2 Corinthians chapter 1 "To the Church of God that is in Corinth...Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction......." Paul went to Corinth and shared the Gospel with the people so they could inherit the love and consolation - the caring and strengthening we get from our God. This is a great gift to us - the forgiveness of our sins and the promise of life everlasting with Jesus who made this possible. May the Holy Spirit abide with you today and give you greater understanding for your faith.
On this day
2012 I had a houseful this morning, Emilio and his friend Jeff were here, Nicole and Mom and I made breakfast. Emilio borrowed my car to make an appointment he needed to get to and when he got back I took him and Jeff to their apartment on Jefferson by Belle Isle. Mom, Nicole and I had dinner later. Waynette called later, she had been at my house the day before when we went to Rojo to celebrate her birthday but ended up in the hospital on this day. My house has always been a beehive of activity. I like it.
1587 - Virginia Dare became the first child to be born on American soil of English parents. The colony that is now Roanoke Island, NC, mysteriously vanished. Do those two things have anything to do with each other?
Australia Cuisine
Alcohol[edit]
The Australian wine Industry is the fifth largest exporter of wine around the world, with 760 million litres a year to a large international export market and contributes $5.5 billion per annum to the nation's economy. Australians consume over 530 million litres annually with a per capita consumption of about 30 litres – 50% white table wine, 35% red table wine.[23] Wine is produced in every state, with more than 60 designated wine regions totalling approximately 160,000 hectares. Australia's wine regions are mainly in the southern, cooler parts of the country, in South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia. Amongst the most famous wine districts are the Hunter Region, Margaret River, Yarra Valley, and Barossa Valley and among the best known wine producers are Penfolds, Rosemount Estate, Wynns Coonawarra Estate and Lindeman's.[24]
Beer in Australia has been popular since colonial times. James Squire is considered to have founded Australia's first commercial brewery in 1798 and the Cascade Brewery in Hobart, Tasmania, has been operating since the early 19th century. Since the 1970s, Australian beers have become increasingly popular globally - with Fosters lager being an iconic export brand. However, Fosters is not a large seller on the local market, with alternatives such as Victoria Bitter & Carlton Draught outselling the popular export. Craft beer is popular, as well as distinctive products from smaller breweries such as Coopers and Little Creatures.[25]
Rum served as a currency during the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Australia when metallic currency was in short supply.[26] I like their wine! and the beer!
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!
