I’m not sure how I ended up with AC duty. No, I don’t work on air conditioners; I set our alarm clock. Like KP duty; somebody has to do it. It’s not too complicated or time consuming; it’s merely a chore. Though technically retired, my husband and I begin volunteer roles before daybreak. So, we rise way before most. I must set the alarm clock…

Occasionally, I forget. Fortunately, we usually wake up without the alarm and no harm is done.

On the other hand, failing to set my mind is detrimental.

“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,  and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him (Colossians 3:2-10 NKJV).”
