HISTORY
Father Francisco Dumetz named San Bernardino on May 20, 1810, feast day of St. Bernardino of Siena.
San Bernardino County was formed from parts of Los Angeles County in 1853. Parts of the county's territory were given to Riverside County in 1893.
The Franciscans gave the name San Bernardino to the snowcapped peak in Southern
California, in honor of the saint and it is from him that the county derives its name.[2]

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
SMILE
What makes you smile? A bright sunny day? The laughter of the children? Sitting watching a movie and eating popcorn? A walk on the beach? What is it? Seeing the flowers bloom? Spending time with family and loved ones? Is it laughing out loud, louder than you’ve ever laughed before? What is it that makes you smile? Is it knowing you have at least one friend who has your back? Is it believing if family can be there, they will be?
Life is beautiful, God is good! We have so many reasons to smile. It’s time we stop letting things that have the potential to take away our smile win. God smiles on us each day we live, so why not smile back at Him? Why not look at the things that seem to be tearing us a part and simply, smile. We can smile because God never stops smiling. God is never intimidated by the things we go through in life, He simply smiles and says, “I got this! I’m working it together for your good.” Then He says, “Will you trust Me enough to smile?”
Often times we take for granted the things and people who make us smile. We trade things that naturally make us smile for things that bring a temporary smile. Don’t do it! Recognize where your smile comes from, appreciate it and smile! We all have issues, problems and distractions, but for right now, forget about it, look back at God and smile!
Come on, you can do it, say “cheese” and smile!
