October 11. I had started making up our shopping list this morning when Daddy and I decided that we would go out and do some of our extra shopping today so we wouldn’t have so much to do tomorrow. First of all, we took some bags of goods to donate to Crossroads and shopped there for a new vase for the utensils. Next stop was Verizon to pay the phone bill. Then Mighty Dollar to find some embellishments for a baby layette. Daddy also got bread there, and I got a gift bag. Ran over to Big Lots to use the restroom and get a snack. Had a nice chat with the cashier Kim as we checked out. Last stop was the discount food mart where we got some protein bars, cereal, and ground beef. After we got home, I made a casserole with the leftover chicken and mashed potatoes and a few veggies. While it was cooking, I put the embellishments on the baby hat, finished making up the shopping list for tomorrow, printed the list out, and wrote down some notes for a friend about sites to look at for insurance. This afternoon, I started looking through Pidgin Acts to see how the grammar and sentence structure is so it will be ready for us to proofread together. Had an early supper and then did the dishes. Christy left around 6:00 for church so she could pick up Cindie, and we left about 6:15 so we could pick up Sara W. Good teaching this evening from Exodus 27 on the brazen altar. Brass— a symbol of judgment. Acacia — the only type of tree growing in the wilderness where they traveled; water and insect repellent; dense and strong. Largest piece of tabernacle furniture and first piece to be seen. Place where sin was judged; constant reminder of cost of sin. Ever smoking, ever blood-stained, ever open. The sacrificial lamb had no sin of its own. The work of the priests in offering sacrifices was never done. The lamb — a picture of Jesus, the Lamb of God; a lamb of sacrifice, a lamb of sustenance, a lamb of service. A sweet smell to God and satisfaction for our redemption. “You must never minimize God’s holiness or His demand for righteousness.” Don’t ever let the sacrifice at Calvary get old. How has the Lamb of God not impacted your life? “7Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him: 8With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.” II Chronicles 32:7,8 What a wonderful example for us to rest ourselves upon the words of our God, the King of kings! He is always with us to help us and to fight our battles. October 12. As soon as I had finished quiet time and breakfast this morning, we headed out for Aldi and WalMart to do our weekly shopping. After arriving home and getting our food put away, I spent the rest of the morning updating the e-mail section of our newsletter address list. Christy had given me a list of all the e-mail addresses she had, and I found that quite a few of them weren’t on my list and a couple of them needed to be deleted. Daddy printed out a form today for financial assistance for the medical care he had this past January at the emergency room of the KM hospital. He found out that they want to know, not only our total income, but the total amount we have in savings and checking. Since we have been saving up quite a bit for our return to PNG, we saw that they would surely believe that we have sufficient funds to pay the bill. Therefore, resting on God’s promise in II Chronicles 25:9, we made up a cover letter to go with the payment which we will send. Have sent a copy of that letter to Pastor Ogle to see what he thinks. We want the letter to be kind enough to be able to send a gospel tract with it. Cooked up a large skilletful of zucchini, mushroom, and onions for supper. Yum! Quite a mountain of dishes to do this evening. Had to have Daddy dry a few so I would have room for the rest. “1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. 2Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. 3Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. 4For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.” Psalm 33:1-4 If we are upright, we should rejoice, because praise is comely for the upright. We are to sing unto the LORD a new song, and play skilfully with a loud noise (if we play an instrument) because the word of the LORD is right, and all his works are done in truth. Truly we have much about which to sing and praise.
