Get Faith
Acts chapter 7 "But filled with the Holy spirit, (Stephen) gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. "Look!" he said, "I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!" The people that Stephen was sharing the Gospel with turned on him and stoned him. In America, I think people are afraid of the police, not God so they will not stone you or harm you for sharing the Gospel. Unfortunately they may, laugh or curse you, walk away in disbelief or in complete disinterest. Both of these groups will miss out on the great gift of salvation, forgiveness and eternal life we, who are believers, receive in Jesus Christ our Savior. Our job of discipleship is not made easy by the disbelief in this world. But we try.

On this day
2016 Was a Wednesday and I was working at CK, the ice cream place. There were three of us in the office, but not always. Carly and Paradise were hired in this year and needed back up, which they both resented. This was the first year I met Carly, she had worked there the year before. This was my first year and I was super surprised at the mood and atmosphere at this seasonal business. The mechanic Louie and I decided I should write a book about the place and call it "Not my Circus, Not My Monkeys." Still thinking about it 3 years later, not much has changed except. oh Carly lives with me.

1789 - Captain William Bligh of the HMS Bounty arrived in Timor in a small boat. You might have seen the movie "Mutiny on the Bounty?"

Bhutan
The northern region of Bhutan consists of an arc of Eastern Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows reaching up to glaciated mountain peaks with an extremely cold climate at the highest elevations. Most peaks in the north are over 7,000 m (23,000 ft) above sea level; the highest point in Bhutan is Gangkhar Puensum at 7,570 metres (24,840 ft), which has the distinction of being the highest unclimbed mountain in the world.^[41] The lowest point, at 98 m (322 ft), is in the valley of Drangme Chhu, where the river crosses the border with India.^[41] Watered by snow-fed rivers, alpine valleys in this region provide pasture for livestock, tended by a sparse population of migratory shepherds.

The Black Mountains in the central region of Bhutan form a watershed between two major river systems: the Mo Chhu and the Drangme Chhu. Peaks in the Black Mountains range between 1,500 and 4,925 m (4,921 and 16,158 ft) above sea level, and fast-flowing rivers have carved out deep gorges in the lower mountain areas. The forests of the central Bhutan mountains consist of Eastern Himalayan subalpine conifer forests in higher elevations and Eastern Himalayan broadleaf forests in lower elevations. Woodlands of the central region provide most of Bhutan's forest production. The Torsa, Raidak, Sankosh, and Manas are the main rivers of Bhutan, flowing through this region. Most of the population lives in the central highlands.

In the south, the Shiwalik Hills are covered with dense Himalayan subtropical broadleaf forests, alluvial lowland river valleys, and mountains up to around 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level. The foothills descend into the subtropical Duars Plain. Most of the Duars is located in India, although a 10 to 15 km (6.2 to 9.3 mi) wide strip extends into Bhutan. The Bhutan Duars is divided into two parts: the northern and the southern Duars.

The northern Duars, which abut the Himalayan foothills, have rugged, sloping terrain and dry, porous soil with dense vegetation and abundant wildlife. The southern Duars has moderately fertile soil, heavy savannah grass, dense, mixed jungle, and freshwater springs. Mountain rivers, fed by either the melting snow or the monsoon rains, empty into the Brahmaputra River in India. Data released by the Ministry of Agriculture showed that the country had a forest cover of 64% as of October 2005.
