Bread for 31.2% (of the world).... Baby I'm A Want You

The 280th day of 2018 is World Communion Sunday.  I really appreciated Pastor Michael's words this morning, "none of us are truly worthy, but we are all welcome."  The inclusivity this morning was a welcome salve after this week's politics and news flow.  For tonight's number, according to Pew, 31.2% of the world's population are Christian.  So 31.2% will be our number of the day.  But we should also remember that means the majority of the world (68.8%) are not Christian, and I believe God loves us ALL!  There were many types of bread at today's service, representing breads from all across the world.  So I figure a song from Bread would be the most appropriate as our song of the night.

93 Year Old Stars in Mary Poppins

12/28/18 was another relaxing vacation day.  The 362nd day of 2018 ended with dinner and a movie with friends who are close to family as we saw Mary Poppins Returns.  While the movie did not reach the quality of the original, it was still pure Disney magic!  What was also remarkable to me was the special appearances by Dick van Dyke and Angela Landsbury - beloved Disney performers.  The number of the day is 93, because both are 93 years young, and our song will be the ORIGINAL Chimney Sweep song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG6O4N3wxf8

In the Pub (from 1950) dreaming of Beauty and the Beast

It was another day of relative relaxation on the 361st day of 2018.  Got a good swim in at the gym and some down time at home and then capped off 12/27/18 with a wonderful dinner, with wonderful friends in a new place that is actually old.  Yes, we went to the PUB for the first time (amazingly enough) and, in the main dining room, all I could think is that we were in the Beast's Castle in Disney.  I was a great atmosphere and the good food and conversation made it a really nice time.  Since the PUB became the PUB in 1950, that will be our number of the day.  And, since I felt like we were in Beauty and the Beast, its theme song will be our song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axySrE0Kg6k

As Cold As Ice (OK, Just 39 degrees)

Merchantville Softball played Waterford Little League on the evening of the 291st day of 2018.  And, on 10/18/18, it was cooooold!  (It is always cold there but tonight it was really cold).  The first cold snap of the Fall has arrived.  I even turned on the car's heat on the trip back.  It's supposed to go down to 39 tonight (first time in the 30s since April), so 39 is our number of the day.  And, although it's not 32, I still think this Foreigner song applies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC99JhQq-3w
