Loved all your graphics this morning, GeeBee!
It is very cold this morning. Didn’t get the snow, just icy driveway. The snow covered the grass yesterday but melted on the roads pretty fast. With the overnight cold temps. it looks like just ice crystals on the driveway. The sun is out very nice at the moment.

No snow yet but the weatherman—cough, cough—is calling for some tonight. Dreary here today. Overcast, drizzling, and 36. Good day for sleeping in or curling up with a godd book—neither of which I can do right now. At work, no customers.

Good Morning Jaycee
It’s snowing here now. It was suppose to last night but it’s now for today and tonight. If you go out today, please be extra careful of ice. Our walk way was icy. My daughter fell last week and I kept her home for a couple days.

Woohoo! Three customer—and a phone call in a row! LOL

In another month I won’t know which way to turn. I am enjoying this break and getting stuff going in the greenhouse. :)

Don’t overwork yourself, girl! I know how your department will be in a month. I love to go into the greenhouses, etc. in the spring. I want everything I see but of course don’t get it all. I only get what I can handle....usually geraniums, and some colorful impatients. My son usually gets me two hanging ferns for Mother’s Day and I love them. I can’t handle too many flowers as it does take a lot of time. I bet you have lots of flowers at your home?

Great you are getting ready for spring. I look so forward to gardening again! I will try to get dahlia bulbs going inside in a month or 2. Maybe a few black magic elephant ears too.

A Refresher Course On God’s Majesty
You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live. —Exodus 33:20

My book Disappointment With God explores three questions many Christians ask: Is God hidden? Is God silent? Is God unfair? It struck me that those questions did not trouble the Hebrews in the Sinai wilderness. They saw evidence of God every day, heard Him speak, and lived under a contract signed in His own hand. Out of this relationship emerged a great gift from the Jews to the world: monotheism—the belief in one sovereign, holy God.

Today many treat God like a cosmic good buddy. We could use a refresher course from the Old Testament on God’s majesty.

Pastor Gordon MacDonald writes, “The most costly sins I have committed came at a time when I briefly suspended my reverence for God. . . . I quietly (and insanely) concluded that God didn’t care and most likely wouldn’t intervene were I to risk the violation of one of His commandments.”

MacDonald says his own love for God has moved away from a sentimental model, which never satisfied him, to something closer to a father/son model. He is learning to reverence, obey, and thank God; to express appropriate sorrow for sin; to pursue a quietness in which he might hear God whisper. He seeks a relationship with God appropriate to the profound difference between the two parties.

As God’s children, we may “come boldly to the throne of grace” (Heb. 4:16). But let us ever be mindful of our Father’s inestimable majesty.

To worship is to recognize the supreme worth of God.


Bible in One Year: Exodus 31-33; Matthew 22:1-22

My temp. has climbed to a warm? 26 from 22 about an hour ago. I will be glad to have weather to go out and do some cleaning up but I will have to wait. Cute little snowmen.
