Ahhh

Shabbat shalom, sort of. I still can’t figure out why so many Christians call Sunday the sabbath, but I think we’re stuck with it.

Thanks for the positive responses to last night’s post. Sorry if the tone was just a tiny bit critical. I was feeling somewhat crabby. I am working to take the crabbiness out of my personality, but I am concerned that once it’s gone, nothing will remain but a big blank space.

Thought I’d point one more thing out. The odd folks who said I had no business buying a progressive reloading press were even more wrong than I suggested last night. None of the problems I’ve had have had anything to do with the nature of the press. Figuring out how the dies work is what drove me crazy, and they’re the same dies you use on a single-stage press. I wondered about the die order, but that wasn’t a major problem.

This is my third observant Sunday in a row. It’s growing on me. I really look forward to it on Friday and Saturday. I guess the Jews are right about giving one day a week to God; if you try it, you may like it. The best thing about it is knowing I have nothing to worry about until tomorrow.

I think I need to simplify food preparation on Sundays. I don’t think I’ll burn for turning on the stove, but spending hours cooking on a Sunday seems like a mistake. I should work harder on Saturday to prepare.

Once again, I encourage you to try this yourself. Christians may not be under the Mosaic law per se, but that doesn’t change the fact that a lot of this stuff is good for you.

My only regret is that I got so close to making ammunition, and now I have to wait until tomorrow. But as sacrifices go, that’s pretty small.

Og says he had a knee operation, so pray that he heals up good. I’m surprised he didn’t fix his knee himself. Probably couldn’t do it because he doesn’t have a Workmate.
