Cold is relative to where you live, I guess.
In the teens in the mornings, warming up into the 30's during the day.
How about you?

Defeated Adversary
The roaring lion is the legendary king of the jungle. But the only lions many of us see are the lethargic felines that reside in zoos. Their days are filled with lots of rest, and their dinner is served to them without the lions having to lift a single paw.
In their natural habitat, however, lions arent always living a laid-back life. Their hunger tells them to go hunting, and in doing so they seek the young, weak, sick, or injured. Crouching in tall grasses, they slowly creep forward. Then with a sudden pounce, they clamp their jaws to the body of their victim.
Peter used a roaring lion as a metaphor for Satan. He is a confident predator, looking for easy prey to devour (1 Peter 5:8). In dealing with this adversary, Gods children must be vigilant at putting on the whole armor of God and thus they can be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Eph. 6:10-11).
The good news is that Satan is a defeated adversary. While he is a powerful foe, those who are protected by salvation, prayer, and the Word of God need not be paralyzed in fear at this roaring lion. We are kept by the power of God (1 Peter 1:5). James 4:7 assures us: Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Lord, we know that our enemy seeks to devour us.
Please protect us from him. We believe Your
Word that He who is in us is greater than he
who is in the world.
No evil can penetrate the armor of God.
The church at Ephesus, to whom the letter of Ephesians was written, was begun by the apostle Paul after he visited the city (Acts 18:18-21). Pauls work there was followed by that of Apollos (vv.24-26), a man who had great passion but an incomplete understanding of the way of Christ. This prompted two of Pauls colleagues, Aquila and Priscilla (v.26), to take Apollos under their wing and mentor him. This collaboration in ministry reveals how the work of the early church, so often focused on Pauls work, was a true team effort.

Good evening, yarddog.....thanks for sharing your experiences.
Really interesting....I hadn’t thought of the difference between “sentry” and “guard” dogs.
