It was nice to have ten days "off" for Christmas and New Years. Phil and Sharon visited for part of the time; Karen had a few days of keeping up with the correspondence in the Madison Discipleship School; it rained quite a bit and it was generally warm and un-wintery; we dressed in shorts most of the time; slept "in" almost every day; ate a bunch; played games; went to Sunday School and Church; took a few long walks; moved our motor home; and today we went back to work.
I raked some ditches, filled a small truck-load of tree limbs which had fallen from the leafless trees and then promptly fell asleep in the motor home as I sat down to write this blog entry. For the next two nights we expect the temperature to drop into the low 20's, so I did insulate the water hose in the hope we will not need to unhook, rehook, unhook and rehook or use the water pump and run a heater in the bin as we generally do in cold weather. In any event we are glad we are not having to endure the Colorado or Arkansas winter which has been almost steadily cold and wet. We have just had the wet part, and a lot of it.
It was nice to have the time "off", but it was good to have a few things to do today to get back into the routine we have committed to. Tomorrow we will have a half day of prayer for the Mission and the activities of SLMI around the world, for the missionaries, branches, associate schools and printing, discipling, and church-planting activities we support.
Again, Happy New Year, let the work continue, God's Will be done and His Kingdom expand and impact the world and each of our sphere's of influence within it. To Him be the glory.
