It’s cold in Atlanta but all the snow is south of the metro area.

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.

Do you know about the little Jesus figures? I think I first saw them back in the summer when we had a Gideon speaker. He just kept pulling them out of different pockets and lining them up on the table. Below left is one I discovered at a Marathon station in Rome, GA. Below right is a sampling of the box of 100 I ordered from Amazon. I have handed them out at church, our city council meeting and to everyone I work with. And, just like the one I picked up that goes with me everywhere, I sometimes leave one here and there for others to find. Because everybody needs a little Jesus.

I’ve been hesitant to share this image because of the misspelling. But it’s a turtle drinking coffee, journaling and wishing you well so there’s plenty of upside.
This is Happy Monday #608.
