Howdy, Kathy.

Pretty day you had up there. Did it get above freezing again? No one ever posted the temperature in chat.

Cloudy but warm here and now it’s raining as the cold front moves through.

Here's a couple songs inspired by this week's "news" stories, involving the Fulton County Fraudulent Fib-Machine, who gave some of her ill-gotten gains to her seedy partner, who then turned around and used that money to take both of them on expensive, fancy cruises "in the water".   (Cheaters both, and she kept big bags of cash, wherever she laid her evil head, possibly under her stolen hat.)

      "Short Fat Fannie" - Larry Williams

      "Wade In The Water" - The Staple Singers

Growing Up in Jesus

Bible in a Year :

• Leviticus 21–22
• Matthew 28

My power is made perfect in weakness.

2 Corinthians 12:9 As a child, I viewed grown-ups as wise and incapable of failure. They always know what to do, I’d think. One day, when I’m grown up, I’ll always know what to do too. Well, “one day” came many years ago, and all it has taught me is that, many times, I still don’t know what to do. Whether it’s illness in the family, problems at work, or conflict in a relationship, such times have wrested all delusions of personal control and strength, simply leaving me one option—to close my eyes and whisper, “Lord, help. I don’t know what to do.”

The apostle Paul understood this feeling of helplessness. The “thorn” in his life, which may have been a physical ailment, caused him much frustration and pain. It was through this thorn, however, that Paul experienced God’s love, promises, and blessings as sufficient for him to endure and overcome his difficulties (2 Corinthians 12:9). He learned that personal weakness and helplessness don’t mean defeat. When surrendered to God in trust, they become tools for Him to work in and through these circumstances (vv. 9−10).

Our being a grown-up doesn’t mean we’re all-knowing. Sure, we grow wiser with age, but ultimately our weaknesses often reveal how truly powerless we are. Our true power is in Christ: “For when I am weak, then I am strong” (v. 10). Truly “growing up” means knowing, trusting, and obeying the power that comes when we realize we need God’s help. .

Reflect & Pray

What trials make you realize your own helplessness? How can you obey God’s leading? 

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my help and strength.

Howdy, luvie.

How’s it down your way? Are you getting a dose of chilly weather or is this cold front missing you?

We had 68 degrees here this afternoon - and that was with cloudy skies - but the temp’s dropping fairly fast now that the rain has moved through.

radu!!
