Matthew chapter 6 "Pray then in this way: Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one" The Lord's prayer is universal, if you are Christian you recite from heart. I have heard stories of those with Alzheimer disease that have lost all memory but still recite this when they hear others saying it. Jesus gave us this prayer - what more do we need to know?
On this day
1999 I have allergies, who doesn't? On this day, a Friday, Nicole and I had had a busy week and I was not feeling well - but, we went to school and work anyway. Mom came over and we went to Andiamo's for dinner. So, if you have a chest thing going on, allergies or whatever - we still need to keep going and we need to eat. Only the very poor or the very rich can lay down and languish in their illnesses. Us middle class have to keep on trudging along - it is what we do. Agreed? Oh and when I got home from dinner I cut the lawn.
1999 - In Milan, Italy, Leonardo de Vinci's "The Last Supper" was put back on display after more than 20 years of restoration work.
Nepal
Culture
Folklore is an integral part of Nepali society. Traditional stories are rooted in the reality of day-to-day life, tales of love, affection and battles as well as demons and ghosts and thus reflect local lifestyles, culture, and beliefs. Many Nepali folktales are enacted through the medium of dance and music.
Most houses in the rural lowlands of Nepal are made up of a tight bamboo framework and walls of a mud and cow-dung mix. These dwellings remain cool in summer and retain warmth in winter. Houses in the hills are usually made of unbaked bricks with thatch or tile roofing. At high elevations construction changes to stone masonry and slate may be used on roofs.
Nepal's flag is the only national flag in the world that is not rectangular in shape.[181] The constitution of Nepal contains instructions for a geometric construction of the flag.[182] According to its official description, the red in the flag stands for victory in war or courage, and is also the colour of the rhododendron, the national flower of Nepal. Red also stands for aggression. The flag's blue border signifies peace. The curved moon on the flag is a symbol of the peaceful and calm nature of Nepali, while the sun represents the aggressiveness of Nepali warriors.
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!
