Acts chapter 10 "Then Peter bean to speak to them: "I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.... Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." This began as Cornelius recounted being advised by an angel to seek out Peter. God was looking out for him, He wanted him to be saved by knowing that Jesus was his Son and that by believing in him he would be forgiven and saved. I like the inclusiveness of this message - that ALL who go to him in the name of Jesus Christ can be forgiven and saved to eternal life with the Father. What a powerful message!
On this day
1988 It was a Monday and says that we went out to Dave and Roses' Mom's place. We went out on the boat with the kids. I remember lots of days out on the company Four Winns boats but I have no memory of this day at their Mom's place. They had not been our neighbors for very long but we had some great family time with them. Aaron was 10, Nicole was 3, their son David was maybe 6 and Josh was maybe 2. Even with the big age spread they had the best times together - and Dave and Rose were much younger than Mark and I. We were great neighbors and great friends that made great memories together. Thirty years later they are all grown up and making their own friends and families memories.
1787 - Edward Gibbon completed "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." It was published the following May. I'm sure this was a well read book - I have heard of it. hmm maybe.
Bhutan
Road[edit]
The Lateral Road is Bhutan's primary east–west corridor, connecting Phuentsholing in the southwest to Trashigang in the east. In between, the Lateral Road runs directly through Wangdue Phodrang, Trongsa and other population centres. The Lateral Road also has spurs connecting to the capital Thimphu and other major population centres such as Paro and Punakha. As with other roads in Bhutan, the Lateral Road presents serious safety concerns due to pavement conditions, sheer drops, hairpin turns, weather and landslides.[120][121][122]
Since 2014, road widening has been a priority across Bhutan, in particular for the North-East-West highway from Trashigang to Dochula. The widening project is expected to be completed by the end of 2017 and will make road travel across the country substantially faster and more efficient. In addition, it is projected that the improved road conditions will encourage more tourism in the more inaccessible eastern region of Bhutan.[123][124][125] Currently, the road conditions appear to be deterring tourists from visiting Bhutan due to the increased instances of road blocks, landslides and dust disruption caused by the widening project.[126]
I think I have seen pictures of these roads - they look more like a thrill ride at Disney World
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy birthday Celina!!!
