Revelation chapter 1 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." We humans only consider the time we have on earth and maybe the time in history that we have been taught and wonder about those years to come and what will be. God has been forever and will never not be. The beginning and the end. John relayed this information in Revelation to give us an idea of what is to come. If our God can make a world that we love and are so in awe of and care so much about - can you imagine what HIS world offers? Our words cannot express, although John tries to explain what the angel told and showed him about our heavenly home, what we have to look forward to. I'm sure it surpasses what we have here - believe.
On this day
1979 It was a Sunday and I put on a roast or something to cook for dinner. Mom, Mark and his friend Keven, came over for dinner in the afternoon. My buddy Doc called after duck hunting and wanted to go to Sindbad's for lunch as usual but I had to decline. Pete's grandmother Xana called me during the day, I never said goodbye to a family. They must have left after dinner because I went and played racquetball later with Diane, Bonnie and Joan. Life has always been busy. I loved racquetball till I taught Nicole how to play.........
1865 - Samuel L. Clemens published "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" under the pen name "Mark Twain" in the New York "Saturday Press." Mine will be Come Get These Memories of the Sixties in 2015.
Colombia
Colombia is ethnically and linguistically diverse, with its rich cultural heritage reflecting influences by various Amerindian civilizations, European settlement, forced African labor, and immigration from Europe and the greater Middle East. Urban centres are concentrated in the Andean highlands and the Caribbean coast.
Colombia has been inhabited by various American Indian peoples since at least 12,000 BCE, including the Muisca, Quimbaya, and the Tairona, along with the Inca Empire that expanded to the southwest of the country. Spaniards arrived in 1499 and by the mid-16th century annexed part of the region, establishing the New Kingdom of Granada, with Santafé de Bogotá as its capital. Independence from Spain was achieved in 1819, but by 1830 the Gran Colombia Federation was dissolved, with what is now Colombia and Panama emerging as the Republic of New Granada. The new sovereign state experimented with federalism as the Granadine Confederation (1858), and then the United States of Colombia (1863), before the Republic of Colombia was finally declared in 1886. Panama seceded in 1903, leading to Colombia's present borders. Beginning in the 1960s, the country suffered from an asymmetric low-intensity armed conflict and political violence, both of which escalated in the 1990s. Since 2005, there has been significant improvement in security, stability, and rule of law.[12] Good to hear instead of what the biased news usually reports.
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!!
