1 Peter chapter 1 ".....Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ by his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." I had to read this a number of times. First to understand and then to grasp the meaning of these wonderful words. What a promise we have. Go ahead read it again.
On this day
1980 It was a different time than today. For a change Christine took this day off - a Monday, that was usually my trick. I was trying to reconcile my friends Charley and Robin (I was a marriage counselor back then, lol). I stopped by and dropped off cigarettes to my brother Mark (they were only $10.00 a carton then). I know! I shouldn't have but like I said it was a different time. I got home and made stuffed cabbage, not something I did often and then cleaned the dining room. It was my pre-fire house - everything is different. It seemed like normal then. How about you? What was your life like in 1980?
1812 - American forces were defeated at the Battle of Queenstown Heights. The British victory effectively ended any further U.S. invasion of Canada. Good!
