Micah 6:8
1 Thessalonians 2:5-9 John 2:1-11
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Why did I reference that old slogan, "Remember the Lusitania!" today? Well, this is the anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania by a German U-boat in 1915. Nearly 1,200 people were killed in the attack, and it was part of the justification for these United States' joining in World War I.
That got me thinking of all the other "Remember the ..." slogans through history:
- Remember Pearl Harbor!
- Remember the Maine!
- Remember the Alamo!
- Remember the Lusitania!
- Remember the Titans!
Those all led me to a quote that's most appropriate for this weekend:
“I remember the big white house on Steiner Street, and my little sister Dagmar, and my big brother Nels, and Papa. But most of all, I remember Mama.”
That's from the opening of the film and TV series, "I Remember Mama."
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I pray you'll be able to spend time with your families, and that they will appreciate the time with you as much as you do your time with them.
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
