ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
JULY 20th, 2011
If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side
It's WEDNESDAY!
MOON DAY
Moon Day commemorates the day man first walked on the moon in 1969.
The Apollo Space program, begun by President John F. Kennedy, was created to put the first man on the moon. Apollo 11 fulfilled that dream, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin Aldrin, Jr. What an amazing and historic event it was!
On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 was launched from Cape Kennedy Space Center atop a huge Saturn V rocket. On July 20, 1969, the Lunar Module, nicknamed the Eagle, touched down on the surface of the moon at Tranquility Base. Upon landing, Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong reported The Eagle Has Landed. A few hours later, Neil Armstrong, stepped off of the Eagle's ladder, placed one foot upon the moon's surface and proclaimed: That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
Enjoy Moon Day reliving this historic day. Watch a movie on space or read a book on space flight

NATIONAL HOT DOG DAY
National Hot Dog Day celebrates one of America's favorite summer sandwiches. It is only fitting that this dog gets its day.
Its summertime. Hot dogs are center stage on the grill, and at picnics all across America. They are at the ballpark. They are sold from carts on street corners in every city. It's not hard to find them. We consume hundreds of millions of hot dogs on the Fourth of July alone.
Enjoy National Hot Dog Day to the fullest. Have a couple of hot dogs for lunch or dinner. And, don't forget to cook a few on a stick at the evening campfire.
HOT DOGS AND BEANS
10 hot dogs, sliced
1 can (15 to 16 ounce size) pork and beans in tomato sauce
1 can (15 to 16 ounce size) butter beans, drained
1 can (15 to 16 ounce size) chili beans
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 tablespoons wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon dried leaf oregano, crumbled
Combine hot dogs and beans and all other ingredients in a large bowl; pour into a 2 1/2-quart casserole or baking dish.
Bake beans and hot dogs, uncovered, at 350° for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU!
AROUND HOME
Wherever life takes us, there are always moments of wonder
Jimmy Carter
If you are an early riser as I often am, you may have noticed that the days are starting to get shorter. It's dark out now when I wake up. Thankfully summer still has a ways to go and even though the day light hours are on the decrease, there are many hours yet to enjoy.
Late but not least by any means...my memory verse for July 15th.
You, however, must continue in the things you have learned and are confident about. You know who taught you and how from infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:14-15 The NET Bible
COUNTING THE DAYS
What you do matters: You are a bridge to the past and future.
65 DAYS UNTIL FALL
Keep looking ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of things.
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near…
Love,
