EVERY DAY
Every day is someone’s birthday -
like today is Martin Luther and
Brad Best’s wife’s birthday.
Every day is someone’s deathday,
like Celestine IV - a Pope for 16 days
in 1241 and Leonid Brezhnev in 1982.
Every day is a big anniversary,
like the U.S. Marine’s started today
in 1775 in Tun
Tavern in Philadelphia.
Every day is a day to remember
like today the SS Edmund Fitzgerald
sank in Lake Superior, November 10, 1975
Every day has interesting facts
like today in 1958 Harry Winston donated
the Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian.
Every day has beginnings like Sesame
Street in 1969 and Bill Gates introduced
Windows 1.0 today,
in 1983.
Every day has Good News that
started that day - like November 10, 1989 -
the Berlin Wall started to be torn down.
Every day has Good News that
started that day - like November 10, 1989 -
the Berlin Wall started to be torn down.
Every November 10 is just one day
but lots of things will be happening today
like every other day of the year. Amen.
