Do like I do. I push the start button on my IRobot and read while  it does my vacuuming. One and half free hours each day.

[...]The tactile feel of the paper, the texture of the book. The smell of the ink on paper....the pictures. All these seem to engage my 5 senses even more.  And this gives me an opportunity to stop in between and to meditate on the material.

My sentiments exactly Brother Vido!

I have now read it and will start the ironing. Spiritual things come first.  The brothers in Georgia went throu a lot. 2 good experiences caught my attention. First was where a prospective bible student reminded  brothers that to avoid bloodguilt they should visit him. And second was where bible student was afraid she would lose contact with 2 sisters who called at her door.

It is not chivalry, just necessity. Mum did however make sure I could handle the housework as needed.

Finished the read yesterday. Many prayers for our brothers in Georgia, many thanks to Jehovah.

Record shows that we are just short of 2 Billion Hours, yet alot of young ones who are not publishers is with their parents. is out in the field too. So, the number can be over 2 Billion.

We have a lovely sister in our congregation who has a neighbor that doesn't like JWs.  Our sister is the only one of us she will talk to (because she is a Helpful, Caring neighbor).  Our sister makes a point of sharing one scriptural thing with this person almost every day.  But...she does not remember to count the 15 minutes (or more) and she doesn't remember to count the RV either.  So our world-wide record is short about 10 hours and 20 RVs a month.  We do the best we can.

This is certainly the most impressive change on the table.

"Where will I find the 14th floor?"

"Oh it's on the 13th floor."

 

People are strange.
