Seasons come and seasons go - Most of the time

The following is a statement from our daytime/weekend weather man. 


"Keyc Mankato
Snow Facts about our notable season: Since November 1st, 84.5 inches of snow. That's nearly 30" more than what we had last year (56.5", which seemed like a lot!) We've had snow on the ground since November 13th. That's nearly 4 months of snow... 1/3 of the year! -Meteorologist Mitch Keegan"




Now don't take me wrong. I LOVE winter. It is by far my fav season. But most of our seasons aren't normally this long, we have lots of "in-between seasons". The truth? I'm tired of having to wear sunglasses anytime I'm outside to not be blinded by the sheer whiteness of everything. I'd like to see some green, and wear a t-shirt without a hoodie. pretty please? Oh And well.. even with our 25 foot dikes they're really worried about flooding. :( North Mankato is well below the dike line and there's already talk of people moving stuff out of the valley and getting sandbags.... *sigh* The tragedies of a long winter. Oh and quite a few of the schools have extended their school year due to an unusual amount of snow days...

Now, one of the things I love about Minnesota is that we have seasons, you never get bored, as soon as you start getting tired of one season the next one comes. But until this year I've never gotten bored of winter. The only highlight of it at this point is that I am getting a LOT of winter weather driving in.... hehe...

I love winter, but being a Minnesotan at heart, I'm ready for the next season. Maybe an Easter with no snow?

In Christ

I battle not against flesh...

" Finally,  be strong in the Lord and in  the strength of his might. Put on  the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against  the schemes of the devil. For  we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against  the rulers, against the authorities, against  the cosmic powers over  this present darkness, against  the spiritual forces of evil  in the heavenly places. Therefore  take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in  the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore,  having fastened on the belt of truth, and  having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and,  as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up  the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all  the flaming darts of  the evil one; and take  the helmet of salvation, and...

I Believe In A Lie

Everyone has a lie that plays in the back of their head so often that they don't know when they started believing it, or where the lie came from, it's just a recognized fact. My lie is that I am alone in the world.  I don't think anyone ever told me that I was alone in the world, or that it was my job to protect myself from the universe, but it is most definitely how my brain has functioned for as long as I can remember. Wherever I've moved or whoever I'm around, this lie follows me. As I've gotten older I have come to a place in life where I recognize that this is a lie, and some days I can even not believe it. But still, this lie persistently lives in my head. I think I can say with confidence that this is a lie of the enemy that I will fight the rest of my life.  Recently, this lie has been winning more battles than I care to admit. Let me explain. You see, throughout college, God was pushing me and molding me. Part of this molding was le...
