No wet, no wind here. We had another 80* day. *sigh* Doesn't look like Fall will show in these parts. Next thing we'll have is WINTER!

Hubby has had the TV on TWC most of the day. Some real nasty weather happening back there. Stay safe!

Getting wetter and wilder here by the hour! We're falling through the 40's and, Lawd, how the wind doth blow! Many a year since I've seen this kind of weather!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Wow...I've never been in such weather so I can't even relate. The closest I came was when I lived in TX. I said self...it's time to head back to CA! LOL

I don't know about anyone else but trying to get on this forum has been the pits for the past several days! I get here then it takes hours to be able to get back! Posting at times is impossible!

We New Englanders are made of sterner stuff. I remember Hurricane, Carol, Hurricane Diane, Being taken out of my house in a BOAT by the Red Cross, the Blizzard of 78, the Great Blackout, the Great No-Name Storm, The Perfect Storm (immortalized in a movie), and numerous hurricanes, Blizzards, white-outs, brown-outs, black-outs, floods, the Great Chelsea Fire of 1973, High Tides, beached whales and dolphins, and Barney Frank.

New England is used to disaster! :-)

Stand Fast

October 30, 2012

As I waited to make a right-hand turn at a busy intersection, an ambulance appeared over the crest of a hill, speeding in my direction. Someone behind me honked, urging me into the crossroads. I knew the ambulance would be unlikely to stop and that it could have been disastrous to make my turn. So I kept my foot on the brake pedal and stayed put.

Spiritually speaking, we need to “stay put” and remain faithful to God despite pressure from others. King Solomon had to learn this the hard way. He began his reign by asking God for wisdom (1 Kings 3:9), and his prayer at the dedication of the temple revealed his loyalty (8:23,61). But he did not remain committed. He married many foreign women who eventually influenced him to worship other gods. By the end of his life, his “heart was not loyal to the Lord” (11:1-6; Neh. 13:26).

Today, just as in ancient times, people may prompt us to shift our loyalty away from God and His truth. Yet with God’s help we can hold fast to the word of life (Phil. 2:16). If you feel pressured to enter a dangerous intersection of beliefs, study God’s Word, put on His armor (Eph. 6:10-18), and ask the Holy Spirit for help (1 Cor. 2:10-12). Then stand fast with your fellow believers in Christ.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you—
Ye dare not trust your own. —Duffield
To avoid being pulled into error, keep a firm grip on the truth.

Read: 1 Kings 11:1-13

Shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life. —Philippians 2:15-16
Bible in a Year:
Luke 14-17

I could hardly post yesterday at all. It took hours, and I gave up posting after a while yesterday.

Good morning Mayor.....what a good reminder to stand fast in a world gone mad. May we keep our eyes on Jesus, the author and FINISHER of our faith.
