Very nice Christmas Potluck at St. John’s yesterday.

Ponder… How well you use the consciousness of God in your daily life depends on you, not Him.

The man made KS in good shape & time. Will spend the day today with family down there.

Worked on a few copy jobs yesterday. The office is perfect for doing this. Now, if I could just get things put away so the counters are clear.

I’ve been thinking about salt covenants. The book I mentioned yesterday is quite interesting as well as making sense.

As a child, I remembered men shaking hands on a deal. That handshake was a seal of the deal. No one would think of breaking what had been sealed. I look at today; handshakes have changed. I see them as more of a greeting at times a challenge given than a seal the deal.

I still remember a conversation of 12 yrs past. The man sealed a deal; he gave his word with a handshake. Along came another man who tried to change it, the man told him, “I gave my word, we shook on it.” The other man said, ‘But you didn’t sign anything, I’ll give you more.’ The man said, ‘No, I gave my word.’ To this day, my loss of respect for this man remains. Each time I see him thru eyes that see one who is willing to cheat.

Seems the world has forgotten how to keep a covenant.

I’ll be working in the office today.

I’m reading… Keepers of Salt by Debby Davis. Interesting read and concept.

Entering into a Covenant of Salt means binding oneself to another in utmost loyalty and truthfulness, even suffering death, rather than breaking the covenant. For this very reason, a Covenant of Salt was never done lightly or haphazardly; it deserves serious respect.

The salt covenant is mention 2 times in the bible… Leviticus and 2 Chronicles.

Began week 9 of 25 of intermitant fasting. Down 12#s, slow but sure wins the race.

Cpap…21 days of use…picked up different hose yesterday. We shall see.

Are you paying attention to what’s happening in the world?

Good to wake up in my own bed. Slept like the dead last night. I needed that.

Happy St. Nicholas day!

Deepest sympathy to V and her family on the loss of her father. May he rest in peace.
