Is the name of the job I got about 2 hrs away from home... It started when I posted my resume on Monster.com , and I got a call from a staffing company called "Aerotek"..and they said, a place literally called John B. Sanfillipo which makes almost anything to do with peanuts, including peanut butter, is hiring electricians (Oh yea..Talking about one happy dude...mixing work and food in this case is almost nirvana.. cause I love me some peanuts and peanut butter :)
So anyways there is somewhat of a bad side to it all, as well as a good side...for one its not the safest place in the world..today policemen came to the job site and arrested one of the guys there...I not long after that found out that most of the people that I work with have criminal records. For 2, its not permanent, but Aerotek says because they have jobs all over the U.S...I should be able to get another job...For three, Im having to pay motels rates ,which can be expensive, but thats ok, God will provide (Matt.6:33)...Which speaking of that....here is a good side to the whole thing which makes it totally worth it..by staying in a motel in a town I dont know, I have more time to devote to studying, exercising, meditating...and trying to better myself, mainly spiritually speaking.
another vs. that should be carved in our foreheads Psa. 51:10 Create in me a CLEAN heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
I think we all know what the meaning to "clean" is...Without spot, pure, free from evil, Holy etc....Eph. 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
In public or in private...Is everything we Say, Think or Do (col.3:17),Clean or Holy? 1Pet. 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Col. 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
2Pet. 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Am I ready? .....Are you ready for that day?

..A elderly lady at the church I attend has passed away. My mom and I went to the funeral Tuesday, and I was a pallbearer (oldly enough, one of her sons drowned at 16, and his name was also Lloyd). Its always good for me to go to funerals because
Eccl. 7:2 says; It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart....(it makes me think, and want to tighten up spiritually)
Some other scriptures comes to mind..
Psa. 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. (Hallelujah!)
Psa. 39:4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.
Vs.5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
Let us write these vrs on our skulls...
Eccl. 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Vs. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Are you ready to meet God?....Am I?..
