It was very cold all day – snowed on and off but just a dusting stuck to surfaces. I opted for the treadmill this morning! Also mixed up a batch of scones and picked up a Jioio’s pizza for lunch. And brought Chrissy over for a while. She was drawing pictures in the snow on the deck, then huddled under her favorite blanket.
Nate started prepping and painting about 10am, and I had to run out and get a few project-related items. I bought a floor lamp, came home and put it all together — got to the LAST PIECE and the threads were stripped and it wouldn’t stand up! BACK to the store, but thankfully they had another one. Put it together and all is very well.
Got the ceiling done, and the closets, some trim — one coat of blue on the walls. Tomorrow is more blue, baseboards, a light above the door, and a smoke detector. THEN the immense task of putting it all back together. A project for sure, but one with wonderful results!
I will share Rod’s message from Martin’s Ferry – Trust and Faith. When the 12 spies went into Canaan, 10 said IT CAN’T BE DONE! But Caleb and Joshua said WE SHOULD TAKE POSSESSION! GIVE ME THE BALL! Ten thought it was impossible, and because of their lack of faith and trust, God made the the Israelites wander 40 years in the wilderness. Caleb and Joshua were the only ones that lived to see the promise land. Remember this: 1) There are more negative people in the world than positive. 2) Don’t listen to them! Keep getting up, and keep going. Success is determined by your attitude, so keep it positive, and have trust and faith.
On this day in 1870 Virginia was the 8th state readmitted after the Civil War, and in 1918 the 18th Amendment was ratified (Prohibition of alcohol). In 1941 US vice admiral Bellinger warned of an assault on Pearl Harbor.
TOMORROW is January 17 is:
Looks like a great day to grab a drink if you’re into that – I’m decidedly not! I’ll have a hot tea and fresh scones and listen to one of my seven ‘guys’! Have a great Lord’s day, as my mom would always say! God bless…
