December 13. A very cold morning, and a strong, cold wind blowing this afternoon. Post Office truck was here at 7:00 this morning to deliver a parcel with a fleece blanket I had ordered with my birthday money. I was disappointed in the order, however, as the blanket, even though king size, was too short for our queen bed, and it didn’t have the fleece lining that I expected. So we packed it back up, and made arrangements to return it to the company. Ordered another which cost a little more, but looks like it will be more acceptable. I was glad that we were able to work on checking Pidgin John for about an hour this morning. After that, I started making soup—tater soup today, along with some carrots, celery, napa cabbage, and onion. While I was getting the soup made, Daddy went off to Gaffney to pick up C&C’s raw milk. This afternoon and evening, I finished crocheting the washcloth, made corrections in the Pidgin John file, and set up the new corrections in the print file. “And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.” Exodus 32:1 If we trust in a man to be our deliverer, we will always be disappointed, and most often will go farther away from the Lord as we seek to find an answer to our problems. December 14. Shopping didn’t take us too long today so that was a blessing. Didn’t really have to buy much groceries. Went to Office Max first to get envelopes and ink for the newsletters. Got the envelopes, but when we saw how much the ink cost for Christy’s printer, we decided we would do the printing on our printer. I was excited to find a box of 72 Sharpie markers of all kinds and colors — fine point, ultra-fine point, metallic, and neon –- marked down from $69.99 to $19.99. Bought a couple packs of markers from the mark down section. We were also able to buy postage stamps at Office Max which saved us a stop at the Post Office. After Office Max, we did our Aldi and WalMart shopping and were finished and on our way home by 10:30. After putting food away, there was some time to look at the Shelby Shopper online to see if they had anything for sale or rent that would be suitable for our needs, but didn’t find anything. This afternoon, we took a bag of crocheted scarves and hats to Crossroads Rescue Mission and took a parcel to UPS to be returned to the company we ordered it from. Christy talked to a couple lenders. At least some steps are being made toward serious searching. “2And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 3And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD. 6And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.” Exodus 32:2-6 As servants of the Lord, we must be very careful about making decisions based on what the people like unless we diligently seek God’s will and are very sure that their desires are pleasing to God and in line with His word. Otherwise we will be accountable for leading people into sin or encouraging them in the wrong choices that they make.
