A real page-curler

As you may have guessed from my post on Monday, I've recently been convicted of my unthankfulness. In fact since we've been studying Exodus all semester in small groups, so have most the staff team I work with at uni.

This from co-worker Bon the other day;

We're so unthankful. Do you know how often we complain about the weather?

It's true. I spend every season whinging about the temperature, complaining that I wish it was the opposite season. And then when the hoped for season arrives the pattern repeats. Why don't we rejoice more often in the seasons that God has fixed for our good?

Nevertheless Christians do need to master speaking about the weather if they have any hope of reaching most Australians with the news about Jesus. Most conversations start with the weather (but maybe this is affected by my years of beach mission door(tent)-knocking in stifling heat). Anyways, to assist you I've invented a new phrase. You know when it's so hot the covers of your books curl up? I anticipate a future conversation going something like this...

Me: G'day, mate

Random Dude: It's a hot one, hey?

Me: Yeah, a real page-curler.

Do you think it will work?
