Why did Jesus tell this story? We’re given some clues. Romans 13:12 instructs believers to “cast off” deeds of darkness and “put on” armor of light.

These passages were written by Paul, who as a zealous Pharisee likely took pride in looking good, yet had to learn what he really needed was the covering of Christ’s sac rifice.

Mountain Christmas has grown to be an internationally recognized event that allows visitors to expe rience all that Branson has to offer, including the welcoming warmth of the Ozarks people, Branson’s live music shows and lavish Christ mas productions, Silver Dollar City’s Old Time Christmas, Shep herd of the Hills Adventure Park & Shows, unique seasonal attractions, Thanksgiving weekend, originally decorated Christmas trees, miles of drive-through lighting displays, a myriad Christmas shopping op tions, delicious dining, and New Year’s Eve celebrations.”
Ozark Mountain Christmas is ‘inclusive,’ not ‘exclusive’

She closes out her comments by saying, “Each to their own. As for me, I’ve celebrated both while living here and I’m glad to have had both experiences.” An Ole Seagull would agree, “Each to their own. He’s celebrated many an Ozark Mountain Christmas and has enjoyed Branson’s spectacular Christmas Shows, Silver Dollar City’s Old Time Christmas, Christ mas light displays, and much more as part of those celebrations.”
One commenter on the column, a lady the Ole Seagull respects very much, said, “My opinion is, why can’t both events stand and shine and serve their unique purposes?”
The resolution specifically des ignates Ozark Mountain Christ mas “as the official name for this community-wide Christmas event and encourages the entire Branson community to support it in every way they can.

Nowhere in the Board’s Resolution or the column does it mention exclud ing any of the wonderful events that make up Ozark Mountain Christmas, including America’s Christmas Tree City. “Now come on, Seagull, didn’t you opine that every marketing dollar bet on Ozarks Mountain Christmas is a better bet with a potentially high er return than those bet on America’s Christmas Tree City?” “Absolutely, but that’s not exclusionary language, it’s the mere expression of what the Ole Seagull believes is a ‘marketing’ fact.”

Hot tubs are not a plug and play device. Not only will they require a dedicated circuit, they will require their own electrical panel, called a spa panel. De pending on the placement of your hot tub, this circuit could be a long run. This circuit will need to stretch from your main elec trical panel to the hot tub, and if it needs to go under a deck or along the exterior of your house, it may also need to be in conduit or PVC. As you prepare to shop for your new hot tub, keep in mind that the electrical setup for a hot tub could be around $1,000 or more depending on the cur rent price of wire and conduit.
This usually comes as a shock to people AFTER they buy the hot tub, so it’s better to be aware of it when budgeting ahead of time.
Home is where the hot tub is
The expense for the initial electrical setup is why it is best to purchase a new hot tub. Many people get excited when they see a hot tub on Facebook Market place for a ‘good price.’ Under stand that older hot tubs may have age-related upkeep and re pairs that a new hot tub does not. After spending the money to get power to a ‘new-to-you’ hot tub, the last thing you want is to find out why the former owner got rid of it so cheap. Older hot tubs are also prone to leaks, meaning more water usage, more electric ity used to keep the temperature right, and more chemicals used to keep the balance.

Autumn is coming, and with it come cooler nights which are perfect for a soak in the hot tub. If you are thinking of getting a hot tub/spa, here are a few things you should take into consider ation from the electrical side.
Lastly, because you are deal ing with water and electricity, the electrical installation for your hot tub needs to meet cer tain specifications, like GFCI protection and a Spa panel shutoff. For the safety of the hot tub user, as well as the longevity of the hot tub, the electrical part is of utmost importance. If you need help with your new hot tub wiring, call the professionals at Lightspeed Electrical, 417-2395050.
