Revelation chapter 14 "Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion! And with him were one hundred forty-four thousand, who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads." I'm sure John was thrilled for this vision, to see so many followers in heaven, loved and collected by our God and Savior. I know that all numbers mentioned in the bible are meaningful but I can't help but think that after all these years there are many more if we could see what John saw then. And according to our time and lives maybe we would all have baseball caps on with Father and Son named on them, standing in the glow of love and joy singing Holy Holy Holy!!
On this day
1991 I had to work at Quality but Mark was home and he took Nicole to school and had time with her after school. They might have even put the lights up outside. I had to stop afterward at Farmer Jacks for a few things because the next day was Thanksgiving and I was hosting. It was late just like this year. I know what it is like to be a working Mom and the holidays are upon you. The house decorating, the baking, the shopping, church and school activities and special crafts to make with the kids so that all is memorable for them. I think we overdo it sometime - I did much more than my mom did with us kids, but maybe that's the point, we want so much for our family. Enjoy the noise, mess and confusion - keep it in your heart for too soon it is over. I like watching you do it now.
1991 - The UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution that led the way for the establishment of a UN peacekeeping operation in Yugoslavia. How is that working out? There is no more Yugoslavia, it was absorbed by surrounding countries.

The Viceroyalty of New Granada was created in 1717, then temporarily removed, and then re-established in 1739. Its capital was Santa Fé de Bogotá. This Viceroyalty included some other provinces of northwestern South America that had previously been under the jurisdiction of the Viceroyalties of New Spain or Peru and correspond mainly to today's Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. So, Bogotá became one of the principal administrative centers of the Spanish possessions in the New World, along with Lima and Mexico City, though it remained somewhat backward compared to those two cities in several economic and logistical ways.[58][59]
After Great Britain declared war on Spain in 1739, Cartagena quickly became the British forces' top target, but an upset Spanish victory during the War of Jenkins' Ear, a war with Great Britain for economic control of the Caribbean, cemented Spanish dominance in the Caribbean until the Seven Years' War.[50][60]
The 18th-century priest, botanist and mathematician José Celestino Mutis was delegated by Viceroy Antonio Caballero y Góngora to conduct an inventory of the nature of New Granada. Started in 1783, this became known as the Royal Botanical Expedition to New Granada. It classified plants and wildlife, and founded the first astronomical observatory in the city of Santa Fe de Bogotá.[61] In July 1801 the Prussian scientist Alexander von Humboldt reached Santa Fe de Bogotá where he met with Mutis. In addition, historical figures in the process of independence in New Granada emerged from the expedition as the astronomer Francisco José de Caldas, the scientist Francisco Antonio Zea, the zoologist Jorge Tadeo Lozano and the painter Salvador Rizo.[62][63]
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!!
