Wrote this at the approach of similar weather about 10 years ago, fits to the tune of “Good King Wenceslaus”

Winter’s worst is on its way
Highs well below freezing
Lows in single numbers, too,
And the winds a-breezing.
Time to gather unsplit logs
That can burn six hours
All to warm your cats and dogs
‘Till the springtime flowers.

Good evening, lightman....did you get buried in snow?

Stay safe and warm.

Always a Child of God

Bible in a Year: Exodus 4–6; Matthew 14:22–36

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Romans 8:14 Today's Scripture & Insight:

Romans 8:9-17

During a church service I attended with my parents, according to the usual practice we held hands while saying the Lord’s Prayer together. As I stood with one hand clasped to my mother’s and the other to my father’s, I was struck by the thought that I will always be their daughter. Although I’m firmly in my middle age, I can still be called “the child of Leo and Phyllis.” I reflected that not only am I their daughter, but I will also always be a child of God.

The apostle Paul wanted the people in the church at Rome to understand that their identity was based on being adopted members of God’s family (Romans 8:15). Because they had been born of the Spirit (v. 14), no longer did they need to be enslaved to things that didn’t really matter. Rather, through the gift of the Spirit, they were “heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ” (v. 17).

To those who follow Christ, what difference does this make? Quite simply, everything! Our identity as children of God provides our foundation and shapes how we see ourselves and the world. For instance, knowing that we are part of God’s family helps us to step out of our comfort zone as we follow Him. We can also be free from seeking the approval of others.

Today, why not ponder what it means to be God’s child?

Today's Reflection

Lord God, help me to live out of my central identity as Your child. Release me to live by Your Spirit, that I might share Your love and hope.

On the road again....good evening, Pro.

A B1 B drops on you low on landing, it gets you attention.

BIG HUCKING bird

[lightman]

Snow stayed just 20 miles north...just 1/2 inch at the onset of the Saturday/Sunday storm....1.75 inches of rain through midday Sunday which, in January, would mean 18 - 30 inches of snow.

Whew!

Winds have been 20-30 mph since 1100 Sunday.

Great Air Trip tonight, lauren!
...and just down the road from me!
Well a 2 hour road trip at least.
I used to watch the B1Bs
circling overhead from my aunt and uncle's ranch.
Fun to see and to hear those powerful jets!
Off We Go Into The Wild Blue Yonder

Love it!
