April 8, 2019 Monday #Forgive#Readagoodbook#Hotbed

Get Faith
John chapter 8  "(Jesus said,) Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."  So, unless you are Jesus Christ - do not judge others.  Think first of your short comings and if they will be able to say to you - what about your sin .......  It is hard not to judge someone that you have seen do something wrong but, Jesus will judge them, not you - you have no position to question another's right to the love of Jesus.  And, BTW, Jesus did not judge her either but forgave her with a warning - do not sin again.  Let us work on being more forgiving.

On this day
1985  This is my most favorite year of my life.  I was pregnant with Nicole and when I think back to this year I don't think of anything but pure joy.  It was a high risk pregnancy though, because of my age and because I had a fibroid tumor in the uterus with the baby.  They watched me like a hawk and on this day I was laid up after a busy Easter weekend.  Those were the days when I would pick up a book and read it start to finish and never worry about the world around me.  It changed, I still read but not like before, other things take precedence.  Have you read a good book lately?

1985 - India filed suit against Union Carbide for the Bhopal disaster. Ok this is relevant - but this;

1985 - Phyllis Diller underwent a surgical procedure for permanent eyeliner to eliminate the need for eyelid makeup.   Seriously?  it is in the annals of history?

Yemen

Since 2011, Yemen has been in a state of political crisis starting with street protests against poverty, unemployment, corruption, and president Saleh's plan to amend Yemen's constitution and eliminate the presidential term limit, in effect making him president for life.[26] President Saleh stepped down and the powers of the presidency were transferred to Vice President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, who was formally elected president on 21 February 2012 in a one-man election. The total absence of central government during this transitional process engendered the escalation of the several clashes on-going in the country, like the armed conflict between the Houthis rebels of Ansar Allah militia and the al-Islah forces, as well as the al-Qaeda insurgency. In September 2014, the Houthis took over Sana'a with the help of the ousted president Saleh,[27][28][29] later declaring themselves in control of the country after a coup d'état; Saleh was shot dead by a sniper in Sana'a in December 2017.[30] This resulted in a new civil war and a Saudi Arabian-led military intervention aimed at restoring Hadi's government.[31] At least 56,000 civilians and combatants have been killed in armed violence in Yemen since January 2016.[32] 
Only one of the hot beds of discontent in our world - and the best of us too civilized to do 
anything about it.

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable  Happy birthday Monna !!!
