This past weekend, here where we live,
was just a bit of discombobulated mixed up weather.
One day it was warm & muggy,
the next icy cold and downright frigid!
As I was trying to dress one day,
I mentioned in not so despairing tones,
"I just wish I could call the time and temperature guy.
You know, back in the day, we'd just call him up,
he'd tell us what to expect for the day, the forecasted
highs and lows, and the current temperature.
I hate looking up the local weather online,
or turning on the tv and waiting to see our
current weather conditions.
I want it like it used to be!"
(no, I don't have an iphone, don't need one)
I left the dining room,
went to our room to dress for the day.
Our house felt cool inside but Mr. C kept warning
me that outside it was muggy and warmer than usual.
I forgot something, ran back to the kitchen passing the
dining room on the way... and there lay this note.
My darling man had found that
Mr. Time & Temp was still in business,
and had even called him for me!
He even wrote the number down for me,
so now I can call him anytime I need to.
Going back to a trusted way,
the old way, before laptops,
iphones, ipads and smart phones.
That's what I prefer.
Especially when it comes to books.
The trusted, tried and true authors.
The ones who have stood the test of time.
The ones who we do not have to wonder about,
why they said this or that?
Unlike so many authors today who make us wonder...
why are they mixing false in with the true?
If I'm going to read anything besides my Bible,
I prefer sticking to those who have been proven
to be sound in their doctrine.
We live in precarious times.
Be careful friends who you trust
when it comes to your choice of authors,
who you are learning from.
Also,
it is important to remember,
that it is ok for trusted teachers to warn us
of those who are faltering in their teaching.
It's sad to say, but more and more once trusted teachers
are slipping.
Compare what others are saying with the Word of God.
As long we keep to scripture, know it, live by it,
and let it be our guide, we will not slip.

and the duty of discerment.

I pray for my sisters in Christ, especially the next generation.
I pray they learn to stand on the solid ground of God's Word,
always going back to where God first taught us His truth
for our daily lives
