Good evening brethren and happy Sabbath! A reminder that there will be a potluck in all three congregations tomorrow.

Who turned out the lights?

With Daylight Savings Time coming to an end, it sort of feels like someone turned off the lights. Obviously, that’s not true, it just sort of feels that way.

The lack of daylight can have an effect on us in lots of ways. For some, it’s SAD - seasonal affective disorder. A type of depression brought on by the colder weather and less daylight.

A slow down

It’s pretty natural to have a bit of a slow down in the winter time. The colder weather and lack of sunshine can limit our activities to just the indoors.

As a results, sometimes we don’t get too much done this time of year. If we’re not careful, our spiritual lives can parallel this. 

A new opportunity

One way to look at it though is that it’s an opportunity to get some of that ‘indoor work’ done. One form of that type of work can be Bible Study.

As the days get ‘shorter,’ there’s more indoor time to start a new Bible reading program, or otherwise dive into the Word. Remember, there’s still the same amount of hours in the day that there were last week, but you now have an opportunity to use them in a new way!
