THURSDAY!

.....thoughtful, throwback or thankful?  I am blank on all 3 this morning.

     I will post a throwback picture of me and see if any of you might know where I am in this one.......

 

     Yikes, I forgotten that I had blond hair back then!  lol  My friend and I were visiting Chicago and I was a HUGE fan of this particular basketball player....hint, hint!

 

     Thoughtful.....a sweet friend at church came over to me last night and said she could tell I wasn't feeling well, and she offered to do anything for me that she could.  She is only one of the many, many reasons I love my church family.

 

     Thankful I am for my Lord who gave me the opportunity to live in Heaven with Him one day.

 

QUESTION OF THE DAY

      

 

     Can you tell me why the ring finger is sometimes called the medical finger?

     I can tell you why, but the theory no longer holds water. For centuries, it was believed that the ring finger had a nerve running through it that was connected to the heart. The Romans and Greeks used the medical finger for stirring mixtures, especially in alchemy, with the belief that anything noxious would be immediately detected by way of some warning sign at the heart. This direct connection -- which years later was proved to be false -- was why it was chosen as the ring finger, marking the heart's sentiment. English superstition still holds that the ring finger should be used for applying ointments or salves or for scratching the skin.  

 

A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.  ~Lois Wyse
