Rainy and cold weather here this weekend. Lots of muddy fields and slick roads all around, so I believe we're seeing the front edge of what is the winter season. bring it on! We're ready for the holidays to begin. This is fine, stay-at-home-in-your-socks-and-dink-hot-tea weather. I'm relaxing for the first time in many a week.-------
I've been studying the book of Jeremiah today and find him a fascinating man with a heavy burden to bear. Chapter 11 of Jeremiah lets us know that the home-town prophet was not welcome. His words of correction weren't being accepted by the people who knew him from youth; his friends and neighbors alike were warning him to stop preaching. Possible violence was threatened. Yet this man relied on God and kept moving forward.
Amazing the boldness and power that God can give to the common folk like you and me whenever we let Him take over.
"God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain." - CS Lewis
