The Cleveland Browns defeat the New York Jets on the premiere of Monday Night Football – 1970
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.
Religious Holidays
BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY calls out from the sanctuaries, worship centers, synagogues and any other place that holds worship services. It is a communal call that welcomes all to come and see. Come and see for yourself what it is like to praise God and meet with people who care about you.
Awareness Spotlights shine on…
NATIONAL OPIOID AWARENESS DAY shines a spotlight on a very dark condition that can trap just about anyone. We know opioids can be addictive and well over half of all overdose deaths are now due to them. If you are taking them, be very careful. Wear purple to show support.
WORLD ALZHEIMER’S DAY reminds us that there is still more work and research to be done on this horrible disease. There is no cure – yet – and no known preventative measures to be taken. Check with the Alzheimer’s Association to see how you can help. If you search for this website on Microsoft Bing – they will automatically donate to the cause.
NATIONAL BLACK WOMANS EQUAL PAY DAY marks just how much longer an African American woman has to work to earn the same as a white male – on average. About 226 days longer – let’s keep working to balance the scales.
Family and Friends
I can’t describe, in enough words, what my wife means to me. She is loving, beautiful, hardworking, funny, a lot smarter than me and the very essence of womanhood. I don’t know what I would do without you baby, I love you. I think this every day, but I post it today because it is WIFE APPRECIATION DAY.
For Fun
Hawaiian Rumble Championship Mini Golf Course in Myrtle Beach, SC
This one’s for you, Sister, and anyone else who loves to chase windmills. MINIATURE GOLF DAY is all about getting outside, finding your favorite putt-putt course and winding your way through the obstacles. Did you know that they have a pro mini golf league? Yep, as well as some championship courses.
On Today’s Menu…
NATIONAL CHAI DAY quenches our thirst with a healthy tea. You can mix this with milk and a variety of spices including cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper and fennel.
I only have one question for our dessert of the day – is it NATIONAL PEE-CAN COOKIE DAY or NATIONAL PA-CON COOKIE DAY? I don’t think it really matters, just grab a few and enjoy.

The king of deadpan comedy
Faith Hill (1967- )

Most awesome Father, thank you for my amazing wife. May you bless and protect her and may I be the husband she needs me to be for her. I also ask for deliverance for those caught up in the addiction of opioids. It is rampant today and so many are suffering. Break their chains and may they turn to You as well as good resources for help. I ask this in Your healing name Jesus, Amen.
Enjoy the day and make it your own
