A Good Day

Even though I didn't have enough time to do all of my requirements, today was a great day. At church, Connor (my oldest son), stood in front of the church and told the congregation why he wanted to be baptized. They then went to the pool and he was. Afterwards we drove to Sanford, to my wife's family, and celebrated Christmas with them, then we had a birthday party for her grandma. Sweetest lady to ever live. I think she is 90 something. Drove back, and middle of the night, and I'm knocking out some push up and sit ups and talking with you all. Tomorrow is promised to no one. 

Useless trivia: On December 23, 1690 English astronomer John Flamsteed observes Uranus without realizing it's undiscovered. Curious, I wonder why he named it Uranus? Sounds like something that would happen in a bar with all your drunk buddies around as they slur, "Hey Flamstead, when was the last time you bought a round, uranus!"

 

It’s Christmas!
