Acts chapter 10 In Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius....He was a devout man who feared God with all his household....One afternoon at about three o'clock he had a vision in which he clearly saw an angel of God....He stared at him in terror and said, "What is it Lord?" He answered, "Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. Now send men to Joppa for a certain Simon who is called Peter." These are all great stories of those days after Christ had risen from the dead and appeared to his people. Now the task was to get the news out to all people of there salvation through Jesus Christ. We still need people to share that news.
PS Did you notice people are terrified when they see angels? What do they look like?
On this day
1984 It was a Saturday and I was home replanting potted plants and cleaning. This time of the year are either - graduation or weddings and an occasional birthday thrown in. This was my cousin Earl's daughter's graduation party. Mark was always at work at the boat store so Andy and Alice came over and picked me up. The McGregor family were well known for their drunken parties, we just don't know when to quit, and it isn't always the guys. But it was on this day - Andy celebrated well with his favorite cousin Earl and Alice or I had to drive home. I come from a Scottish/German ancestry - both of which are well known for consuming large quantities of alcohol. We do have a good time. Christine is married now and I have attended both of her children's graduation parties. Time marches on.
1758 - British and Hanoverian armies defeated the French at Krefeld in Germany. wow lots of countries heard from here.
Bhutan
Economy[edit]
Bhutan's currency is the ngultrum, whose value is fixed to the Indian rupee. The rupee is also accepted as legal tender in the country. Though Bhutan's economy is one of the world's smallest,[90] it has grown rapidly in recent years, by eight percent in 2005 and 14 percent in 2006. In 2007, Bhutan had the second-fastest-growing economy in the world, with an annual economic growth rate of 22.4 percent. This was mainly due to the commissioning of the gigantic Tala Hydroelectric Power Station. As of 2012, Bhutan's per capita income was US$2,420.[91]
Bhutan's economy is based on agriculture, forestry, tourism and the sale of hydroelectric power to India. Agriculture provides the main livelihood for 55.4 percent of the population.[92] Agrarian practices consist largely of subsistence farming and animal husbandry. Handicrafts, particularly weaving and the manufacture of religious art for home altars, are a small cottage industry. A landscape that varies from hilly to ruggedly mountainous has made the building of roads and other infrastructure difficult and expensive.
And yet they seem amazingly peaceful and happy!
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!
