December 1, 2019 Sunday #Remember#Fall/Winter#Tennisanyone?#LaViolencia

Get Faith
Romans 8:31  "What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?"  That is powerful isn't it?  Our God that has created us and everything that was ever on this world, our God who has led us through so much trial and tribulation, our God who entered this world in the body of Jesus Christ and saved us from ourselves - is for us.  Did you ever not believe that?  Of course, we have all had that loss of positivity at one time or another.  When you start doubting again, remember this verse.

On this day
2002  We never know when the seasons change in Michigan, look at this year and all the snow we had on the 11th of November, and then had to clean up leaves when it finally melted.  Back in 2002 and it was a Sunday, after church we cleaned the garage, put the patio furniture away and cleaned up the leaves.  Oh, then we got the Christmas decor down.  Mom came over and had dinner with us, and this might have been the year we took the picture of the three of us that I love. 

Dec 1 Davis Cup Tennis, Paris: Mikhail Youzhny beats Paul-Henri Mathieu 3-6, 2-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 to give Russia 3-2 win over France; only time in event history that a 2-set deficit turned around in a live 5th rubber of a Final.  

Itagui Colombia

20th century

The United States of America's intentions to influence the area (especially the Panama Canal construction and control) led to the separation of the Department of Panama in 1903 and the establishment of it as a nation.[91] The United States paid Colombia $25,000,000 in 1921, seven years after completion of the canal, for redress of President Roosevelt's role in the creation of Panama, and Colombia recognized Panama under the terms of the Thomson–Urrutia Treaty.[92] Colombia and Peru went to war because of territory disputes far in the Amazon basin. The war ended with a peace deal brokered by the League of Nations. The League finally awarded the disputed area to Colombia in June 1934.[93]
The Bogotazo in 1948
Soon after, Colombia achieved some degree of political stability, which was interrupted by a bloody conflict that took place between the late 1940s and the early 1950s, a period known as La Violencia ("The Violence"). Its cause was mainly mounting tensions between the two leading political parties, which subsequently ignited after the assassination of the Liberal presidential candidate Jorge Eliécer Gaitán on 9 April 1948.[94][95] The ensuing riots in Bogotá, known as El Bogotazo, spread throughout the country and claimed the lives of at least 180,000 Colombians.[96]  


Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
