Genesis 17:2 (172), the Covenant and Promises

So today was the 56th day of 2018.  And, as most Sundays do, 2/25/18 started off at Church.  I like Pastor Michael's Lenten Sermon theme.....Covenant.  And, today, we heard the verses in Genesis describing God's promises to Abraham:
                                   "And I will make my covenant between me and you,
                                         and will make you exceedingly numerous."

And we are challenged to think about what God's promises to us might be and how we can see them in our lives.  This is what I will be considering all week.  Thank you, Michael!  For tonight, the number of the day will be 172 (for the verse above, Genesis 17:2) and this When in Rome song is one of my 80's favorites!

Et Tu, Brute (since 1599)

The Ides of March.  3/15/18, the 74th day of 2018.  I wanted to have a Caesar Salad all day but, alas, it was not meant to be.  Instead, I figured I would honor Shakespeare and his Julius Caesar play, written in 1599.  So 1599 will be our number, and this strange song about JC will be our song.  Off to bed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI24OtN678o

Sugar Cookie Day and 0 unread emails!

Pretty nondescript day on day #190 of 2018.  7/9/18 is also National Sugar Cookie Day.  The only thing notable for me is that I have ZERO unread emails as I head to bed.  So, elated about that small detail, I will present 0 as the number of the day and play this song (about sugar) from the Archies.  Goodnight! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9nE2spOw_o

102nd Birthday

The 43rd day pf 2018 marked the anniversary of the birth of a very important person.  And Abraham Lincoln too!  But 2/12/18 would have been the 102nd birthday of Nettie Soskin, my Bubbe.  She was one of the most amazing women I have ever met and she is one of my role models.  And she could cook too!!  <3  So, to honor her, we have the number of the day as 102 and this Stevie Wonder classic as our song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inS9gAgSENE
