Everything is relative, I guess! LOL! I will be thinking
“warm for GB” when it’s “only” 45 on Tuesday! :D Maybe that will help....maybe it won’t! LOL!

Thank you for opening the doors this morning and for hostessing the thread.
You are a wonderful hostess and I truly appreciate all you do.

Before bed tonight, Marissa and I went through her birthday greetings.
She was thrilled and very impressed that you remembered her birthday.
She gave me a goodnight kiss and told me this was her best birthday.
She told me to tell her FReeper FRiends THANK YOU!

From me ..... Thank you and big HUGS.

Here Comes The Boss!
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. —1 John 1:9

A number of computer games come with a special feature called the “Boss Key.” If you’re playing a game when you’re supposed to be working, and someone (like the boss) walks into your office, you quickly strike the Boss Key. Your computer screen changes immediately, hiding what you’ve been doing.

Trying to hide from others when we’ve done something wrong comes naturally. We may feel guilty, but our desire to avoid admitting our responsibility is often stronger than our guilt.

Achan tried to hide his sin. He had stolen silver and gold and hidden it in his tent (Josh. 7:20-21). But when the Israelites were defeated in battle, the Lord told their leader Joshua that the loss was due to sin in the camp (vv.11-12). The Lord identified Achan as the one who had sinned. And even though Achan confessed, he and his family were executed (v.25).

We may not understand why God dealt so harshly with Achan’s sin, but we do know He was instructing His people in His holiness and their need for obedience to His commands (Ex. 20:17).

If you’ve been disobedient, it’s time to come out of hiding. God is lovingly calling you and offering His cleansing, forgiveness, and restoration.

O Lord, help me to come to You
When I would rather hide my sin;
Give me the courage to confess
So I can be made clean within. —Sper

Confession is the key that opens the door to forgiveness.


Bible in One Year: Jonah 1–2; Proverbs 24:1-12

Packing for Travel

In the hallowed halls of the heart
lies a sad but true story to impart
life and efforts bold and once grand
now echoes of struggles out of hand

A life is a map across time and space
across which the fates do but race
hurrying to the last moment so spent
and wondering what next task is sent

experience the price of wisdom wise
each teaches us no matter their size
log them in the file of the mind to hold
and learn to cull them as you grow old

Memories are all the gold we take with us
so of your material gain learn not to fuss
keep the things for eternity to come
and count them most among your sums

Thank you, Mr. Mayor, for a great Daily Bread message this cold winter morning...Brrrr! Hope we get a few days of warmer weather before Christmas as its sure hard to go out shopping in this weather.

Wishing you a blessed day!

I sure did enjoy your poetry this morning, Johnn!

The line that sticks is “Memories are all the gold we take with us”....powerful.

It is bitter cold here too, it’s 10 degrees, coldest so far this year. Where is the global warming when we need it?

Have a good day and stay warm.
