Still cold.  I’m sure it’s because I’m more in tune with it, and God has given me a heart to care more about it, but I am hearing more about what good people are doing to reach out to the homeless, especially in this bitter weather.  Police, cab drivers, churches, as well as the volunteers serving at the agencies are all going out of their way into the cold spending their own money and time to take care of the homeless.  Such a blessing to see God at work.

Today I led a morning and an evening session of Bible study at the Transitional House.  We talked about the Ebenezer stone, a riff on Paster Tim’s sermon.   To get there, I talked them through a high level overview of Bible history up to the time of Samuel.   They were forthcoming in saying that they loved hearing the stories in the Bible, which is a very healthy thing to want that kind of study.  I’m getting to know some of these ladies better.   It’s another world than the one that I was privileged to be raised in.  It’s a fallen world for sure, and a flat out miracle that these ladies have survived and now are so full of joy and gratitude.  They are the blessing for me, and such evidence of God at work.
