u/GFollowsChrist

I’m starting to find the material world superficial.

I’ve been a lukewarm Christian virtually my entire life, but within the last few months I’ve made a concerted effort to truly put my faith in Christ. I find myself really inspired by the unapologetic faith of Paul and can only hope to one day have such bold faith. That’s not why I’m writing this though. I’m starting to notice I’m losing interest in the material things I would normally idolize, which I suppose is a good thing, but the world around me seems so much duller than it used to. Nice cars? Eh. New interior design? Meh. Making more money? Who cares. I’ve noticed it’s starting to creep into my interactions with people. For example, I want to be exicited for my brother when he shows me the new updates to his home, but I just….don’t care. It’s like my mind is consumed my Jesus 24/7 and there’s no room for anything else. This can’t be normal right?

For context, I'm new-ish to the service side of the trade. I'm currently at a 1940s era warehouse where I'm repurposing an old step-up transformer (240/480v) that hasn't been in use for years, maybe decades. I gave each lugged wire in the transformer a good tug and powered it on. The problem is, I'm reading some funky voltage numbers. I'm hoping some of you seasoned veterans can help me understand what's going on.
