Matthew chapter 20 "While Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and said to them on the way, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death; then they will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified; and on the third day he will be raised."" This is a Sunday School lesson in a verse. Do you see yourself in this reading? Which one are you?
On this day
2007 When you work for a company like a concrete crushing plant - you learn things. I learned a lot while working at Clancy's. Did you know that they have to crush broken asphalt on colder days? On warm or hot weather the asphalt will be too soft and not crush easily and even mess up the crusher. March was perfect weather for this purpose and that is what they were doing on this day. When I got home Mom and I went to church for dinner and the Lenten service. Sometimes slow days are the best days.
1804 - The French civil code, the Code Napoleon, was adopted. For the people and by the people?
Carthage Tunisia
Probably some of Hiempsal II's libri punici, that had escaped the fires that consumed Carthage in 146 BC, wound up later in the large royal library of his grandson Juba II(r.25 BC-AD 24).[154] Juba II not only was a Berber king, and husband of Cleopatra's daughter, but also a scholar and author in Greek of no less than nine works.[155] He wrote for the Mediterranean-wide audience then enjoying classical literature. The libri punici inherited from his grandfather surely became useful to him when composing his Libyka, a work on North Africa written in Greek. Unfortunately, only fragments of Libyka survive, mostly from quotations made by other ancient authors.[156] It may have been Juba II who 'discovered' the five-centuries-old 'log book' of Hanno the Navigator, called the Periplus, among library documents saved from fallen Carthage.[157][158][159
This is interesting in that I didn't realize that there "wide audiences then enjoying classical literature. This was during Jesus's lifetime. Wow.Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday John!
