Blake McAlpin's 18th Birthday

Pat and Anndalyn Hobbs' 18th Wedding Anniversary

Note:  


Lumbin Province, Nepal the Birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Lord Buddha. He died in Kushinagar, India.  He lived sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.  Buddhists do not believe in any kind of deity or god, they focus on achieving enlightenment—a state of inner peace and wisdom. Buddhist teaching views life and death as a continuum, believing that consciousness (the spirit) continues after death and may be reborn.  What religion is connected to Buddhism?  The intersections of Buddhism with other Eastern religions, such as Taoism, Shinto, Hinduism, and Bon illustrate the interconnected ideologies that interplay along the path of enlightenment.

I got up at 7 a.m. and had my personal prayer,  I sent Blake a happy birthday text and Pat and Anndalyn a happy anniversary text.  Debbie took Allison Gourley to lunch and shopping for her 13th birthday, which will be Thursday, Jan. 11th.  I finished 2023 Thoughts and Quotes from my journal but need help from StoryWorth in getting it printed.  I worked on getting information ready for the accountant for our 2023 taxes, (IRS and GA, UT, and ID). I read some in Sandra Hadley's book, Treee of Life, and Debbie fixed dinner,  I called and talked to Dan Truitt.  I put next week's layout for my Google calendar and talke with Royal Carabbian customer service about getting Melodie in the water park and giving Maaggie and bella mine and Debbie's passes to the water park.  I had some questions about the beverage package included with the Magic Gennie, anytime dining for day 2, 4, 5 & 6 I got reservations and the shows and entertainment will open up for making reservations 30 days before sailing.  I had prayer with Debbie before going to bed.

We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to outpatients at the clinic. One summer evening as I was fixing supper, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful-looking man. “Why, he’s hardly taller than my eight-year-old,” I thought as I stared at the stooped, shriveled body. But the appalling thing was his face; it was lopsided from swelling and scarred, red, and raw. Yet his voice was pleasant as he said, “Good evening. I’ve come to see if you’ve a room for just one night....
