They forget.

I look at FB every day. mainly to see if any cousin has posted a new family photo.  Scrolling, I couldn't help but notice that yesterday, December 7th, there was only 1 remembrance of Pearl Harbor. Reading the comment below it, it said the person didn't see ANY mention of it in newspapers in America.  I thought that was rather strange. WWII, Normandy, Vietnam, all have numerous posts on their days but Pearl Harbor is being forgotten. It is a disservice to all who died during that battle. It is not like that in Poland. It always remembers it's battles and wars, won or lost. It is sad that America forgets Pearl Harbor.

On the bright side, there is sun somewhere behind all the clouds making today a brighter day. 10c is the high for today so it is not cold nor is it raining.

Dealing with squirrels (Some Religious Perspectives)
 
The Presbyterian
church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel
infestation.  After much prayer and consideration, they concluded
that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they shouldn’t
interfere with God’s divine will.
 
At the Baptist
church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery.  The
deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistery and let the
squirrels drown themselves.  The squirrels liked the slide and
unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels
showed up the following week.
  
The Lutheran
church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s
creatures.  So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them
free near the Baptist church.  Two weeks later the squirrels were
back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.
 
But the Catholic
church came up with a very creative strategy!  They baptized all the
squirrels and made them members of the church.  Now they only see
them at Christmas and Easter.
 
Not much was
heard from the Jewish synagogue.  They took the first squirrel and
circumcised him.  They haven’t seen a squirrel
since.


Sprawdzam FB codziennie. G艂贸wnie po to, by zobaczy膰, czy kt贸ry艣 z kuzyn贸w opublikowa艂 now膮 rodzinn膮 fotografi臋. Przewijaj膮c wiadomo艣ci, nie mog艂em nie zauwa偶y膰, 偶e w wczoraj, 7 grudnia, pojawi艂o sie tylko 1 wspomnienie o Pearl Harbor. W komentarzu poni偶ej by艂o napisane, 偶e autor nie widzi 偶adnej wzmianki o ataku na Pearl Harbor w gazetach w Ameryce. Pomy艣la艂em, 偶e to raczej dziwne. O II Wojnie 艢wiatowej, Normandii, Wietnamie, pisze si臋 du偶o w dniach rocznic, ale Pearl Harbor jest zapomniane. Uw艂acza to wszystkim, kt贸rzy zgin臋li w czasie tej bitwy. W Polsce pami臋ta si臋 bitwy i wojny, wygrane lub przegrane. To smutne, 偶e Ameryka zapomina o Pearl Harbor.

Patrz膮c z ja艣niejszej strony, gdzie艣 za chmurami jest s艂o艅ce. Dzi艣 jest 10 stopni, ciep艂o jak na grudzie艅 i nie pada.

Jak sobie poradzi膰 z wiewi贸rkami (z punktu widzenia religii)
 
Prezbiterianie 
zwo艂ali spotkanie by zdecydowa膰, co zrobi膰 z inwazj膮 wiewi贸rek
Po wielu modlitwach i rozwa偶aniach uznali, 偶e wiewi贸rki s膮 predestynowane by tam by膰,
a oni nie powinni ingerowa膰 w Boskie zamierzenia

Bapty艣ci
W ich ko艣ciele wiewi贸rki zainteresowa艂y si臋 baptysterium. Diakoni spotkali si臋 i postanowili umie艣ci膰 zje偶d偶alni臋 na baptysterium. Niech wiewi贸rki si臋 potopi膮. Wiewi贸rki jednak lubi艂y zje偶d偶alni臋 i instynktownie wiedzia艂y, jak p艂ywa膰, wi臋c w nast臋pnym tygodniu pojawi艂o si臋dwa razy wi臋cej wiewi贸rek
 .
Luteranie
uznali, 偶e nie mog膮 zaszkodzi膰 偶adnemu z Bo偶ych stworze艅.Wi臋c, humanitarnie uwi臋zili swoje wiewi贸rki i uwolnili je w pobli偶u ko艣cio艂a baptyst贸w. Dwa tygodnie p贸藕niej wiewi贸rki powr贸ci艂y, gdy bapty艣ci zabrali zje偶d偶alni臋.
Katolicy
wymy艣lili bardzo tw贸rcz膮 strategi臋! Ochrzcili wiewi贸rki i uczynili je cz艂onkami Ko艣cio艂a.
Teraz wiewi贸rki pojawiaj膮 si臋 w ko艣ciele tylko na Bo偶e Narodzenie i w Wielkanoc.
Z synagogi nie ma zbyt wielu wiadomo艣ci.
Po tym jak wzi臋li pierwsz膮 wiewi贸rk臋 i ja obrzezali, nikt tam nie widzia艂 wi臋cej wiewi贸rek
