Paid A.P. &G. $2.00 for load. Ordered $2.00 worth more coal. Took Papa home with me. Aunt Annah spending the day with Mrs. Hughes. Indexed and filed. Gave Skin brown overcoat. Ok, not sure how long this will last this week, but on a little more of a routine schedule tonight. So, Skin, Bonnie's brother got a job at Hurst's grocery. Good for him. Apparently riding on that truck was cold and he needed an overcoat. I was impressed in some earlier posts that Bonnie paid some bills for some other people. Today's Bible reading was about Balaam from the book of Numbers. It's a neat story with a talking donkey, but I often have trouble getting the point. Brian Hardin though, from Daily Audio Bible did a really good job today of providing a devotional at the end of the reading that explained it better. Sometimes we get enticed by friends, co-workers,...the world, to go against what God is telling us and simply to avoid conflict or embarrassment we are tempted to go along with them. Even when we say "No" they may want us to look at it from a different angle. Or when we really want something that goes against God's word, we will try and rationalize from lots of different angles. We must stay true to what God tells us.
