            Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight !

But first, lets talk about heat. Too much is not always a good thing, especially in electronics. Heat detection can mean loss of energy or
efficiency in a line or component. Excess heat can reduce the rated capability of a component and lead to damage and loss of the use of a circuit. Beyond excess heat, we have fire and meltdown. Now we begin to see dollar signs and have trouble breathing! There are preventative measures. Reduce power to only what is necessary to make a radio contact. Install heat sheilds,fans, or purchase equipment that has manufactured installed heat sheilds and heat sinks. Do not exceed the recommended current/voltage of unit or component parts.

                   When It Got Too Hot For Lot!

God had issued a "warning notice" to Abraham that he was about to destroy Sodom, Gomorrah, and the related cities of the adjacent plain for their gross immorality of sexual sins. Abraham began to plead for mercy to be shown to the righteous. God agreed to spare the cities if ten righteous could be found. Abraham had no idea that God would escort the righteous out of the town, and then burn it. Abraham's nephew Lot, his two daughter's, and his wife were escorted out. Several relatives remained, ignoring the "warning notice". God won.
Sin was judged, the towns burned, and the promise kept.
Hell is hotter and is an eternal burn, not temporary like the fire of Sodom. The only escape is to accept by faith the righteousness of Jesus Christ and let God count it as your righteousnes by substitution. This is my prayer for you.
