Snapchat and holiness

 I talked to Josh about Snapchat today, how it worked and what kind of content was typically seen on it. It sounds like the new Facebook, which people use to draw attention to themselves. However, it definitely appealed to me to have a ten-second clip of whatever I am working on archived for posterity (i.e. older me). I might look into creating a private account like that, but for now I will use the classic form of journaling, a blog (er… close enough).

Today was possibly my last day at the Lewisville Community Center, at least for a while. We got all the lights working that we had available to us. I did some rewiring of the can lights and installed some whips that will give power to some window blinds by pushing cables through holes that I made yesterday from just above the window up into the soffit and tying them into junction boxes. It was a good day of work.

I’ve been thinking about my future career a lot, as I tend to do when a change approaches. Also, a guy at work who does the data asked me about how I changed careers. Anyway, I have been thinking that I would like to try being a residential electrician. It would be good experience for side jobs, and it would also give me a way to help people. On the other hand, I am more interested in the controls branch of electrical work, which is more the opposite direction. And finally, my interest in programming has been rekindled for no apparent reason. I have yet to actually write any code this year, but I plan to begin as soon as I finish writing.

Also, last night I started reading The Holiness of God by R. C. Sproul. One passage of the Bible that has haunted me for several years and particularly recently is the scene where Isaiah sees God in the temple and cries “Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips” (Isaiah 6:5). The book addresses this passage in the context of holiness. Examining holiness more closely in this book has elucidated a few mysteries I have pondered about the nature of God.
