Snow and Chili weather!
In an earlier entry, I mentioned that on Oct. 25 the historical society was going to use the community center for their annual chili dinner. Mary and I went to the chili dinner, and what a great time it was to get to meet some more new people! Well, they had some chili left over and asked if we would like to have it for our meeting time. Our service last night started with two flavors of great homemade chili, salad, and cupcakes. Everyone who wanted more took some home. Whew, were we ever ready to praise our Savior!
It snowed last Wednesday. We got nine inches in the storm. It was still snowing when I went into the prison for Bible study. I decided these Arizona boys are all from southern Arizona, as only five braved the elements to walk a couple hundred yards to the education building. It really turned out well, as I believe it was all orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. One of the guys who is a very new believer had some questions, and we were able to talk about them easily.
I still get a kick out of some of the corrections officers here. They seem to question why I would show up on such a bad weather day. “Well, you see,” I respond, “I have to be here. No, my boss doesn’t make me, but Jesus compels me. And you know some of these guys really look forward to this time.”
