Jan 23, 2026 @ 15:26 Good afternoon family @ friends❣️ Today will be another 1-update day, just because of TBI stuff 🤷‍♀️... Anyway is once again bitterly cold, but after watching Ryan Hall Y'all earlier we are not predicted to get the worst part of this massive (2300 miles wide!!!!) storm so I have nothing about which to complain! Pete went out and did some errands, I stayed home and spent hours trying to get this site update done in spite of 😖🧠 stuff...finally done - YAY! Victory!!! I won't be pushing it any further today though, so probably won't see you until tomorrow, the way it looks right now. So please, stay warm, and safe, if you are in the path of this storm! I will continue to pray and also to be checking on its progress as are, I assume, many people. Just don't take chances, ok? ❣️🙌✝️🎶😆🥩🌿💐👴👵🐕‍🦺🦜

"Steadfastness requires that we give up the need for instant gratification and replace it with faithfulness and endurance as we live our Christian lives. This is not easy. It takes work. It takes humility.

Jan 22, 2026 @ 15:02 Good afternoon family & friends❣️ The sun is bright on the snow today, making it look warmer than it is, which is 19°F with a wind chill of 4°F. (Tonight we'll be at -8°F, with a wind chill of nearly -20°F 🥶😬🧊!) I updated my health page earlier which explains why I haven't been here in over 24 hours, and why I won't be back until tomorrow, plus got Don's guest post up and my usual updates including what I have always called a "mini-devo" but in reality has become quite a Bible study for me and for those who read what I share. Pete is at an appointment with a new doctor just a couple of miles away; I will have my meal for today and then go back to bed for the remainder of the day and tonight. And that's it for me! I hope your day is a good one and, if all goes well, I'll see you in the morning❣️🙌✝️🎶😆🥩🌿💐👴👵🐕‍🦺🦜
