January 7. Eighteenth day of winter. Another frigid morning. Filtered sunshine today. Lewis’s 17th spiritual birthday. EBC started the new schedule today with the first service at 8:45. We weren’t able to get there this week for that service, but did get there in time for Sunday school at 10:00. Sunday school was followed by prayer time, choir practice, and fellowship time, after which was the regular morning service in the auditorium from 11:30 to 12:30. Karen C taught the ladies’ class this morning and will be teaching for two more weeks. She started teaching today on self-confrontation vs. self-esteem and a good self image, the latter two being unbiblical. When Karen finishes, Mrs. Ogle will finish up the teaching in the book she had been teaching from. Various volunteers will teach until Pastor Ogle has the plans ready for the new Sunday school program. Hannah (F) S was in our class today with her mother, Susie F. from PNG. Pastor Ogle preached the last sermon on Peter today from Acts 12 about Peter’s deliverance from prison. After church, we came home via SC and filled Christy’s car with gas and Daddy’s mug with coffee at Flying J. It was going on 2:00 before we got home and after 2:30 before we got to nap. This afternoon (what was left of it after a late nap) and this evening, I searched for some crochet patterns online, cooked a zucchini mushroom mix for my supper, cooked greens to go with Daddy’s dinner tomorrow, made icing and frosted the ginger cookies I had made the other day, ate some of the veggies I had cooked, did the dishes, gave Daddy a birthday gift (for his spiritual birthday) and sang happy birthday to him; then we listened to the early morning preaching online. “For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.” Leviticus 11:45 God’s people, whom He delivered from Egypt, were to be holy, because God is holy. We too, have been delivered from Egypt, from the place of bondage, from the bondage of sin and Satan. Therefore we also are to be holy, because our Deliverer is holy. The Lord tells us this in I Peter 1:15,16, “15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
