After family prayer, scriptures, and Come Follow Me, James left to take his truck in to Walmart to get the oil changed.
While James was gone to town Sheri, Ben, and Cayli left for home around 8 o'clock. They wanted to beat the traffic.
Ben and Cayli left their YC noodles in the frig. I had them for lunch and then again for dinner. Cayli's were mixed with veggies and Ben's were mixed with meat. I think I liked the veggies better.
Today is Labor Day. I've always wondered how it started and what exactly it was for. I Googled it and here is what I came up with:
Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday of September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements in the United States.
Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate labor. "Labor Day" was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, which organized the first parade in New York City. In 1887, Oregon was the first state of the United States to make it an official public holiday. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty states in the U.S. officially celebrated Labor Day.
I worked on my blog today. The only way I am ever going to catch up is to do at least two posts a day. Some days I accomplish this goal and other days I fall short.
I watched a really good movie on Amazon Prime called "Love in Tahiti." It was so good I texted Sheri and told her to watch it. She did and she liked it just as much as I did.
Tom slept with me on the recliner tonight. When you cat spends the night with you that means he really likes you. I feel so special.
Notes & Quotes
"Baptism by immersion is the symbolic gate through which we enter into a covenant relationship with God. Being immersed in the water and coming up again is symbolic of the Savior's death and Resurrection to ne life. As we are baptized, we symbolically die and are born again into the family of Christ and show we are willing to take His name upon us. We ourselves embody that covenant symbolism. In the New Testament we read, 'For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.' With our baptism we symbolically put on Christ."
