I know. I liked last winter. We had some snow, but not too much, and it was rarely colder than the 20’s. I believe it was the winter previously that we had four feet of snow on the ground for months. That was a tough winter, with temps in the single digits quite often, although not as bad as the winter we stepped out on our deck to find it -22 degrees. On my way to work, there were cars broken down everywhere.

While I think winter is beautiful, I can’t afford a fall. And my bones ache. This old house has little insulation so it’s cold. I love the house. It’s a 1920 center hall colonial. But it needs vinyl siding and insulation.

You can have a president you love, but if you dont have a Congress thats willing to work, you know, you wind up stalled in so many ways, First Lady Michelle Obama said Wednesday on Tom Joyners radio program.
And I think that Barack has done a phenomenal job working around a Congress that has never been willing to help move the country forward on so many different issues...

Washingtons General Orders to the troops, Valley Forge Sunday, March 1, 1778:
The Commander in Chief again takes occasion to return his warmest thanks to the virtuous officers and soldiery of this Army for that persevering fidelity and Zeal which they have uniformly manifested in all their conduct. Their fortitude not only under the common hardships incident to a military life but also under the additional sufferings to which the peculiar situation of these States have exposed them, clearly proves them worthy of the enviable privilege of contending for the rights of human nature, the Freedom and Independence of their Country. The recent Instance of uncomplaining Patience during the scarcity of provisions in Camp is a fresh proof that they possess in an eminent degree the spirit of soldiers and the magnanimity of Patriots. The few refractory individuals who disgrace themselves by murmurs it to be hoped have repented such unmanly behaviour, and resolved to emulate the noble example of their associates upon every trial which the customary casualties of war may hereafter throw their way. Occasional distress for want of provisions and other necessaries is a spectacle that frequently occurs in every army and perhaps there never was one which has been in general so plentifully supplied in respect to the former as ours. Surely we who are free Citizens in arms engaged in a struggle for every thing valuable in society and partaking in the glorious task of laying the foundation of an Empire, should scorn effeminately to shrink under those accidents and rigours of War which mercenary hirelings fighting in the cause of lawless ambition, rapine and devastation, encounter with cheerfulness and alacrity, we should not be merely equal, we should be superior to them in every qualification that dignifies the man or the soldier in proportion as the motive from which we act and the final hopes of our Toils, are superior to theirs. Thank Heaven! our Country abounds with provision and with prudent management we need not apprehend want for any length of time. Defects in the Commissaries department, Contingencies of weather and other temporary impediments have subjected and may again subject us to a deficiency for a few days, but soldiers! American soldiers! will despise the meanness of repining at such trifling strokes of Adversity, trifling indeed when compared to the transcendent Prize which will undoubtedly crown their Patience and Perseverance, Glory and Freedom, Peace and Plenty to themselves and the Community; The Admiration of the World, the Love of their Country and the Gratitude of Posterity!
Your General unceasingly employs his thoughts on the means of relieving your distresses, supplying your wants and bringing you labours to a speedy and prosperous issue. Our Parent Country he hopes will second his endeavors by the most vigorous exertions and he is convinced the faithful officers and soldiers associated with him in the great work of rescuing our Country from Bondage and Misery will continue in the display of that patriotic zeal which is capable of smoothing every difficulty and vanquishing every Obstacle.

At noon on this date in 1789, George Washington was inaugurated as our first president under the new U.S. Constitution:
"I was summoned by my Country, whose voice I can never hear but with veneration and love, from a retreat which I had chosen with the fondest predilection, and, in my flattering hopes, with an immutable decision, as the asylum of my declining years..."
George Washington, First Inaugural Address, New York, April 30, 1789; Fitzpatrick 30:291

I think those are most of the reasons that many of us have chosen to move south. Winter can be harsh. Mr T and I have discussed it as a future option a number of times, and although real estate is reasonable in Florida, retirement isn’t in our near future. Mr. T does love his job. I love my home. I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. - George Washington

It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.

I’m amazed that Mr. T would be willing to consider Florida. He’s like a furnace. :)

If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation.
If truth be not diffused, error will be; If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy,
If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will; If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end.
Daniel Webster, 1823; Every Christian a Publisher, Ernest Reisinger, Free Grace Broadcaster, Issue 51, Winter, 1995, p. 17
