Speedy Gonzales

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

 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.

Education and Information

Steve and Kerry Boyle’s nine-year-old daughter was told she would be a great addition to the soccer team, until the coach found out she also wanted to play lacrosse.  She was then promptly dismissed from soccer.  The Boyles came up with the slogan “Life’s 2 Short 4 just 1 Sport” and started a movement that has turned into a conduit to get children interested in sports and their benefits.  NATIONAL SPORTS SAMPLING DAY encourages us to engage in a little physical activity for an all-around healthier life. Go to 2-4-1 CARE to learn more.

For Fun

ACCORDING TO HOYLE DAY is actually a tribute to Edmond Hoyle, a 15^th century English lawyer who was the definitive expert on card and board games of the time.  He published books on these games, stating the rules and proper conduct that should be carried out.  If anyone had an issue with the game, they would break out the book and say, “According to Hoyle…” and that would be the end of it.  Whist, backgammon, and chess are just some of the games he wrote about.

COLLEGE COLORS DAY kicks off the college football season and will be in full swing this weekend.  Support your team by singing their fight song and wearing their colors today.  All I have to say is, “Hail to the victors valiant, Hail, to the conquering heroes, Hail, Hail to Michigan the champions of the west – GO BLUE!”

On Today’s Menu…

Don’t be a sourpuss just because it’s NATIONAL LEMON JUICE DAY.  This stuff is great for making food taste better, look better, and, of course, for making that totally refreshing drink, lemonade.

Our delectable dish of the day is considered American Chinese cuisine.  NATIONAL CHOP SUEY DAY combines meat, eggs, veggies, and a thick sauce that holds it all together.  The origins of this dish are lost in history, but when it is put together just the way you like it, does it really matter how it got here?
