Get Faith
Acts 19 chapter 11  "God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that when the handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were brought to the sick, their diseases left them, and the evil spirits came out of them...."     Just as God had helped Moses lift the faith of the people through miraculous signs, so too did he help Paul to confirm his words to the people through healing by God.  It is our faith in the belief of our God that heals us and strengthens us to get better in all things.

On this day
1995  We had quite a clan go for the Scottish Games on this day over to the Ford  Estate.  Andy, Alice , Lindsey, Merri and Danielle came over and along with Mom, Nicole Craig and I and Aaron and Michele we met my cousin Kathy and Aunt Margaret and Aunt Annie, plus Ty and Norma there.  Like I said it was a clan and as you can imagine there are pictures.  We loved that it was almost walking distance from the house as compared to the site it has been in ever since over in Livonia.  I have to admit it is a better venue.  After that we came home, had pizza and then went to Andy and Alice's for a swim.  Now that was a full day!!

1864 - During the U.S. Civil War, Union forces led by Adm. David G. Farragut were led into Mobile Bay, Alabama. Fighting ourselves.

Fairfield Australia
Post-war period, 1940s–1980s[edit]
Rapid population increase after World War II saw the settlement of many ex-service men and European migrants, with Ware Street becoming the new main street, which featured the city's only escalator. The street at that time featured prominent hardwarefurnituremenswear and homeware stores, including a Bing Lee. Large scale Housing Commission development in the 1950s swelled the population to 38,000. The Civic Centre was established in the 1960s in Spencer Street and featured many businesses, including the nearby Civic Hotel. Fairfield Hospital was opened in September 1956 on The Horsley Drive, but was relocated to Prairiewood in 1988.[9]
By 1979, the population had reached 120,000 and the City was becoming one of the larger Local Government Areas in New South Wales. In the early 1980s, Fairfield Forum was opened and Ware Street was shut for traffic, with a pedestrian zone established in its stead with a water fountain imported from Italy being the ornament of the civic area. However, the pedestrian plaza was deemed unsuccessful, despite the annual street parades occurring there, and thus Ware Street once again was open to traffic.[10]  

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday Andre M
