James 4:13-17

Now Listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and making money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will we will live and do this or that.” As it is you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.

James 4:13-17

GOOD MORNING!!!!

Well today I helped serve breakfast at the homeless shelter in town. I always do enjoy it. Waking up when it is dark and my car is frozen shut, then picking up Seth and today Chanelle and Hannah, and driving to the shelter. We walk in and are the first in the kitchen (most of the time, today not so much). I am always tired until I start running around doing stuff. Everything is of course made in bulk. We make more eggs, pancakes, potatoes, and whatever else then I have probably seen in my life time. Today we used 18 cups of pancake mix and 12 1/4 cups of water to make the pancakes and we ran out of pan cakes (good thing it was a side today). I love the bonding part of cooking. What makes me sad is seeing the people. I know they are there for a reason but sometimes I wish they could find a way to not be homeless. And the kids... That is the worst for me. I pray that they will be able to find a way out.
Well now I am at work, listening to one of my most favorite songs ever! Give Us Clean Hands by Kutless. My favorite part is “Give us clean hands, Give us pure hearts, Let us not lift our soles to another... Oh God let us be a Generation that seeks, seeks your face of God of Jacob.” Such a good song! This is kind of a prayer for my life....

Well I better start homework!
