Thanks for the great pictures!
Took my warm fuzzy dog for a long walk in the frozen tundra today,
It’s very sunny today, not too windy.
Going to get a haircut in an hour.
New place I’m trying.
Have had bad luck finding good stylist.
This gal has 30 years experience so she ought to know what she’s doing.
I hope!

Cheers

Great!
The stylist was wonderful.
She has 30 years experience.
I figured she would probably be good.
Very nice lady, easy to chat with.

Our Welcoming God


January 10, 2019

Our church meets in an old elementary school, one that closed in 1958 rather than obey a US court order to integrate (the act of having African-American students attend schools previously attended by only Caucasian students). The following year, the school reopened and Elva, now a member of our church, was one of those black students who were thrust into a white world. “I was taken out of my safe community, with teachers who were part of our life,” Elva recalls, “and placed in a scary environment in a class with only one other black student.” Elva suffered because she was different, but she became a woman of courage, faith, and forgiveness.

Her witness is profound because of how much evil she endured at the hands of some members of a society that denied the truth that every human being, regardless of race or heritage, is loved by God. Some members of the early church struggled with this same truth, believing that certain people were, by birth, loved by God while others were rejected. After receiving a divine vision, however, Peter stunned everyone who would listen with this astounding revelation: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right” (Acts 10:34–35).

God opens His arms wide to extend love to everyone. May we do the same in His power. Today's Reflection

Consider your neighborhood, your family, and your social sphere.
Where do you find a temptation to exclude others? Why?

Thanks! It is surprisingly hard to find a good hair salon around here. Even my husband has had trouble getting a military cut, which should be simple.

Amen! It’s not that cold here, but it’s windy and that makes our 50 a bit uncomfortable. Stay warm!

Infinite Dimensions


January 11, 2019

I lay still on the vinyl-covered mat and held my breath on command as the machine whirred and clicked. I knew lots of folks had endured MRIs, but for claustrophobic me, the experience required focused concentration on something—Someone—much bigger than myself.

In my mind, a phrase from Scripture—“how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ” (Ephesians 3:18)—moved in rhythm with the machine’s hum. In Paul’s prayer for the Ephesian church, he described four dimensions to God’s love in order to stress the unending parameters of His love and presence.

My position while lying down for the MRI provided a new image for my understanding. Wide: the six inches on either side of where my arms were tightly pinned to my body within the tube. Long: the distance between the cylinder’s two openings, extending out from my head and feet. High: the six inches from my nose up to the “ceiling” of the tube. Deep: the support of the tube anchored to the floor beneath me, holding me up. Four dimensions illustrating God’s presence surrounding and holding me in the MRI tube—and in every circumstance of life.

God’s love is ALL around us. Wide: He extends His arms to reach all people everywhere. Long: His love never ends. High: He lifts us up. Deep: He dips down, holding us in all situations. Nothing can separate us from Him! (Romans 8:38–39).

By Elisa Morgan

Today's Reflection

What situations cause you to question God’s love? How will you choose to trust Him?
