This Day in History - November 3rd

Good evening and thank you for visiting the Morning Glory blog!! I pray that today's broadcast was a blessing to you.

How was your day? I hope you've had a positive day! Mine has been very busy. Both of my sons are busy with their activities. So, being the world's second best mom, I'm doing what I do - running them to their events while making sure they are mentally, physically and spiritually prepared to be the best they can be!

Quiet time is so very nice...and precious!

Today is November 3, 2012. During today's history facts for this date in history, I touched on the accomplishments of several people. I've done a little more research on two people in particular. Keep reading for more details about Carol Moseley Braun and J. H. Hunter.


Carol Elizabeth Moseley Braun was born in Chicago, Illinois on August 16, 1947. Braun spent her teen years living with her grandmother after her parents divorced.

She attended the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign for four months. She dropped out and eventually attended the University of Illinois at Chicago majoring in political science. she graduated in 1969 and in 1972, Braun earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Chicago Law School.

On this date in history, Braun would become the first and (to-date) only African-American woman elected to the United States Senate, the first woman to defeat an incumbent senator in an election, and the first and (to-date) only female Senator from Illinois. She would also become candidate for the Democratic nomination for U.S. president in 2004.

Braun worked diligently to affect social change, education, government, and healthcare reform.

In 1896, Inventor J.H. Hunter patented the weighing scale - used to determine the weight or mass of an object or individual. Hunter’s invention was used primarily for weighing flour, sugar, butter and lard. He also is credited with inventing some type of hair dressing device.

I wasn't able to find out many details about Hunter. If you decide to dig deeper into the history of J.H. Hunter, please come back to the blog and share what you've found.

For more information on these two individuals, see the following links to my sources.

Have a wonderful evening and be sure to tune in again next week!

WORD TO THE WISE #61: In All Points Tempted As We Are, Yet Without Sin

Saturday, March 17, 2012

So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food (the lust of the flesh), that it was pleasant to the eyes (the lust of the eyes), and a tree desirable to make one wise (the pride of life), she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

When the tempter came to [Jesus], he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread," (the lust of the flesh). But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" The devil...showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory (the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life). Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan!"

In that He himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation.

Heb. 4:15; Gen. 3:6; 1 John 2:16; Matt. 4:3-4, 8-10; 1 John 2:16; Heb. 2:18; James 1:12

Temptation is irresistible to us, but not to Him.
