It’s hard to believe, but today was a totally uneventful day! I worked both stores, helped out Mike, got gas for the car and a book of stamps, then came home to eat a bowl of leftover potato soup. I did a load of laundry and started working on the story I am writing. It’s been a long time since I wrote anything of any length. This won’t be book length but more than 7 or 8 pages. It will take a while to write and edit.
My cousin Deb stopped for the last 3 books in the Jan Karon Mitford series. We talked for a while, and then I listened to First Baptist of Greensburg – Mac was the fill-in speaker. He talked about always speaking with Grace: staying sweet in a sour world. A kind word can build people up. To speak with grace you need to have grace in your heart. What’s inside comes out! 1 – you get grace through salvation; 2 – you need to completely submit. There are four tests for gracious speech: 1) Is it true? 2) is it complete information? 3) Is it necessary? 4) Is it kind? Then there are four choices you have to make and stick to: A) be determined to control your tongue (NOT easy!) B) Only say good things about other people. C) Remember your accountability D) Ask the Lord to help you. If you follow these guides you will be gracious of speech! Good advise!
On this day in 1512 Martin Luther becomes a doctor of theology. In 1782 Cornwallis (British forces) surrender to George Washington at Yorktown, ending the Revolutionary War, and in 1932 Henry Ford gave his first radio speech. (Not much happened anywhere today, apparently!!)
