In the USNE it is bordering on hysteria.

Some public screwels pondering whether to go into lockdown and delay dismissal “out of an abundance of caution” while others providing eclipse glasses for all students and staff (rightly) understanding this as a very teachable moment.

Some EMAs have been warning folks to stock up on food and medicine to avoid travel on Monday.

The hysteria and paranoia rivals that of the early months of COVID.

Good evening, Songcraft...thanks. ((HUGS))

The hysteria and paranoia rivals that of the early months of COVID.

Is it time to blacken our faces with ashes, put on a black cloak and walk in circles chanting "DOOM" yet"

Howdy, luvie.

Did your sky stay dust-free all day or did the wind finally start kicking it up?

We finally had just a breeze today but it’s still been a chilly day.

Our New Nature in Christ

Bible in a Year :

• 1 Samuel 4-6
• Luke 9:1-17

Put on your new nature, created to be like God.

Ephesians 4:24 nlt

Our blue spruce was dropping pinecones and needles. The tree doctor took one look at it and explained the problem. “It’s just being a spruce,” he said. I’d hoped for a better explanation. Or a remedy. But the tree man shrugged, saying again, “It’s just being a spruce.” By nature, the tree sheds needles. It can’t change.

Thankfully, our spiritual lives aren’t limited by unchangeable actions or attitudes. Paul stressed this liberating truth to the new believers at Ephesus. The gentiles were “darkened in their understanding,” he said, their minds closed to God. They possessed hardened hearts containing “every kind of impurity,” and sought only after pleasures and greed (Ephesians 4:18-19).

But “since you have heard about Jesus” and His truth, the apostle wrote, “throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life” (v. 22 nlt). Paul noted how our old nature “is corrupted by lust and deception.” He said, “Let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy” (vv. 22-24 nlt).

Then he listed new ways to live. Stop lying. Resist anger. Stop cursing. Quit stealing. “Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need” (v. 28 nlt). Our new self in Christ allows us to live a life worthy of our calling, yielded to our Savior’s way. .

Reflect & Pray

What does it mean to put on your “new self”? How can you seek to walk the Savior’s way?

Renew my nature today, dear Jesus, as I yield to become more like You.

Learn more about developing your new nature in Christ.

Hey there, radu!

The sky never really turned brown, but the wind was crazy. I guess the highest gust was 35-ish with sustained winds at 30mph nearly all day. it’s calmed down tonight, which was great when it was time to go out and feed the kitties.

Good thing you didn’t have much wind. With that chill in the air, it would have been awful with a wind chill factor. Can’t believe we’re talking about this in mid-April! LOL

Good evening, radu, and thanks for the tunes. ((HUGS))

Did you have a frost, or did you escape?

Still snowing here, but it’s melting as soon as it hits the ground. Had to shovel 4” off the deck this morning.Then it just got covered in snow again. Now it’s just wet. Hoping it stays slushy all night so I don’t have ice trying to go into the office tomorrow.
