THIS DAY IN WWII:
|
September 24, 1941 - The Japanese consul in Hawaii was instructed
to divide Pearl Harbor into five zones and calculate the number of
battleships in each zone. September 24, 1942 - Glenn Miller ended his broadcasts for Chesterfield Cigarettes so he could go to World War II. September 24, 1948 - Mildred Gillars, known as "Axis Sally," pled innocent to charges of treason. She ended up serving 12 years for being a Nazi wartime radio propagandist. |
THIS DAY IN 1968:
| Monday, September 24, 1968 - Nothing at all
happened anywhere in the world today - or so it would seem. |
From My Friend, Susan, of NC - 09/23/15:
| “If it were possible
to make your road very easy, you wouldn’t grow in strength. If you were
always forgiven for every mistake without effort on your part, you would
never receive the blessings of repentance. If everything were done for
you, you wouldn’t learn how to work, or gain self-confidence, or acquire
the power to change.”

FINALLY:
| If someone has a mid-life crisis while playing
hide & seek... Do they automatically lose because they can't find themselves? |
