We got a new area rug for the living room. We also got together with some friends for dinner. I was asleep by midnight.

Colossians 1:15-18
15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
NKJV

Every December, we get several catalogs from seed companies… actually, the word “several” doesn’t really capture it. I am sure our mailman hates us. We have a select few from which we order and the rest we toss. Some of them are amusing to look through with their outrageous claims of a plentiful bounty of gargantuan sized and strangely colored vegetables.

I gave Kari Four-Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long for Christmas (I wanted to read it too). It has me interested in doing some Winter gardening next season, so I was looking through the catalogs again this evening with an eye out for vegetables that would be suitable.

Kari told me about a website called Dave’s Garden. Particularly the section of the site that has user reviews of gardening sources called The Garden Watchdog. There are thousands of reviews, and most of them are very thorough and helpful. The mail-order companies that are being reviewed occasionally respond to bad reviews.

Mark 12:17
17And Jesus answered and said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
And they marveled at Him.

We had some visitors today that brought us this monstrous squash.

Philippians 4:8
8Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
NKJV

I made a flash diffuser for my camera after reading this how-to article in a forum.

Philippians 4:6
6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Back to work. The fact that half the company is still on vacation takes some of the sting out of it. Unfortunately, it seems like the most annoying and needy people never take any vacation.

I ate this banana.

Philippians 3:20-21
20For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
NKJV
