Lots of brandings going on across the ranchlands. We got ours done today. There were several going on around our neighborhood. We finished in time to make it to the local high school graduation. There, I heard a horror story from one of the other brandings. The person who had been given the job of vaccinating was careless in his work. He had on two occasions poked the wrestlers with a needle. One fella was pretty 'green' after the incident, so both men were taken to the hospital. I haven't heard how they were feeling tonight. Vaccinating is not a complicated job, but it does require care and attention. Be careful to give every calf a proper dose in the correct manner, and DON"T stab people! The Lord gives us opportunity to serve Him. Sometimes the job seems pretty simple, and anyone could do it. That is no excuse to be careless in our tasks. Carelessness can have tragic results. If we are a teacher, be precise and diligent to be the best. If an usher, be alert to the worship environment to make it the best you possibly can. I think the custodians at a church hold a most important job. Your place to serve God may not be highly visible, but you are an important link in the chain. No excuse for carelessness in any job, but especially not in our service for Him. Sometimes we are very diligent in our secular work, but get careless in our volunteer positions. We feel less accountability, but we should never forget that it is often the most important job of lasting consequence that we will ever do. Have yourselves a good Sunday morning', and a good rest of the week too.
