Brrrrrr! I woke up this morning to an apartment that had reached 62 degrees. It got chilly last night and I’m trying to save electricity, so I am refraining from turning on the heat, but tonight might be the breaking point. I’m not sure if it’s worth going inside if your home temperature is in the fifties. For that matter, this cold weather has made my job a little more interesting. Actually, it’s not interesting at all. I’m out there, freezing, and the people in their homes do not want to open their front door and let all the cold air in. That makes for bad business for me. So, due to the combination of that and the holidays, I am not making very much money right now, so I am going to continue to look for another job (possibly one that is indoors). I’m dropping off a resume today and I will continue to try to do that in the future.
So what else? Well, I’ve begun my study on the Christmas story. I’ve decided to begin by listening to a series of sermons by the great Tom Nelson. I have enjoyed listening to him because he usually takes a different angle on the matter. For instance, yesterday he taught out of Luke 11:21-23….not your typical Christmas passage. He preached on how the birth of Christ was not just a miraculous act of grace that took place in a quiet manger, but instead, that it was a military maneuver designed to destroy the enemy. It was a very interesting perspective on a holiday that we tend to label as “peaceful”, when in fact it was probably a wretched night for Satan.
I wish I could say more, but I’ve got places to be, so until next time, turn on the ol’ heater!
