I'm Out!

 My big accomplishment for the day is that I got the driveway clear enough to get out and in. I may be getting a little old for that much shoveling, but I got 'er done. Not much contrast, but I hope you can see the open lane.

There is a Scout song. "God had created a new day. Silver,
snowy driveway


and green,
white pine needles


and gold. (this morning's sunrise)
sunrise


Live that the sunset may find us worthy His gifts to hold."

Don't worry... this song isn't saying that we become acceptable to God because of what we can do. It's not in opposition to GRACE.

However, it's almost a direct quote from several places in the New Testament, like Colossians 1:10- "live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God." We do have a responsibility, once we've accepted God's grace to "walk worthy."

In other news: I edited, I formatted, as mentioned... I shoveled. Then I was tired. Snowblower should be picked up tomorrow for repair.

Good job on the driveway. I've done my fair share of shoveling this year already. I did ok most days but I got up the one morning after doing a lot and it hurt to move.

Lulu: "Our Dada says he remembers going out to snowblow the driveway and having the wind always blow the snow right in his face no matter what direction he was going and then the plow would go by and push a bunch of new ice and snow into the driveway. It sounds glorious doesn't it?"
Java Bean: "Ayyy, I don't think that is the word Dada would use."
