200th New Thing - Read Proverbs


I started reading a new book that I got for graduation, The Richest Man Who Ever Lived by Steven K. Scott. The book speaks of King Solomon’s breakthrough strategies to achieve a life of financial success and personal fulfillment. It book reveals Solomon’s hidden treasures, the often-overlooked wisdom for achieving breakthrough success in work, health, marriage, and relationship with God. In his book, Scott encourages the reader to read the Book of Proverbs, 1 chapter each day of the month since there are 31 chapters in Proverbs. Proverbs is a book in the Hebrew Bible in the Old Testament. It is a collection of Solomon's sayings to teach people how to live right in poetic form. This makes them easy to memorize and apply to daily life. Proverbs teaches the importance of fairness, humility, loyalty, and concern for the poor and needy. Since May just began not too long ago, I read chapters 1-7 of the Proverbs since today is May 7th. Some of the chapters themes were: don't be tempted by sinners, keep in tune with wisdom, and be faithful to your wife.

47th New Thing - Watched Laverne & Shirley

They were roommates who worked in a fictitious Milwaukee brewery called "Shotz Brewery". The show was a spin-off from Happy Days, as the two lead characters were originally introduced on that series as acquaintances of Fonzie. I watched Season 7, Episode 22, "Perfidy in Blue" originally aired on May 11, 1982. This episode started out with Shirley looking for Laverne's favorite blue purse that she borrowed and lost. Laverne asks where it is because she would like to use it on her date. Shirley lies and says she hasn't seen it. Shirley then watches TV and daydreams that she is in the TV show and married. Laverne is having an affair with Shirley's husband and Laverne tries to poison Shirley. Shirley pretends she is dead. Shirley wakes up and ...
