October 19, 2018 Friday#A quiet place#Yoga#Probation#MLK#Latter Day Saints!

Get Faith
Proverbs 3:24  "You can lie down without fear and enjoy pleasant dreams...." 
Mark 6:31        "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."
What more can you ask for?  An invitation from our God and Savior to nap, rest and pray.  Curl up in a comfortable place with a blanket and a drink of water, read your Bible, maybe to Mark chapter 6 and see the rest of this peaceful thought.  Spend some time with God. 

Get Fit
In keeping with the same peaceful thought above I did AM Yoga.  It does start my day with a sense of physical peace and wellness.

On this day
1983  I had graduated from doing one on one with teenage probationers to Court night which was seeing those who had to report once a month or more.  That was an eye opener.  I learned a lot about reading people - as in truth or lie.  Some came in like they had just come from an office job - dressed to kill and some came in like they had spent the day in bed and just put on clothes over the pajamas.  It was not what it seemed.  I found the harder they went to fool you into thinking they were doing well that maybe they were the ones who had fallen off the bandwagon the worse.  The arms were always covered but if they would comply and show you their arms (for tracks) they might be good or just taking their heroin in a different spot.  I began to realize I was working harder for their good than they were in many cases.

1983 - The U.S. Senate approved a bill establishing a national holiday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. This was a good thing!

Xenia Illinois

By 1839, the Latter Day Saints had founded a utopian city called Nauvoo. Located in Hancock County along the Mississippi River, Nauvoo flourished, and soon rivaled Chicago for the position of the state's largest city. But in 1844, the Latter Day Saint movement founder Joseph Smithwas killed in the Carthage Jail, about 30 miles away from Nauvoo. Following a succession crisis (Latter Day Saints)Brigham Young led most Latter Day Saints out of Illinois in a mass exodus to present-day Utah; after close to six years of rapid development, Nauvoo rapidly declined afterward. This was interesting!!

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday Steve and Tyler!!
