Wore long underwear today.  Took coats that a friend from church brought for the Mission.  Let a man into the shelter to wait–wasn’t supposed to let him into that particular area, but I didn’t care.  He needed to be inside, not outside, the shelter.  We fed people stranded at the bus station–another good work that NRM does when needed.  I’m finding out neat things all the time.  Nashville Rescue Mission is on the news every night because our staff and volunteers go out and try to get people to come in off the park bench and doorway to get a warm bed and hot meal.

I meant to follow up with another friend whose son is in jail for a DUI, but forgot because I called Dad first, only to find that their furnace is going out–on a night when it’s supposed to drop to zero!  I went over there, thinking that I would take them home with me, but Mom was already in bed and Dad had heaters going and was manually keeping the furnace going so it was actually in the mid-60’s.  He didn’t want to move her.  Then the next door neighbor came over to check on them which also made me feel better.

So I went home and worked on a Bible Study for tomorrow, using content from the sermon on Sunday.  I also worked on my annual jig saw puzzle.
