Work Day 28 - RG Project

It didn't rain, it went south of us. So at 10 I was at Round Grove working on the northwest corner of the building. There is a stairwell in the stage and we needed some of the scaffolding to have a platform to reach the block from.

Anyhow it took about 2 hours and I got it down far enough so we can reach it from the outside. We loaded up 40 block into the back of the truck along with the last of the scaffolding and I was done there. I went home and unloaded the block, showered, ate lunch, dug up a rhubarb plant for a Sister at church, she picked it up and then I took the scaffolding back to my friend.

I was tired and had enough for the day so I took a 30 mile joy ride. Bought a Mt. Dew and a candy bar and went north. Driving helps me to unwine, clears my head. When I get back home what do I do? more work. A wood corner fence post, pulling weeds, filling holes in the ditch from the snow plow, and a little mowing and mulching. Now it was about 5:30 and although I could see another dozen things that I want to get done, I go in the house.

I've been thinking about church yesterday. It's ... odd. It is kind of like going home after you have live away, like off to college, or just moved out. Home stays the same, we change.

In Sunday School the lesson was on Moses and how the children of Israel, needed to have things to remind them of God. They must of had really short memories, and easily distracted. So anyhow the teacher is going on how we should have things in our home to remind us of the Lord. Pictures of the Temples, prophets, church mags.... you get the idea. Its good to have those things around. But they don't stop you from doing wrong. You choose who you want to be and how you want to act.

And to forget God. I have talk to other people that have quite conversations with God all of the time. Some people like to drive and talk. That seems to be the most poplar. Now I will admit that most of us don't get Him talking back. At least not in the regular way. But many feel that it helps them make decisions or that they feel inspiration. They fine it helpful in their lives to have this kind of relationship with Him. To be able to talk to Him like He is your best friends

My point is that if you have a good relationship with God, then you really don't need your home plaster with reminders. Put God first, trust in Him, have some faith, things work out. You do the best you can with what happens in your life. That is all you can do and all He wants you to do. Maybe I am oversimplifying this? I don't know. But at church it like they are into the mechanics of it and miss the point of church. To be closer to God and to be as much like Christ as we can.

I know it is going to take me a little time to adjust to going to church every Sunday. They have better get me a calling, (a job to do), really quick. I'm more of the giving, serving kind of person. Not the sit in the pew and don't notice me kind of guy.

Tomorrow morning I have a dentist appointment. I should be back from Rockford by 1pm and then I should rototill the garden. My plants are getting big. Oh and fence out the rabbits.
