"There are people who have money and people who are rich." - Coco Channel

Years ago my home church in Seattle funded and arranged for me to go there and film a video series based on my first book, Understanding Your Bible - An Introduction to Dispensationalism. The project was my first (and only) experience with filming and a lot of fun. The 30 or so people where formed the class were what I call active listeners and I almost forgot there were two cameras recording the 12 sessions. When the classes and filming were all done it was professionally edited and pun on to VHS tapes an individual or group could use as a Bible study series.
A few months ago I got an email from a lady who said a women's group from their church was using the videos and asked permission to post the video sessions on You Tube so someone who missed a meeting could watch the video from home. Absolutely!
In return I asked if she'd send me a photo of their group. "Yes, but understand we're all old ladies."
Instead of a photo I got a video of their gathering. I'd forgotten I had it on my computer and came across it this morning. Fun to see the videos still in use.
I tried to post the video here but the file is too big and it's been SO long since I used iMovie that I tried but couldn't get it trimmed and saved.

I had PT again this morning. I'm not feeling as good as I did after Wednesday's appointment but I suppose I should expect stops and starts of improvement. There's still a lot less pain than I had five days ago!

Today's high and tomorrow's will be 15 degrees apart. We're preparing to fire up the new wood stove for its maiden burn. The manual says that the first time we need to open all the doors and windows, get a hot fire (400 F) for 45 minutes and then a hotter fire (600 F) for an additional 45 minutes. That process "cures" the paint. The reason for the open doors and windows is the possibility of non-toxic but stinky fumes this first time.
I'll let you know.

The people are the best part.
In the pet peeve department: people who have no curiosity to learn about other individuals, who can only talk about themselves. Everyone has a story and most people will open up with theirs if given the opportunity. It's a learned skill - knowing what to ask and when. Most people never get asked about their story so when someone else does they're often pretty eager to share theirs.
And that is, IMO, a key part of evangelism. Maybe THE key.
The provision of salvation is the ultimate expression of interest and concern by God. His ambassadors need to get over their own narcissism and show a genuine interest in others.
OK, sermon over.

Sally's front end has recently started squeaking loudly as I drive. I think I need to climb under there and find all the zerk fittings and make sure they're lubricated. Do that laying on a gravel driveway.
Or maybe find a lube joint that knows what a zerk fitting is and has the grease gun to service them.
Yeah, I'm going to have to do it myself.

When I was a kid we often had corn on the cob with dinner. I remember the skewers we used to hold the corn lest we get melted butter all over our hands. Messy was not allowed at our house.

I'm not sure why but at our house you always ate your corn on the cob after you'd finished everything else. When your plate was empty of all of the rest of dinner you inserted the skewers, buttered your corn (unless you were under 16 and then it was done for you), and ate the corn.

Tonight Pam fried up some chicken, made a really good tossed salad, and had corn on the cob.
I ate it after the rest of my dinner. I think I might choke on the corn and die if I ate it before I'd finished everything else. Some sort of cosmic rule that cannot be violated under penalty of death.
