Bible Note: No, actually I work outside, trying to at least from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. -weather permitting. This is getting hard to do for a 52 yr old, but I enjoy it, and it gives me winter months off for much more satisfying pursuits, such as the study of Old Testament Greek. We all need to have something to be thankful for! I live in Wisconsin. I work mostly in an area about 12" below the ground level. -Lots of walking and digging, but the upside is, when I am on my knees, with my hands in the wet, muddy clay, I am furnished with a wonderful opportunity to praise God for not only giving me the capacity and skills to be a servant, but giving me the desire to do so. For what better position could there be for me, a servant to be in, but upon ones knees, with my hands in the soil from which I was made? ! No, I have never been a third shifter, but have worked for years on 24 hour call, in Wyoming and Louisiana, and Missouri. May God bless you, as you diligently seek Him Adam Jr. |
