I want to pay tribute to wonderful people I have known, the wonderful country in which I live, the communities in which I have lived, the churches who have claimed me as their own, the God who sends shivers down my back when I really give him a portion of my time—well, maybe not shivers but tears flow easily in some of those most priceless times.

Half of Houston’s without power, and almost all of Galveston, Austin, etc. But so far so good for me. I made chili last night, and I’m going to heat some up shortly — just in case my power does go off! Stay warm. This too shall pass!
We are among the lucky ones. Still reaping the benefits of the past ages. Your chili sounds good – like ReeNee’s chili does for us. She made it yesterday also. Enjoy the time out.
Hunker down my friend and stay warm!!!!
I’m not denying there might be circumstances that overwhelm, but I’m not seeing them now. Keeping my eyes on Jesus. He looks good.
⛄️
A wave from my snow to your snowman. I can’t build snowmen. 😀
We’re just having rainmen 💧💨
I’m getting reports from TX and AR are out of power. My kids are tough! They know how to do this. We won’t talk about my neighborhood until after you dig yourselves out! =-> Praying for your safety and well being!
One more day nearly past. That will be one down and six to go for this week. The big KO is just ahead. Smiling at you. Okla. Gas and Electric still doing pretty well. Think of those guys on those pole tops. And the mockers in the skyscraper. I’ll take my rednecks. Notice I’m not knocking all the people in the skyscraper – just the mockers.
HI From across the seas. Wish we could transport some of our heat through a blog. My biggest problem has been making sure my heart kept pumping. So hot some days even for summer I felt like staying under the paddling pool water and limiting breathing. Thank GOD we Know the ONE Who is with us. Stay warm. Take care!
I like thinking about meeting you in Heaven but I’m in no hurry. Don’t take off before I do! An exciting thought for those of us now ready, just come get us all at the same time, Jesus our returning King. Hadn’t thought of you in the heat! Right now it sounds good.
Awesome! We’ve been seeing signs of revival where I am. Our church baptized eleven people a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday they welcomed forty new members!
WOW! That’s Great Good News! Praise God for all the blessings that can flow even, in spite of, or because of Covid. It is an instrument in the hand of God as it turns minds to the need of eternal life or drives a wedge into the souls of the obstinate.
Julie and I were concerned about you since we haven’t seen much of you lately. I know you had a UTI and hope you’re all better now. We e been pretty healthy and I’m growing rather fond of staying at home. Stay warm. We’ve had two weeks below zero and worry about pies freezing.
Staying at home has become more comfortable than going out for sure. But I have to make an exception to that because of my hunger to go to a church fellowship somewhere. It has been rather difficult for me since January 29. But I’m improving. Thankfully I don’t have any pies to freeze. 😀 Just joking. We also have to watch for our pipes. We had to call off a clothes washing today because of a frozen washing machine drain. It will be a few days before that issue is settled. Overall, however, we a blessed by the hand of God.
WE are likewise blessed. Stay warm!
We’re coming out!
Take care and stay warm. This is not a time to catch cold.
You’re right. Not time for anymore yuck! We are coming out from under.
My prayers are with you and the people who are suffering.
Take care and stay safe Oneta.
As I read, the affects of polar vortex is moving south gradually. Not sure what else is in store for future.
I’m guessing we will be back to normal before long. Best to you and your wife. Enjoyed your rundown of the vaccine experience.
Thanks Oneta.
One of the things I appreciate about living in Canada is that I can leave my ice cream in the car for hours and it is absolutely fine 🙂
That would be a blessing indeed. By the time I complete the shopping I’d love a bit of break before putting everything away. 😀
Take care, Oneta and stay warm.
Thank you. It’s good to see you here again. I have given up on most of my reading and blogging. First because of health issues, then because of having my grands here. Trying to get back to a routine again.
