ENOUGH ALREADY!!! I'm almost
positive that I share this thought with most people regarding the miserably
cold temperatures that has had a death grip on much of the United States -
definitely the upper Midwest. It’s like a constant running nose that causes a
person to go through an entire box of Kleenex in a day, or a sore back that
makes you realize how much you use your back muscles every minute of the day,
even when you’re trying to sleep.
Back to the ugly subzero
temperatures, it was getting pretty old trying to avoid it...having to put on
multiple layers of clothing just to take out the garbage, or having to let your
car run for an eternity so it's somewhat warm enough to sit in. I HAD ENOUGH of
sitting around, so I asked my wife if she wanted to go on a hike New Year’s Day
to enjoy the great outdoors. She looked at me like I was crazy and said, “you
know how cold it is, right?” I took that as a yes, so we bundled up and headed
out the door.
The destination was a nearby
waterfall. I figured the current sub-
zero temperatures, combined with a
waterfall, would create something spectacular…at least it was worth a look. It
was reassuring to see we weren’t the only people there, and the view was well
worth it. It seemed nothing good could come from such bitter temperatures, but
thankfully we didn’t let them win. After a couple minutes though, the sub-zero
wind-chill was starting to bite at our faces, so we took a few pictures before
our camera froze and headed back to the car, which seemed to run for another eternity
before we were warm again.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice
always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s
will for you in Christ Jesus.
