Happy Birthday to…
Zachary Taylor (1784-1850)
Our 12th president’s success in battle as a military leader is what earned him the presidency. He worked to bring the anti-slavery state California into the Union, but his tenure was marred by corrupt officials in his cabinet. He only served 16 months before dying of cholera.
Scott Joplin (1868-1917)
The “King of Ragtime” gave us the Maple Leaf Rag, The Entertainer and several other lively compositions
Dale Carnegie (1888-1955)
Author of How to Win Friends and Influence People
William F. Buckley (1925-2008)
He founded the conservative journal National Review
Katherine Heigl (1978- )
Her role as Dr. Izzie Stevens on Grey’s Anatomy (2005-2010) earned her a Grammy. She has crossed over into many genres playing characters in Bride of Chucky (1988) horror, Knocked Up (2007) rom-com, and Firefly Lane (2021) drama.
Therefore also God exalted him and graciously granted him the name above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven and of those on earth and of those under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11
