October 29, 2024 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, October 29.

Our focus today is on one of the most famous passages in the Bible - the Ten Commandments. But do you know that there was actually not one, but two sets of commandments? Moses brought the first set down from the mountain, saw the golden idol that the Israelite people had built, and angrily threw the tablets to the ground, breaking them into pieces.

The great and wise King Solomon was said to have written over 3000 proverbs. We find many of them in the Bible book by that name. Proverbs is one of my favorite books of the Bible - perhaps it’s one of yours. In it we find wise sayings on all sorts of subjects - wealth, poverty, pride, gossip, justice, friends, family, life, death - just to name a few. And these are more than just wise sayings. They are the wisdom of God. Here’s a few proverbs to take you into the weekend.

On this day in 1956, a new visual medium was unveiled - not film, but tape - video tape.  It wasn't until the 1980's that this new technology was made available to the public.  I remember buying my first video player/recorder about that time. They were huge, the size of a suitcase, and pretty pricey, too. Back then, in my younger days, I prided myself in being on the forefront of new technology. Now, in my old age, I collect antiques. Go figure!

Today our focus is on the subject of control.

What do you say when you answer the phone? I guess there's more than one way to do it, but I'm 99% sure you say "hello". In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, and he decided on the word that people should use when they used his invention. He decided we should say "ahoy!". If that had caught on, we'd all sound like sailors every time we got a phone call.

The temperature gauge on my shed this morning read 39 degrees! Autumn has arrived. I love the "seams" of the seasons - those few days, four times each year, when nature tells us that a change has come. There's that moment in May when you can suddenly smell summer, that week in March when the world turns from black and white into color, that first winter frost.
