Sharp

 

I like to use sharp sawblades, but they can get expensive.  I buy the Diabolo 60 tooth 10” carbide blades at Home Depot because they are the best ($42 a pop).  I have tried all of the others and found these blades to be superior.  When I get a new blade, I put it onto my Makita miter saw and feel like a new man!  I put the old blade onto my table saw and the old, old blade off the table saw is retired.  I put the retired blade onto the stack of dull blades in my basement.  I found Expert Die and Blade Sharpening in Dalton to be an effective alternative to throwing the old blades away.  Expert Die will sharpen my $42 blade for $12.  So. when I have 4 or 5 blades, I make the trip to south Dalton and have them resharpened.  Hey, God’s Word is compared to a sharp sword in Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”  Use God’s Word today, but be careful when you do because it is really sharp!

Spread the Word

 

Saturday, we had an outreach for our church.  We stuffed clear plastic door hangers with candy and church information distributing them throughout our neighborhood.  I tricked out my pickup truck as an icee truck complete with speakers and the ice cream truck jingle.  I installed a bumper carrier with a cooler, ice shaver, and 8 different icee flavors.  We gave away free icee’s (and a church info packet with each icee).  Folk were genuinely receptive.  We didn’t go door-to-door, we drove up and down the streets and folk came out to us.  Later that afternoon I thought, “I hope several people come to church because of our efforts.”  But then I realized that I had done the right thing whether anyone comes to church or not.  You see, it’s my job to spread the word, but it’s God’s job to convict the heart.  And if I do my part, God certainly will do His part.  Jesus said in Mark 16:15, “… Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”  I believe what Jesus said.  Do you?
