As I have told you, my brother came home last night. He came in at 12:45 AM, which gave us some problems because the airport is two hours drive away from our house. Originally Dad was going to go down to the airport and drive my brother back, but Dad wasn’t feeling well so we thought that my Mom and I would go down and pick him up. My Mom didn’t want to have to drive that road in the dark, so that would require going down before dark and finding something to do while we waited for my brother’s flight. That didn’t seem very practical so we all decided to go down and pick him up. We left at 9:00 PM, got home at 3:00 AM and promptly went to bed. Meanwhile, before we left  Dad was registering my sister’s flight which was supposed to come in on Saturday, Dad looked everywhere for her flight number but could not find it online at all, so he called the airline and asked, and they said that that flight had been canceled. They had to switch the flight for a different time anyway so Daddy just asked them to switch the flight to tonight when my other sister is supposed to get in. It worked out that both of them are coming in tonight around the same time. That way we don’t have to make two 3 hour trips to their airport.

The verse of the day is James 4:6, “But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

The random interesting historical fact is: on December 16, 2000, Researchers announced that information from NASA's Galileo spacecraft indicated that Ganymede appeared to have a liquid saltwater ocean beneath a surface of solid ice. Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, is the solar system's largest moon. The discovery is considered important since water is a key ingredient for life. And also on December 16, 1901 The Tale of Peter Rabbit, by Beatrix Potter, was printed for the first time.
