Exactly Similar – That describes when two things are the same only different. This week’s lead in is once again the weather but this time we’re talking about snow in the South and not a crippling ice storm. Athens could see 4 – 5 inches. Where I live, closer to Alabama, will gets bands of snow. There could be 1/2 inch or none at all, while locations nearby could see 1 to 2 inches. Then it will turn cold. Atlanta will stay below freezing from Saturday morning into Monday afternoon.

Superbowl LX is set for Sunday, February 8th, with the Seattle Seahawks playing at the New England Patriots. A lot of people are saying this will be a rematch of when the two met at the Superbowl in 2015 when the Patriots won 28-24.

Winter weather in winter. The image above is what we expect where I live in northwest Georgia. Some 200 million Americans will be affected from Texas and Louisiana all the way up to New York. The problem in the South will be ice and freezing rain. NYC is expected to have the longest streak of days in a row below freezing since 2018. The weather this weekend is no joke.

We Are Busy

I posted this yesterday on Facebook but I want to share it here and then add a bit of additional commentary.

It’s easy to tell just by looking around that we are busier than ever before. We used to work a shift at the mill, all day on a farm, or keep business hours in the city, but even if you worked hard it ended and everyone went home. Now we take work with us and clients/customers/bosses expect to be able to reach us anytime. You can put in a full day, then continue making work calls on your dive home then check and reply to emails once at your house. (I’m going to pretend no one is readying email while driving but I know better.)

I cannot confirm this was the first time ever but those were scores during the 49ers/Bears game this weekend. The 49ers went on to win in overtime. The real games will be Wednesday and Thursday this week as the college football playoffs get good. Indiana vs. Alabama on New Year’s Eve, Georgia vs. Old Miss on New Year’s Day.

We have finished our observance of Advent which ends each year on Christmas Day as we celebrate the birth of Christ. But our little church out in Plainville, GA does not have a Christmas Eve or Christmas Day service so the Christ candle in our wreath has not been lit. I’m going to preach one more sermon, God is in the Manger, tomorrow morning and we are going to light the center tower/Christ candle. No one is going to complain about coming to church and hearing too much about Jesus, right? If so that’s a person I need to have a long talk with anyway.

Hey blog friends, I know it’s a been a while. December is always a busy month and this one has stretched me to the limit, if not slightly past it. Here is a Happy Monday post from 2015. I will drop some tech specs into the comments for my nerd friends.

Enjoy your week, celebrate in whatever way you see fit, do little things that are kind but also that no one knows about. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, God is in the manger.

Good news about the Good News – I find myself a little bit surprised, but in a good way, about the results of this published study. Not only do 74% of pastors report regularly presenting the Gospel, another 11% report doing so two or three times each month and another 3% once a month. There are some other categories of response but the bottom line is that only 1% of SBC pastors say they never offer a gospel presentation. Read the full article here via Christian Index.
