (15,444 sq mi), is a low-level plain no more than 3 meters (9.8 ft) above sea level at any point. It is criss-crossed by a maze of rivers and canals, which carry so much sediment that the delta advances 60 to 80 meters (196.9 to 262.5 ft) into the sea every year  I've heard it is a beautiful country.

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday to Kay and Michelle!
