Twenty years ago, if there was a movie you wanted to see, and it wasn’t showing in a theater, what would you do? You’d go to Blockbuster! At that time, Blockbuster had 10,000 stores and 100,000 employees. Business was good and the future looked bright.

Today is Veteran’s Day. It is our pleasure, our blessing, our honor, to say thank you to all the men and women who have served as soldiers, who have stood their post, who have protected America. Here’s some great quotes for this special day.
*Some people live their entire lives and wonder if they’ve made a difference in the world. Veterans don’t have that problem. Ronald Reagan
*Honor to the soldiers and sailors everywhere, who bravely bear their country’s cause. Abraham Lincoln

In Mark 8:11-13 we find these words - “The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test Him, they asked for a sign from heaven.

Something happened at my house yesterday that hadn’t happened in a long time. It rained. We’ve been going through quite a dry spell here in Shelby County, and we needed that rain. I needed that rain. As I sat on my porch and watched the long, slow, soaking shower - listened to it, smelled it, enjoyed it - I realized how much I’d missed it. As they say, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”.
