CLOCK WATCHERS

Shortly after he opened his first plant, Thomas Edison noticed that his employees had gotten intothe bad habit of watching the factory clock, which was the only clock in the plant.

To the indefatigable inventor who never thought about the time a task took, this wasincomprehensible. He did not express his disapproval verbally. Instead he had dozens of clocksinstalled all around the plant. His goal was not to make it easier for his workers to see a clock. Hemade sure that no two clocks had the same time. Soon clock watching led to so much confusion thatnobody cared what time it was.

I have a suspicion that one reason that God does not tell us when the second coming will be is thatHe knows we are clock-watchers. Just as people were busy thinking about how much time they hadleft at work until lunch break, so we might be tempted to focus only on getting ready when the timewas near. Instead we are called to be the people of God every minute of every day - not to get readybut to be ready.

Michael MossHouse to House/Heart to Heart

Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man iscoming at an hour you do not expect.

Matthew 24:44

Prepare Yourself For The 2015 Ladies Retreat

Read Proverbs 31:13-16

Food For Thought: Household tasks today differ fromthose of ancient time but God’s instruction still applies.The wife is charged with the care of the home. Thisinvolves keeping the house clean, doing laundry, andpreparing meals. By seeking God first, the virtuouswoman is able to provide both the spiritual and naturalfood for her family. Planning and organizing are bothnecessary skills, but so is persistence and hard work.

We are all saddened by the lossof two of our members recently.Sister Virginia Saint passedaway last Saturday, January3rd. Her funeral was held onSunday at Scottsboro Funeral

Home with burial at Pinehaven Memorial Gardens.Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to her family in theirtime of sorrow.
