James 4:13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
I had a gentle reminder of this portion of scripture today at work. I was thinking the job I was on may last a long time but found out differently today. Our company will be letting us boilermakers go sometime around the 1st of the year and bring in another boilermaker company to finish the job. The sad part our company has been very pleased with the job we have done the last 10 weeks but we will suffer because the other crafts on the job have not been productive enough. There is a chance we will be able to switch over to the new company but we will have to wait and see who that is first. A gentle reminder that we don't even know what will happen tomorrow much less weeks from now. I am glad my security is not in a company or a job. My security is in the Lord of this universe who is on the throne and in control of all aspects of my life.

Happy Thanksgiving
Was telling a friend at work today about blogging and was reminded that I have neglected my own blog now for several months. I have been busy working these last 10 weeks and am thankful for my job. I have enjoyed getting to know the guys on my job and we have a good time together while getting our jobs done.
Thursday Benita and I will leave for Illinois to spend Thanksgiving (AKA My 56th birthday) with her family. I will play in a 2 day scrabble tournament while I am there and come back on Sunday. She will spend the time with her Dad and Sisters and come back on Tuesday. That reminds me I need to finish up here and buy her a plane ticket for her return trip. Lord Bless
