Acts chapter 9 "He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" Not many (or any) of us hear the voice of Jesus asking us this question, but possibly many of us are somewhat guilty of this same crime that Saul/Paul was. We use his name in bad ways, or we forget that - love thy neighbor stuff when we don't agree with a persons politics, or driving ability and a lot more. Listen today for that still, small voice that reminds you to be kind, accepting, loving and compassionate. Don't work against Jesus - work with Him. Love will always win out.
On this day
1978 Some days are worse than others. On this day, a Monday, my boss was off sick which always puts stress on the rest of the office staff, (or not). He wasn't really all that involved with the "work" of the office but he could answer the phone if you were busy. I was in a bad mood because my dear boyfriend Pete had gotten home at 3AM and I woke up to fight with him. Later when I got home from work I had a nice restoring phone call with my still, dear friend Pam, and worked on my plants. Ah, revival and those things that calm the nerves. I still find my garden and house plants calming.
1978 - Garfield was in newspapers around the U.S. for the first time. Good ole Garfield!!
Bhutan
Women in government[edit]
Women in Bhutan tend to be less active in politics than men due to customs and different aspects of Bhutan's culture that dictate a woman's role in the household.[64] These customs roll over to a woman's public life and can cause them to be timid and not confident in making their voice heard.[64] This then leads to a limitation of their voice in the government and impacts that they can make. Bhutan, however, has made steps toward equality between the genders by having more girls enrolled in school as well as creating the National Commission for Women and Children (NCWC) in 2004.[65] This program was created with the intention of promoting and protecting both women and children's rights. Bhutan has also recently elected their first female Dzongda, equivalent to a District Attorney, in 2012 and their first female minister in 2013.[65] Minister Dorji Choden is the chair for the National Bhutan Commission for Women and children and believes that this programme can be used to “promote women into more leadership roles” which can then lead to women taking on a more active role in their society.[64] Overall there has also been a gradual increase in women in power with a 68% increase in women representation from 2011 to 2016 election.[65]
