*I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands,* *One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.*

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Religious Holidays

SAINT PETER AND SAINT PAUL DAY is a feast celebration in honor of these two apostles who followed Christ. Peter fought through his challenges in faith to become “the rock” on which the church would be built. Paul, a scholar, and devout Jew had been a persecutor of the church who “saw the light” when Christ appeared to him. He then brought the message of God’s salvation to the gentiles. Both were martyred for their faith. Peter was crucified, but he asked to be done so upside down – he did not feel worthy enough to be crucified like the LORD. Paul was beheaded in Rome.

Convention and Construction

NATIONAL LOG CABIN DAY celebrates the humble beginnings of our country. The Swedish were the first to build these structures on U.S. soil and 7 of our Presidents were born in log cabins. These natural structures are still being built today and make for some beautiful houses.

Invention and Information

It is also NATIONAL WAFFLE IRON DAY. What a great contraption! It makes cooking breakfast a little more fun and gives us those delicious waffles that you can do so much with.

It’s time to break out the Brownie for NATIONAL CAMERA DAY. While we may not use Brownies, Polaroids, or 110’s anymore, just about everyone has a camera on their phone, so snap a few pics today of whatever catches your eye.

What do you get when you combine chocolate and toffee? Why, NATIONAL ALMOND BUTTERCRUNCH DAY, of course. This candy does take a little know-how and experience to make, but the results are certainly worth the effort.
