I had to laugh yesterday when I read this in the newspaper.
"I am sure of this much:
When you fall down get up.
The minor planet Pluto is now named
134340 or 1340340
.
The science teachers in school will be excited
to teach that to their students.
Some sources on the internet say
the number is 134340 and some say 1340340.
What confusion!
Yesterday I was riding my bicycle to put 2 bills in the mailbox.
One needed to be mailed right away.
I did not want to drive my car just a few blocks.
It might have been the first time this year
I got out the bicycle to ride it.
I fell off the bicycle on the way.
I stopped too quickly looking around for cars in the street.
Next thing I knew I was down in the street.
Good thing no cars were coming.
I'm too old to fall off a bicycle.
I skinned up the palms of my hands just a little.
They are fine this morning.
I looked around to see if someone saw me fall.
One girl in the neighborhood might have seen the event.
I was embarrassed.
Can't even ride a bicycle.
I just shake my head.
I got the search for
Swordfish
on my
Sudoku program
working yesterday.
I had the information in the program.
I just did not print it out.
It was the values of what I called x, y and z
with one added to each.
I also had the words "row" and "column" flipped.
There are 9 rows and 9 columns in Sudoku.
I was so close to displaying something useful.
that he who has begun the good work in you
will carry it through to completion,
right up to the day of Christ Jesus."

Don't give up.

Jesus said to them:
What a blessing to receive!
"Thus it is written
that the Messiah must suffer and
rise from the dead on the 3rd day.
In his name,
penance for the remission of sins
is to be preached to all the nations,
beginning at Jerusalem.
You are witnesses of this.
See, I send down upon you
the promise of my Father.
Remain here in the city
until you are clothed
with power from on high."
Luke 24:46-49
You can have the promise of the Father.
Ask Jesus for this blessing today.

"Make no mistake about it,
Keep up the good work.
I listened to yesterday from
TC

no one makes a fool of God!
A man will reap only what he sows.
If he sows in the field of the flesh,
he will reap a harvest of corruption;

he will reap everlasting life.
Let us not grow weary of doing good;
if we do not relax our efforts,
in due time we shall reap our harvest."

The Lord our God is Lord alone!
Therefore you shall love the Lord your God

Everyone in Nebraska should be happy today
Jesus said,
Where is your heart?
we won our first
football game
of the season yesterday.
We got it done.
I tried to videotape the first half,
but my VCR did not cooperate.
I was out driving around during the game.
It is strangely quiet on the streets of Omaha.
"Do not lay up for yourselves an earthly treasure.
Moths and rust corrode;

nor thieves break in and steal.
Remember, where your treasure is,
there your heart is also."

"Let me say this much:
Give to others.
He who sows sparingly will reap sparingly,
and he who sows bountifully will reap bountifully.

he has inwardly decided;

for God loves a cheerful giver.
God can multiply his favors among you
so that you may always have enough of everything
and even a surplus for good works..."
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
Do it gladly.
Give to the Lord.
Give of your time and money.
God will bless you.
