Its FREZZING!!! So I'm not going outside for anything (thats what my younger brother is for
:-) I stay in and help my Mom with the little kids school, stay in our living room, (as thats were the wood heat vent comes in and is therefore the warmest room in the house). I am working on a cross-stitch blanket. Its a very cute Suzi's Zoo pattern that I'm trying to finish before my Mom has her baby. Which is not long off, and I'm not even half done yet : / But with these bitterly cold days I've had alot of time to work on it. I'll post pictures when its completed.
I'm very thankful for a Father that likes to do wood in the fall and summer so we can keep our wood heater going. Which not only keep the heat bill down, but it definently keeps the house warmer throughout the day. With all the snow we've had, we'd be shoveling it all out of our driveway if it wasn't for a man that we found to plow. (By we I mean my Dad, and my brothers Steven and peter.)
Hope you stay warm!!

Red skies
I was reading Matthew 16 the other day and ran upon this verse: (I have to start at the beginning to get the context of it)
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired Him that He would show them a sign from Heaven.
He answered and said unto them, "When it is evening, ye say, 'It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.'
And in the morning 'It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring.' "
Jesus goes on to call them hypocrrites, that they can discern the skies but not the signs of the times. And that there will be no sign except for the sign of Jonah.
Anyway what stuck out to me was the fact that even in Jesus' time they knew that little saying; 'Red sky in the moring saliors take warning, Red sky at night saliors delight.'
I had always known that saying was old but just the fact that is was over 2,000 years old just stuck out to me.
