Evening, Kathy! Thanks for another inspiring bio!
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
I bet he had an adventure sending mail home during the war. I had 3 uncles that served in WWII whose last name was also a geographical location so the censors delayed their mail trying to figure out if it was some sort of coded message.
Bible in a Year :
Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.
Nichols had actually resigned from Star Trek after its first season, to return to her theater work. But then she met Martin Luther King Jr., who urged her not to leave. For the first time, he said, African Americans were being seen on TV as intelligent people who could do anything, even go to space. By playing Lieutenant Uhura, Nichols was achieving a greater win—showing Black women and children what they could become.
It reminds me of the time James and John asked Jesus for the two best positions in His kingdom (Mark 10:37). What personal wins such positions would be! Jesus not only explained the painful realities of their request (vv. 38–40) but called them to higher goals, saying, “whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant” (v. 43). His followers weren’t to seek personal wins alone but, like Him, use their positions to serve others (v. 45).
Nichelle Nichols stayed with Star Trek for the greater win it provided for African Americans. May we too never be content with a personal win alone but use whatever position we gain to serve others in His name. .
Reflect & Pray
What are your current personal and career goals? What doors could you open for others right now?
Dear Jesus, show me how to use my position to serve others in Your name.
Yesterday Gizmo and I chilled out in front of the heater and had a really good supper from Sonic.
Hang in there Gizmo, This cold spell will end soon.
Meanwhile, our public school district has cancelled classes for today because they're having problems keeping their classrooms warm. I'll bet the kids are also ready for this cold spell to end too.
How's everyone doing this morning?
