Luke 1:50 "His mercy extends to those who fear (and reverence) him, from generation to generation." Reverence for God might be what the world has lost. For our Father and creator we should revere Him and praise His Holy Name. I cringe when I hear the name of the Lord in vain and usually ask if we are praying when someone says JESUS. It is important for you to respect God, not only for Him - but mainly for yourself. If you hold yourself in higher esteem then the Lord, you may be serving yourself and your own choice of afterlife. God loves you and wants you to love him back and be with him in the next life..
Get Fit
I danced with Richard this morning. The heat (in October?) has me exhausted and finding it hard to breathe. But I tried and you should too!
On this day
1967 I went with Mom to Gerhardt's funeral. I only knew them as friends of the family on Mom's German side. Mom later confessed to me that he had been her first real love, so I knew this funeral meant a little more than putting in time for social sake. He was the only one she ever mentioned that she knew before she met my Dad at 18. He was a friend of cousins and friends with her brother Ted and he looked out for her. It was one of the few social items I knew about her childhood.

Etymology[edit]
"Illinois" is the modern spelling for the early French Catholic missionaries and explorers' name for the Illinois Native Americans, a name that was spelled in many different ways in the early records.[14]
American scholars previously thought the name "Illinois" meant "man" or "men" in the Miami-Illinois language, with the original iliniwek transformed via French into Illinois.[15][16] This etymology is not supported by the Illinois language,[citation needed] as the word for "man" is ireniwa, and plural of "man" is ireniwaki. The name Illiniwek has also been said to mean "tribe of superior men",[17]which is a false etymology. The name "Illinois" derives from the Miami-Illinois verb irenwe·wa - "he speaks the regular way". This was taken into the Ojibwe language, perhaps in the Ottawa dialect, and modified into ilinwe· (pluralized as ilinwe·k). The French borrowed these forms, changing the /we/ ending to spell it as -ois, a transliteration for its pronunciation in French of that time. The current spelling form, Illinois, began to appear in the early 1670s, when French colonists had settled in the western area. The Illinois's name for themselves, as attested in all three of the French missionary-period dictionaries of Illinois, was Inoka, of unknown meaning and unrelated to the other terms.[18][19] This was a little interesting
