Events That Happened On 2/19/2013

Good Morning,
I am starting this day with a hot cup of Door County Marshmallow Mocha Coffee this morning.

John 14:1-4

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many mansions;^[a] if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.^{[b] 3} And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. ⁴ And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

 

Acts 1:11

New International Version (NIV)

¹¹ “Men of Galilee,”^(A) they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back^(B) in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

 

 

Looking back at History for this date I was able to compile a few historical days. You will see some pretty big events.  Some had a huge impact on the world and some did not.  But each is a moment in history. Many people who were involved with the date's events are no longer alive. Many of the things I mention below might not even mean anything to you. Some no longer have any impact on anything at all. Some still do. But in the end when Jesus comes back the only thing that will matter is your relationship to Him as Lord and Savior. But there is only one February 19th 2013. What will you do that will have an impact on eternity? Will you choose Jesus today, will you lead someone to Him. Make today last for eternity?
