A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
NATIONAL HVAC TECH DAY
It is soooo nice to come home to a cool house during these hot summer days. You walk in from the heat and humidity expecting the cool air to refresh your body – and it’s not cool and the house has a quietness to it that tells you the AC isn’t running. Time to call the AC guy. Today we give a tip of the hat to NATIONAL HVAC TECH DAY and all the folks who come out in the heat or cold to fix and maintain our furnaces and air conditioners. We really can’t thank them enough for the job they do to keep us cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
For Lovers Only
NATIONAL KISSING DAY
The other day was Steal a Kiss Day but today is just plain NATIONAL KISSING DAY. As long as it is permissible, between the smoocher and the smoochee, this is the day to show your affection. Whether, it is your significant other, your reluctant child or your fur baby, pucker up and show some love.
On Today’s Menu…
NATIONAL ONION RINGS DAY
This next one should be celebrated after the last one. NATIONAL ONION RINGS DAY gets us out of the frying pan and into…our mouths with these delicious golden rings of goodness. Everybody knows that one place that has the best onion rings, or, if you have a deep fryer – make your own – and enjoy.
NATIONAL CHOCOLATE ÉCLAIR DAY
Our dessert of the day is truly the definition of decadence. NATIONAL CHOCOLATE ÉCLAIR DAY celebrates the pastry, cream and chocolate masterpiece that only the French could have dreamed up. I have no idea how to even begin to make these, so I might have to find an excuse to go to my favorite bakery – Harter’s, in Arnold, Missouri, and indulge. I hope you do the same.

But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” Romans 10:8-11
