I discovered an interesting phenomenon today.
While I was cruisin' into work in the ute, the temp was a crisp 2 or 3 degrees.
For some obscure reason, I noticed the fingers on my left hand were quite warm, while those on my right, were bitterly cold.
Now in a normal car you could put that down to the heater blowing nice warm air onto my hand via the vent.
But as I said, this is in the ute.
Not only does it take for me to get into town for the heater to start generating warm air, but if I don't have the vents directed towards the windscreen, the condensation that has crept in through the busted seals will continue to fog up my view and I won't get into town let alone get warm.
The only thing I could put it down to is an accident I had as a work experience kid during my high school years, where I put a glass pipette through some nerves in my right hand.
Maybe, just maybe there's a link.
Or maybe not.
For the moment I'm just enjoying the weirdness.
And trying to get warm.
Deuteronomy 15
Something a bit different here.
For the moment at least, people are implored upon to look after those less fortunate than themselves.
Through God's blessings, they shall be in an enviable position.
To rule over, but not be ruled.
To lend, but not borrow.
Yet an observation that remains until today.
There shall always be poor among you.
For many, many reasons this is true. No matter what system in place.
The difference is how we treat those less fortunate than ourselves.
In a position to make a difference in other people's lives, do we do our best?
Our hearts should be soft and we should take advantage of God's blessing to pass that blessing on to others.
Being indifferent is too easy and helps no one.
Including ourselves.
