Roma will be warm for the winter...

God can do the possible

Last Sunday I was teaching my precious Jr. High Girls and not expecting to learn anything for myself, God has another plan.

Let me set the stage...

We were talking about our temple and how we should take care of our temple. I asked what were some things that were in our temple that we needed to get rid of. For females reading this I bet you said the exact same thing that was said that night.

GOSSIP and DRAMA

2 things that tend to invade the female life when we are so young and continues to try to convice us its our friend.

Anyway the subject turned to talking about faith and that God can make mountains move with faith the size of a mustard seed.

And then it was said the statement that I can't get out of my head. It came from a precious seventh grader.

All the time we look to God to do the impossible when we forget that he can also do the possible.

What? You mean God can do the possible things that we see are possible? God does the possible as well as the impossible?

God does it all we just have to have faith. We need to believe that he will remove the GOSSIP and DRAMA from our temple. What we see as impossible God sees as possible He just wants us to have FAITH in Him

Columbus Day

I discovered a love for Columbus Day last year when my boss walked into my office as said we were closed for Columbus Day. What? I thought. Seriously? I never remember getting off during school for Columbus Day but if the Business World celebrates then I will not question their celebration!

But why do we celebrate and what do we celebrate....well let's find out...

Columbus Day first became an official state holiday in Colorado in 1905, and became a federal Holiday in 1934. However, people have celebrated Columbus' voyage since the colonial period. In 1792, New York City and other U.S. cities celebrated the 300th anniversary of his landing in the New World. In 1892, President Benjamin Harrison called upon the people of the United States to celebrate Columbus Day on the 400th anniversary of the event. During the 400-year anniversary in 1892, teachers, preachers, poets and politicians used Columbus Day rituals to teach ideals of patriotism. These patriotic rituals were framed around themes such as support for war, citizenship boundaries, the importance of loyalty to the nation, and celebrating social progress.

Interesting...and I will celebrate by sleeping in and watching movies and remembering good ole Chris!
