  Today in History: Paul Revere’s Legendary Ride 

  240 years ago today, as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, “the fate of the nation was riding” in a literal and figurative sense, on Paul Revere. At least, that’s what popular legend would have us believe.

  But how accurate is the tale? The basics of Longfellow’s poem ring true. On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere rode through Middlesex County to warn of approaching British soldiers. But Longfellow’s account takes a little creative license on some of the more glamorous aspects of the historical night. I’ve added…is this anything like the creative license the Government takes?…but I digress…

  According to OldNorth.com, the historical site of the legendary Old North Church, the true events were “far more interesting.” Here’s a game of fact or fiction for the anniversary of this piece of local, and national, history.

  And you can read these at  Paul Revere’s Legendary Ride.

  2 Interesting days in History 

  U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the U.S. was assassinated in Ford’s Theater by John Wilkes Booth on April 14th, 1865 at approx. 10:25 PM. He actually died early the next morning at 7:22 AM.

  On this day, April 14th, 1912 the RMS Titanic hits an iceberg at 11.40pm off Newfoundland and dubbed “the unsinkable” ship sank the next day at approx. 2:27 AM off Newfoundland as the band played on.

  And In what came to be known as “Black Sunday,” one of the most devastating storms of the 1930s Dust Bowl era swept across the region on April 14th. High winds kicked up clouds of millions of tons of dirt and dust so dense and dark that some eyewitnesses believed the world was coming to an end.

  Happy birthday Vivaldi 

  Vivaldi was born in Venice in 1678, and became master of the violin at the age of 25. Vivaldi was a celebrated musical figure during his lifetime, but his fame has only risen since his death in July 28th, 1741.

  Despite his immense popularity, Vivaldi passed away in 1741 a poor man. Like many other older composers of the time, his music was becoming outdated, and he was forced to sell many of his manuscripts to support himself when he failed to maintain a steady source of income. He died of “internal infection” and was buried in a grave supplied by the public hospital fund in Vienna.

  My favorite of his compositions, The Four Seasons. Not just the beautiful music but the way it incorporates God’s creation into a true masterpiece. The Four Seasons’ Represented A New Way Of Writing Music and drew inspiration from Vivaldi’s time in the rural region of Mantua, Italy. The music depicts the varying auditory experiences of winter, spring, summer and fall. In it, Vivaldi managed to give individual voices to the landscape (creeks, frozen bodies of water, crackling fires), the wildlife (various species of birds, dogs, and insects) and the people, at one point musically illustrating a hunting party from both the perspective of the predators and the prey. Other sound effects that he replicated included the buzzing of mosquitoes and the chattering of teeth in the winter.

  The Texas Declaration of Independence, 3-2-1836 & some food for thought… 

  The Texas Declaration of Independence was produced, literally, overnight, March 1st, 1836. It’s urgency was paramount, because while it was being prepared, the Alamo in San Antonio was under siege by Santa Anna’s army of Mexico. It was briefly reviewed, then adopted by the delegates of the convention the following day, March 2nd. The transcript contains statements on the function and responsibility of government, followed by a list of grievances. Yes, this is a declaration of Independence from Mexico, but as you read the document notice how closely it aligns to many of the fears, concerns and grievances many have of our current Government and leadership.

  By stating this I am not advocating anything other than this…Unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain to build it and…there is a way which seems right unto man, but it’s end is the journey and way of death. 

  What side are we on? This is a good question to ask ourselves and it reminded me of Joshua Chapter 5:13,14 Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us or for our adversaries?” He said, “Neither; rather I indeed come now as captain of the host of the LORD.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, “What has my lord to say to his servant?”

  What should we do?…

  Hebrews 2:1-3-For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty, how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?

  2 Chronicles 7:14
