Bible Verse of the Day:
Daniel 9:24-27 (New American Standard Bible)
Seventy Weeks and the Messiah 24"Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.
25"So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.
26"Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.
27"And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."

Today's Celebrations:Happy Birthday to Mary Ridge Caldwell. She shares a birthday with Lucille Ball. On this day in 1945 the U.S. dropped the first atomic bomb in history on Hiroshima. For all you Beatles fans, they released the album "Help!" on this day in 1965.
Random Thoughts: Lucille Ball was a hoot. She could make anyone laugh. There didn't have to be a crude comment to get a chuckle. She just produced good, wholesome fun for the whole family. If you are old enough, you can remember when the whole family would sit around the one tv in the house and everyone would watch the same tv program. If you are under 40 I bet that sounds like that statement came out of the stone age. What ever happened to good clean fun. Everything is so blue anymore it embarrasses us older folks and should embarrass young folks, too.
Lucille Ball did some skits with Harpo Marx that were so hilarious. She could also portray herself as the dim wit to get laughs. But, don't kid yourself. She was one smart cookie.
On the thought of "The Beatles", I never was a groupie of them but they did have some pretty cool music. In the sixties when they came on the scene in America, I was probably in fourth or fifth grade. Music wasn't on the top of my priority list. I was never a groupie of any band. I enjoy music and movies yet bands or actors don't phase me. If I enjoy it, I enjoy it. If I have the opportunity to see someone in person, great! If not, I haven't lost anything in life.
If there were one person or band I would like to meet in person, who would it be? I don't know. Like I said, I am not impressed. There is no politician or religious phenom I would like to sit down and have a cup of coffee with. Am I weird or what?
Well, the third thing on my today's celebrations, It is political. Since it was before my time I don't have to voice an opinion on whether I approve of what they did or not. I think we are all God's children and would love to see the world get along. The dreamer in me, I guess.
As one of God's children, I can pray for world peace, but God has promised it won't happen til Christ comes back again.
Pondering...
til tomorrow,
Vera
