Christopher Columbus

“He is Christopher Columbus. Christopher Columbus reached South America in 1498. (look it up, she’s awesome) He wore a hat for many years. (again, check it!) He was born in Italy. He crossed the sea for King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.”

Best.

D-Day – 65th Anniversary

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

Once 16 million strong, U.S. veterans of World War II are dying at a rate of more than 1,000 a day and now number about 2.5 million, the Department of Veterans Affairs estimates.

Take time to thank your father, grandfather or great-grandfather today. They literally changd the course of history.

Some perspective:

1 Corinthians 13

The Way of Love

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

13So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Spelling labor with a “u” is definitely cooler, but alas…

You’ll have to report to class after lunch if you don’t read this article.

Just thought you should know.
