[Kathy in Alaska]

Aloha, Hawaii!! Plovers still scarce? Clear skies?

[mylife]

It is still snowing. It has been steady since about 6:15 this AM.

But we are above freezing by a few degrees which has limited accumulation to 8 in.

A new 24 hour record.

READ: Philippians 2:12-18

Become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world. —Philippians 2:15

American businessman Mark Bent has spent $250,000 to develop and manufacture an affordable solar-powered flashlight. Thousands have been distributed free or at low cost to people living in African refugee camps. One daily solar charge provides 7 hours of life-giving illumination for people in homes, schools, and medical clinics where darkness had encouraged crime and violence.

The contrast between darkness and light is a prominent image in the Bible’s presentation of Jesus the Messiah. “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined” (Isa. 9:2). “In [Jesus] was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it” (John 1:4-5).

It’s our privilege as followers of Jesus to be His light-bearers today. Paul urged the Christians in Philippi to become “blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world” (Phil. 2:15).

Instead of being afraid or oppressed by the spiritual darkness around us, we can rely on the grace that God gives His children to shine for Him.

Lord, may I be a shining light
For all the world to see
Your goodness and Your love displayed
As You reach out through me. —Sper

Jesus came to give light to a dark world.

Bible in One Year: Leviticus 13; Matthew 26:26-50

Hi, Connie!

*HUGS*

How's it going tonite?

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my gosh.....the news guy just said that Dallas got upwards of 7” of snow today. Did you guys get snow, too?

NYT...did you bring a snow shovel with you??

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Night Owl!

It rained and with the rain came the plovers back to the shore. I think that Oamas swimming in the shallows enticed them back as well.

[ConorMacNessa]

Aloha, Biglook! How goes it?

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[mylife]

Almost as impressive as snow in Tucson

We got record amounts but the scenery is better in Tucson, though I got some time in the woods here today that was very pretty and quiet.

[mylife]

8 in.

Of the wet big flakey stuff

[MamaB]

Well, I think everyone is on the road to recovery. It seems that everyone is either sick or getting over something. I was just telling someone that I wished we would get some snow, the days turn sunny and stay that way.

[mylife]

Al Gore is deeply saddened.

[ConorMacNessa]

ENJOY FREEDOM? . . .

THANK YOUR VETS . . .

Hi Kathy! SSG Dusty is doing well. He and his family are being transfered to Ft. Riley KS. next month. Good news for me. About 3 hours away. I can visit them on weekends. The new baby is really exciting for him.

I worry for him when I talk to him because I sense some hearing loss from the IED's he's been through. He shruggs it off though, but I see it.

Thanks for your thoughts!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sarandon? She can't hold a candle to Barbara Stanwyck.
