The Longest Walk
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
A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
Today’s tip of the hat goes to DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY PROFESSIONALS’ DAY. These fine folks work with and for the mentally disabled. They are case managers and service coordinators who arrange for employment opportunities, medical services, housing and more. Thank you for your caring and your service.
Awareness Spotlight shines on…
NATIONAL GIVE SOMETHING AWAY DAY encourages the generosity in all of us. Whether you can donate, give some of your time, or even brighten someone’s day with a smile, it truly is better to give than to receive.
Our Furry Friends
In 2009, the American Kennel Club, along with ADT Security Services, started PET FIRE SAFETY DAY. We have planned escape routes, run emergency drills, and prepared for various disasters (everybody nod) – but have you planned for the pets? Make sure Fido or Fluffy are taken care of as well. Remember, Proper Planning Prevents Pet Pain.
Keeping with an animal theme, up next is NATIONAL I LOVE HORSES DAY. Who doesn’t love these magnificent creatures who provide service, transportation, and in the case of the Clydesdales – a little beer?
Todays fashion Trends
For the ladies, we offer up NATIONAL CLEAN BEAUTY DAY. This is more about the industry sourcing, using, processing, and selling clean products. You gals deserve the best and these companies need to provide it – not that you need makeup
On Today’s Menu…
Oh, just go ahead and eat worms! Candy worms, that is, on NATIONAL GUMMI WORM DAY. These gelatinous wigglers were first made by a German company called Trolli. Slurp them up, put them in desserts, tie them in knots and whatever else you can think of to celebrate their day.

Our dessert of the day is rich and creamy. TAPIOCA PUDDING DAY is best served chilled and will hit the spot just about any time of the day.

On this day…
1903 – Ford Motor Company fills its first order – a two-cylinder Model A – to a Chicago dentist for the price of $850
1965 – Mariner 4 sends back the first pictures of the surface of Mars
1978 – “The Longest Walk” – a 2,800-mile hike from California – ends at Washington DC. This was done to bring attention to the plight of Native Americans – which, in my opinion, still needs attention
1988 – Die Hard explodes into theaters – we need to start a movement to create “National Die Hard Day” – and have it on Christmas Eve
2006 – Those aren’t birds chirping – it’s Twitter being publicly launched
