It is snowing like crazy in Buffalo, NY. I checked out the live snow-cam on YouTube.

I’ve been watching Mark Sudduth of hurricanetrack.com and Reed Timmer on YouTube and man! That is a LOT of snow!. I’m thankful we don’t have to deal with all that mess. It is pretty unless you have to try to get to work or get necessities that you need!
Is it still snowing whee you are?

God Knows You
You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. Psalm 139:1
It seems my mother can sense trouble from a mile away. Once, after a rough day at school, I tried to mask my frustration hoping that no one would notice. “What’s the matter?” she asked. Then she added, “Before you tell me it’s nothing, remember I’m your mother. I gave birth to you, and I know you better than you know yourself.” My mom has consistently reminded me that her deep awareness of who I am helps her be there for me in the moments I need her most.
As believers in Jesus, we’re cared for by a God who knows us intimately. The psalmist David praised Him for His attentiveness to the lives of His children saying, “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar” (Psalm 139:1–2). Because God knows who we are—our every thought, desire, and action—there’s nowhere we can go where we’re outside the bounds of His abundant love and care (vv. 7–12). As David wrote, “If I settle on the far side of the sea even there your hand will guide me” (vv. 9–10). We can find comfort knowing that no matter where we are in life, when we call out to God in prayer, He’ll offer us the love, wisdom, and guidance we need. — Kimya Loder
When have you felt like no one else could understand how you were truly feeling? How does the reality of God’s presence help and encourage you during such times?
Loving God, many times I feel misunderstood and alone. Thank You for reminding me of Your presence in my life. I know You see me, hear me, and love me even when it seems like no one else does.

Happy Caturday!
Windy, cold, sunny and cloudy, snow squalls, all manner of November weather today. Missing summer already.
Deer season started, so no more walks in the fields for 2 weeks.
Saw 3 big deer running through the front field today. I could have told ‘em to hide in the woods behind my house. But they were gone in a flash.
Have a nice Caturday-Dogurday!

It's even cold here. 39 degrees, but that IS cold for us, especially in the middle of the afternoon! Y'all stay warm! Here's hoping you don't get the kind of snow that western NY is getting! Brrr! |

Our high was only 24 today. That should be a low temperature. We saw snow flying every day since last Tuesday. Good thing it never amounted to much.
To: luvie
Please, not that!
PS...I’m driving to Maine on Wednesday. I might get snowed in.

Stay safe on your trip and enjoy your stay there. Hope you don’t get snowed in! We’re going to see our kids on Tuesday but it’s southeast of us so it will probably be a bit warmer there. They live about 2 hours north of Houston.

Thanks. It’s mostly highway going there, but I have to go THROUGH Boston. There is no other way to get North from where I am.
That’s the first hour. The next five are just open road.

The Socratic Club
Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone . . . for the hope that you have. 1 Peter 3:15
In 1941, the Socratic Club was established at England’s Oxford University. It was formed to encourage debate between believers in Jesus and atheists or agnostics.
Religious debate at a secular university isn’t unusual, but what is surprising is who chaired the Socratic Club for fifteen years—the great Christian scholar C. S. Lewis. Willing to have his thinking tested, Lewis believed that faith in Christ could stand up to great scrutiny. He knew there was credible, rational evidence for believing in Jesus.
In a sense, Lewis was practicing Peter’s advice to believers scattered by persecution when he reminded them, “In your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15). Peter makes two key points: we have good reasons for our hope in Christ and we’re to present our reasoning with “gentleness and respect.”
Trusting Christ isn’t religious escapism or wishful thinking. Our faith is grounded in the facts of history, including the resurrection of Jesus and the evidence of the creation bearing witness to its Creator. As we rest in God’s wisdom and the strength of the Spirit, may we be ready to share the reasons we have for trusting our great God. — Bill Crowder
How might you share your faith with someone? What evidence for the resurrection of Jesus makes it reasonable, even though it’s clearly miraculous?
Almighty God, thank You for giving me credible evidence to support my faith in You.

Reading Backwards
After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. John 2:22
Reading the last chapter of a mystery novel first may sound like a bad idea to those who love the suspense of a good story. But some people enjoy reading a book more if they know how it ends.
In Reading Backwards, author Richard Hays shows how important the practice is for our understanding of the Bible. By illustrating how the unfolding words and events of Scripture anticipate, echo, and throw light on one another, Professor Hays gives us reason to read our Bibles forward and backward.
Hays reminds readers that it was only after Jesus’ resurrection that His disciples understood His claim to rebuild a destroyed temple in three days. The apostle John tells us, “The temple he had spoken of was his body” (John 2:21). Only then could they understand a meaning of their Passover celebration never before understood (see Matthew 26:17–29). Only in retrospect could they reflect on how Jesus gave fullness of meaning to an ancient king’s deep feelings for the house of God (Psalm 69:9; John 2:16–17). Only by rereading their Scriptures in light of the true temple of God (Jesus Himself) could the disciples grasp how the ritual of Israel’s religion and Messiah would throw light on one another.
And now, only by reading these same Scriptures backward and forward, can we see in Jesus everything that any of us has ever needed or longed for. — Mart DeHaan
What difficulties concern you about your future? When reflecting on your life, how are you learning to understand and believe God’s story that's best understood and loved when read with eternity in view?
Father in heaven, thank You for letting me live long enough to see Your ability to show up and reveal the wonder of Your presence in ways I could not have foreseen.
