What a relief in the temperature this morning, Monday, July 22, in Zanesville, Ohio, at 73 degrees. The hot weather has not effected me since I moved from Ohio in 2006 to San Saba and hotter in San Fernando, Mexico, for mission work. The hot temperatures have been described as 'hotter than a firecracker,' 'hot as a fried egg,' and 'hotter than hell.' I have seen a hot firecracker and an egg, but I don't want to see how hot hell is! The Presidential election is 'heating up,' but this column will not go into politics.
My companion cat Dinah and I are on our porch where we hear birds chirping, flying and walking around. Bugs crawl on the outside of the screen. Dinah reaches for them, and they fly away. Dinah needs lots of attention today because I was away for four days with my daughter visiting my granddaughter and family in Franklin, Tennessee.
In the devotional The Word for you Today on July 11th, the title is Are You A Workaholic?... God measures with a different yardstick. He won't ask about your politics or the color of your skin but about the quality of your character. Proverbs 3:6 TLB...Put God first, and He will crown your efforts with success.
