On This Day in History


November 30, 1954

Meteorite strikes Alabama woman

The first modern instance of a meteorite striking a human being occurs at Sylacauga, Alabama, when a meteorite crashes through the roof of a house and into a living room, bounces off a radio, and strikes a woman on the hip. The victim, Mrs. Elizabeth Hodges, was sleeping on a couch at the time of impact. The space rock was a sulfide meteorite weighing 8.5 pounds and measuring seven inches in length. Mrs. Hodges was not permanently injured but suffered a nasty bruise along her hip and leg.

Ancient Chinese records tell of people being injured or killed by falling meteorites, but the Sylacauga meteorite was the first modern record of this type of human injury. In 1911, a dog in Egypt was killed by the Nakhla meteorite.

Spanish Field Trip

The only way to truly learn a language is to immerse oneself in the culture. Students in Conversational Spanish did just that this weekend as they invested a Sunday in visiting a Spanish church, Spanish restaurant and a home for widows in Miami. At Casa Sobre la Roca, in Miami Lakes, students participated in worship and listened to an energetic sermon on Matthew 7 and the decision we must make to stay on God's path (the narrow path).
 
Students also enjoyed almuerzo at Versailles and they planted a garden, sang praise songs in Spanish and encouraged the elderly widows at Casa San Jose (nursing home) by loving on them and keeping them company. We celebrated, one of the lady's 103rd birthday!!! May God use this experience to remind students that God created a myriad of people on earth and learning a second, third, or fourth language...expands our ability to love others and minister the gospel! Jesus came for ALL!
Sincerely,
Senora Peyton

On This Day in History


November 19, 1863

Lincoln delivers Gettysburg Address

On November 19, 1863, at the dedication of a military cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln delivers one of the most memorable speeches in American history. In just 272 words, Lincoln brilliantly and movingly reminded a war-weary public why the Union had to fight, and win, the Civil War.

Reception of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was initially mixed, divided strictly along partisan lines. Nevertheless, the "little speech," as he later called it, is thought by many today to be the most eloquent articulation of the democratic vision ever written.

 

The Word of God for the Day

 

1 Corinthians 13:5   It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

The Official CCA Bad Joke of the Day

 

 

A ship was carrying 1000 gallons of red paint and 1000 gallons of black paint.  It crashed into an island and the whole crew was marooned.

GAME RESULTS REPORT

Date of game: 11/16/09

Head Coach: Marcel Bombonato

Team/Level: Varsity Girls Soccer

Opponent: ZION

Score: 4x1

CCA win or loss: WIN

 

 

Carli Deibel opened the score with a shot from outside of the area in the first half. I reminded the team about their desire to play, their passion for the Lord, and all sacrifice through last practice...and encouraged them to play a bit more 'together' in order to score more goals. Only 5 minute in the 2nd half, Karly Palmar score a goal...minutes later ZION score their goal...which lead out Lady eagles to shut the defense. Kaitlyn Webb and Karly Palmer score one goal each, leading the Eagles 4x1.

 

At the end of the match, I share 1 Cor 2:2 - "For I have determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ and Him crucified"....followed by prayer... the team connected one on one with the other players.... and i did with the coaches... Both team prayed, fellowship and broke down in laughter after the match. The coach from ZION said "this has been the best school we played so far, sportsmanship and Christ-like attitude displayed, well done coach." we went home knowing that God did something beyond soccer in our lives...

 

********************************

Date of game: 11/17/09

Head Coach: Marcel Bombonato

Team/Level: Varsity Girls Soccer

Opponent: Yeshiva

Score: 5x1

CCA win or loss: WIN

 

 

The team was fired-up for the match, and Carli Deibel, again, opened the score board with an amazing goal from out of the box. Over the half time break, I encouraged the team to stop looking for reason to be different, our team felt the aggressiveness on the field and different 'uniforms shapes'...but once more I reminded them to stay focus on their call. Karly Palmar score two goals, Kaitly Webb scored one, and Stephanie Segal scored one as well.

 

At the end of the match we lined up to shake hands with the opponent and I felt the aggressiveness on my own bare hands... also the school did not want to spend any time together after the match which some of our players were discouraged by it. Still Carli Deibel helped a player from Yeshiva to carry to water jugs out of the field.....Carli was supposed to share the Gospel that game, still, she served as an example, by a simple step in faith...she was able to talk and share laughter with a player for Yeshiva.

 

***************************************************

 

 

Date of game: 11-17-09

Level/ Sport: Varsity Boys Basketball

Opponent: Mater Lakes Academy

Both teams met at mid-court and prayed together after the game and several Mater Lakes players thanked the coaches and players for the prayers.
