Christ the King Sunday From John 18:36 "Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not from this world.. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here." Think about your mayor, then your congressman, than your governor, now your President and all the leaders and kings of this earth. It is minuscule compared to Christ's kingdom. Our God rules the universe - all that is and there is no, not any term limit. You want to back the right leader? Pick God - Father Son and Holy Spirit.
On this day
1988 Nicole was three and I used to occasionally sit the boys next door David and Josh. They were over on this day and a favorite thing was to let the kids ham it up for the video camera. I believe this was the day David and Nicole were rock stars doing some David Lee Roth while Josh made toast in the Tyke kitchen. Joe came over later, after school, he was a little older but spent a lot of time here playing as well. Mark got home from work and we took the kids to Toys R Us and LOOKED, then stopped at McDonald's for shakes. How do you spoil your kids? After dinner I was writing Christmas cards - it used to be over a hundred but I have cut back, if I see you, you probably aren't getting a card.
1783 - During the Revolutionary War, the British evacuated New York. New York was their last military position in the U.S. I'm pretty sure they are back I hear that accent all the time on TV.
Newfoundland
Geology[edit]
A large part of the island of Newfoundland is an extension of the Appalachian system.[1] Major bays, peninsulas, river systems and mountain ranges are typically oriented southwest to northeast, parallel to the Appalachians.[11]
The eastern part of the island, (the Avalon Peninsula and Burin Peninsula), is mostly folded sedimentary rocks with some intrusions of igneous rock and was part of southwestern Europe or Northern Africa about 250 million years ago.[1] The oldest rocks are Precambrian. Small remnants of Cambrian and Ordovician rocks occur along the coast. Bell Island in Conception Bay is a good example of gently sloping Ordovician sedimentary rock.[11] The plateau in the Avalon Peninsula averages 250 metres (820 ft) above sea level.[8]
The rest of the island is composed of a great variety of Paleozoic rocks of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic origin. Along the west coast lie the Long Range Mountains, which are formed by an elongated block of the Earth's crust (a horst) which rises to about 600 metres (2,000 ft) above sea level.[8] This part of the island was once part of the eastern margin of continental North America.[1] The island's highest points, the Lewis Hills and Gros Morne are located within this mountain range. To the east is a depression or graben about 30 kilometres (19 mi) wide, which is occupied by Deer Lake and Grand Lake. The main plateau of the central part of the island, which was once the sea bottom of the ancient Iapetus Ocean,[1] has been heavily eroded by water and ice. Steep, solitary rock knobs, called "tolts" in Newfoundland (elsewhere known as inselbergs or monadnocks), which jut 100 metres (330 ft) or more above the generally flat terrain are the remnants of a former higher landscape level.[12] Glaciers which helped shape these tolts left other evidence around Newfoundland. Large blocks of stone called glacial erratics have been left scattered across much of the landscape.[13] The long narrow lakes of the west coast, notably those in Gros Morne National Park resulted from glacial erosion. The lack of good soil on most parts of the island is a result of the scouring effect of glaciers during the most recent ice age.[14] Newfoundland's nickname, "The Rock", is partially a result of the ice ages.
Interesting if you are a fan of geology, or getting on Jeopardy
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday Angelina!!
