I made my first downtown run (700 foot elevation change) on my new, used lithium iron pack. First thing to note, the discharge rate is higher on the fatter 26650 cylindrical cells which makes hill climbing a breeze just on 48V (no need to overvolt the controller).
Also, the world of weird charging strategies has opened back up. Since these are hooked up in 12V packs in series, I can charge each pack with a standard lead acid 12V charger. And now I'll be able to go back to solar charging configurations seeing as the solar charge controller was built for a 12V pack.
But so far charging is slow. It takes more than 8 hours to charge a ~20Ah 12V pack using like a 2A charger. I'll probably try hooking chargers in parallel again to get faster rates. More to come... hopefully...

Harvest of the Barren
Matthew 9
1 Samuel 22:1-6
-We tend to pick things that already seem succesfull for ourselves
-Abraham and lot and barren land
-There are 5 situations with barren people in the 9th chapter
1. There are stages to the ministry of Jesus as with David
2. Recognizing that I'm poor (we can want to believe something's going to work out and yet something's not right)
-Take now thy son
-recognizing my sin (david and uriah)
-faithis a fight till death
-Let's say we get things we've been striving for... what about afterwards?
3. The effect of the barren beleiving
-When the rich beleive, they think they are getting somewhere when they are not
*We've been resisting the thought of "I don't know", but God knows

Breaches along the way

It's Me
1 Peter 4:12-19
Genesis 38:24-30
-Our faith aught to be in God and we get judged for it not being there
-It is not so much what somebody did to us, but our faith in God
-We are hasty to judge certain situations that we are presented with
-Our first reaction is, what is this saying about me?
-Once we see out lack of faith and then get the proper faith in God we can then handle situations in an eternal way
1. We are blaming our lack of happiness and prosperity and judging others
2. Our faith needs to be toward God and should have developed past some things
3. Judgement must begin with us and our faith, then we will see into eternity
*I ready to stop running over people in my mind

Leave Not Thy Place
-Thomas the apostle was mid way down the list of apostles and clearly the most significant (in terms of recorded history) were named first and the least liked was named last.
-Thomas was named after the resurrection of Jesus a number of times, but the order he was named in changed
-Where God names us and the order of significance he gives us is important. We cannot say we don't need each other
-However, we do say we don't need the position God has given us and therefore forfeit the power therein and the opportunity to be promoted.
-We feel abandoning our post will accomplish something
-what God has for me it is for me.
Scriptures
John 20:19-29
Genesis 40:1-5, 13-14 41:8-9
John 21:1-4
Romans 8:38-39
Ecclesiastes 10:4
Sermon sequence
1. The two causes of forfeiting our position... highs and lows.
-God's given you a part, and he can change your name to fit that part
-We feel abandoning our post will accomplish something
-Thomas wasn't there the first time and then tried to dictate the terms of his faith
2. We need storage of God's word to make it through the temptation to leave our position
-But when God does speak, you need to go into sponge mode
-Sometimes we were collecting things in storage when we didn't realize what it was for
-Why did God have to tell Joseph twice that his brothers would humble themselves to him?
3. Jesus' resurrection was for us to believe and be renewed/upgraded in belief
4. We can find ourselves back-slidden, but we need to remember our position and God will resurrect us to it.
*Palm Sunday is God saying, this place is mine and I haven't abdicated off the throne
*It's time you told the Lord "I haven't forgotten you and I remember what you have for me to do"

Hands of revelation
Mark 6:1-6
John 1:6-18
Romans 8:18-25
Isaiah 53:1-2,10-12
Luke 24:27-35
1. To reveal something is to point it out and demonstrate it. it was already there... you're just revealing it.
2. Our hands have the ability to transmit intellect or understanding.
-consecration
-sacrifice
-healing
-resurrection
-correction/smiting
-blessing
-anointing of the Holy Ghost, hand of God
3. We can sit on our hands because we are trying to save ourselves and promote ourselves (and that leads to anger and abuse of our neighbor). Lift Jesus and reveal him.
*Altar call:
-your hands were specially designed to reveal God to this world that doesn't recognize him.
-They might say they do... but they don't recognize God.
-Think of somebody you know that doesn't recognize God (like you do). And extend yourself. Reach out to them in skill and sacrifice, and when they say ah... now I see... don't abuse them for it, they will reveal it in turn.

Faith Tried In God's Mouth
Matthew 8:5-12
Hebrew's 11:4-6
Psalms 51:15-19
Genesis 4:3-8
1. Faith toward God is so fundamental to what's going on with us that if we don't understand it, we are seriously stunted.
2.When your in the mouth of God, you're getting shifted around a bit
-God has a very discerning pallet
-sacrifice has to be by faith
-God knows what pleases him
-Lack of growth on our faith doesn't please God
3. We are so quick to misdirect our faith that we will put on our lucky socks
4. Altar call: we need to grow in our faith. Those things that disturb us, should either not do that, or we need movement on a plan to solve it.
