Matthew chapter 5 "Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Everyday is an opportunity to teach the kindness, goodness and justice that Jesus taught us. Everyday gives you a time to act in a way that shows people you are of God, taught by Christ, an opportunity to be an example. Everyday gives you a time to praise and thank your God for your life and how good it is. Today is a good day to start.
On this day
1981 After work I went and picked up Tom, a young man I had as a probationer in the one on one program the court was running. He and his friend were coming to my house to cut the lawn and do some yard work. I am not a hard taskmaster and Tom was my first kid I had in the program. We had a good relationship and I heard he did well after released from the program. They did a good job in the yard and I of course had treats for them. It is the little things you can share that can make a huge difference in someone's life. Be an example.
1847 - William Clayton invented the odometer. Odometer was invented by William Clayton in 1847 while he was crossing the country in a wagon train. He called his invention the Roadometer. Idea: Children could research the different “-ometers,” for example, the speedometer, tachometer and odometer. some people are just forward thinkers.
Nepal
History[edit]
The Kathmandu Valley may have been inhabited as early as 300 BCE, since the oldest known objects in the valley date to a few hundred years BCE. The earliest known inscription is dated 185 CE. The oldest firmly dated building in the earthquake-prone valley is over 2,000 years old. Four stupas around the city of Patan that are said to have been erected by a Charumati, a purported daughter of the Maurya emperor Ashoka, in the third century BCE, attest to the ancient history present within the valley. As with the tales of the Buddha's visit, there is no evidence supporting Ashok's visit, but the stupas probably date to that century. The Licchavis, whose earliest inscriptions date to 464, were the next rulers of the valley and had close ties with the Gupta Empire of India. The Mallas ruled the Kathmandu Valley and the surrounding area from the 12th until the 18th century CE, when the Shah dynasty of the Gorkha Kingdom under Prithvi Narayan Shahconquered the valley as he created present-day Nepal. His victory in the Battle of Kirtipur was the beginning of his conquest of the valley. There are a lot of finger prints on this nation as with all of the others!
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday to Dan, Stephani, Jenny and Tommy!
