August 15, 2019 Thursday#Wordsoflove#Hillcrestmemories#Ahoy!#Bushtucker!

Get Faith
1 Corinthians chapter 13  "If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal."  If I am not telling you things for your faith that build you up and support your love of Christ than I might as well not speak at all.  We are called to share our faith with others - for their good and peace and joy.  If our words are not working, and our actions are not a reflection of Christ's love then we very well may be doing harm to your faith.  If all I say is not based in the love that God sent us in his Son then I'm a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 

On this day
2007  There was a time when I really enjoyed the construction business and how well they would do and get excited about the big jobs they would get.  I mentioned that we had a big haul to Hillcrest on this day.  They were turning the property into condos.   It had been a huge golf course with a big building that they used for weddings and parties.  As a matter of fact my high school graduation party was there.  We had gone to the Shepherds Inn for dinner prior to the dance.  All these years ago and I remember my dress, my date and many details of the party.  But on this day in 2007 - I had the Youth group at church.  Big difference.

1877 - Thomas Edison wrote to the president of the Telegraph Company in Pittsburgh, PA. The letter stated that the word, "hello" would be a more appropriate greeting than "ahoy" when answering the telephone. I found this pretty funny.

Indigenous Australian bush food[edit]

Bush tucker (bushfoods) harvested at Alice Springs Desert Park.
Indigenous Australians have lived off the often unique native flora and fauna of the Australian bush for over 60,000 years.[5] In modern times, this collection of foods and customs has become known as bush tucker.
It is understood that up to 5,000 species of Australian flora and fauna were eaten by Indigenous Australians.[6] Hunting of kangaroowallaby and emuwas common,[7] with other foods widely consumed including bogong mothswitchetty grubslizards and snakes.[8] Bush berries, fruits, and nuts were also used, including the now widely-cultivated macadamia nut, and wild honeys were also exploited.[1] Fish were caught using technologies such as spears, hooks and traps; in some areas, the construction of complex weir systems allowed the development of forms of aquaculture.[9]
Resource availability and dietary make-up varied from region to region and scientific theories of bush tucker plants being spread by hand have recently emerged.[10] Food preparation techniques also varied, however a common cooking technique was for the carcass to be thrown directly on a campfire to be roasted.[11]
Native food sources were used to supplement the colonists' diet following the arrival of the First Fleet in Botany Bay in 1788.[12][13]  YUM!

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy birthday to my cousins Kay and Michelle
