On August 31, 1935, Aleksei Stachanov reportedly mined 102 tonnes (112 tons) of coal in six hours. A diligent Russian miner, Stachanov became involved in a campaign for increasing worker productivity as part of the Socialist movement. He was hailed as a hero, awarded several medals, and given more responsibility. His picture even appeared on Time magazine December 16, 1935. In the time since, questions have been raised as to the validity of the claims that he had actually done the work by himself. How to celebrate today? Today is a great day to try to do the impossible. Is there a difficult task you’ve been dreading? Tackle it today. Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but were afraid to try? Make the effort today. Make today your day!
Luke 1:37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”
