Dec 2nd - Another Nice Day - For Early December

Wednesday morning was our Men's Fellowship at Tammy's, a local restaurant. There were only 5 of us. 1 guy had a dental appointment, 2 others were sick and 1 guy had to work. We have breakfast and catch up on what we have been doing since we last saw each other at church, or last weeks Fellowship. We normally stretch that into almost an hour and then spend another 45-60 minutes of study time. We are currently working our way through the book of James. This weeks study was on James 3:1-5. It was on the damage we can do with our tongues. What we say is probably what is in our heart. We need to be careful about the words that flow from out mouths and the ideas we have in our hearts. We always have a good time.

Wednesday evening Kathy & I attended a study based on Billy Graham's book on angels. The group usually meets every 2 weeks. It is an interesting, thought provoking book. I missed the first 2 meetings and will probably miss the next one but I still get a lot out of just reading the book.

Thursday AM we took my truck into town to have the rubber suspension bumpers replaced and have new shocks installed. A young guy who recently started attending our church, along with his very pregnant wife and 2 children, owns and oil change and auto repair shop in Jefferson City. I had him do the work. Thursday evening Kathy attended a Bible study at a house down the road from us. I went with her once. It is mostly ladies. They scared me 😁.

I spent 3 hours today working on the garage door at our church parsonage. No one lives in the parsonage, it is used for a young adults Sunday School class. One time when I was up doing some work at the church I noticed that the garage door torsion spring support had broken loose and the door could not be opened. After 3 hours the door will not open manually. It has an electric door opener on it but I'm sure the "I'm from the government and I'm here to make sure you don't do anything to hurt yourself" limit switches need adjusted. We go along without such limit switches for decades but I guess the government thinks the younger generations are to ignorant to be able to safely open and close a garage door.

There was a purpose to my working on the door. When I was previously in the garage I noted an antique riding lawn mower stored in it. No one could remember the last time it had been used. I offered to get it out of the garage if the church wanted to get rid of it, and was told OK. I will haul it to Tom's when I go to TN next week. I'm sure that with with some of his TLC he will either get it running again or use some parts off it to put another old mower back in action.

Time to go upstairs and love on Lydia. Kathy picked her up from preschool this afternoon.
May God bless you and yours.
