September 1st is the start of a new liturgical year for the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Eastern Catholic Church (Byzantine). It is also Saint Giles Day in the Church of England, Knowledge Day in Russia, Teachers’ Day in Singapore, Independence Day for Uzbekistan and the First Day of Spring in Australia and New Zealand.
Here in Canada many of us becoming grumpy that it feels like summer is over and winter is on its way. School starts soon and teachers like my son and daughter in law report to their schools for some preliminary meeting today.
Comedian and actress Lily Tomlin celebrates her 70th birthday today and ‘Dr. Phil’ McGraw is 59.




And you can find a lot about September 1 at Wikipedia.
Have a great first day of September.
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. 17 I thought in my heart,God will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time for every deed." Ecclesiastes 3:1-8,17
