Tammy's Notes: March Events

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,

My soul shall be joyful in my God;

For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,

And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Isaiah 61:10

I am absolutely amazed that the stars we see are the same ones Abraham saw....the celestial lights are true witnesses for all generations.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens

to divide the day from the night;

and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years.

Genesis 1:14

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. http://www.piday.org/
