Get Fit
After getting up at 6 and getting ready for work, then getting a text that I wasn't working today - I did what anyone would do.  I put my pajamas back on.  It was an extra effort to talk myself into putting on my exercise clothes (yes I wear exercise clothes to work out in) and work out with Jillian.  The upside of all this is that I was much warmer after the workout.  Do what you can!

Get Faith
My small group Bible Study has been meeting for a couple years.  I considered dropping it but now have assumed the leader role in the group.  Funny how that works.  Tonight we meet to discuss this passage from Mark 8:27-30  "Jesus went on with his disciples to the village of Caesarea Philippi.  And on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am?"  This is the center of this study to me.  Who do I say He is?  Who do you say He is?  Consider this today.  Who is Jesus to you?

On this day
2014  - We were getting snow on this day.  6 to 8 inches of it.  My neighbor Ty and I got out our snowblowers and shovels and started cleaning sidewalks and driveways.  We always did all the elderly peoples drives and a lot of the neighbors sidewalks and then we sat out in the garage and surveyed our handy work with a beer.  We were probably warm after all that work so the cold wasn't as bad as our thirst.  It is a great memory of my buddy and I.  He moved away and it hasn't been the same since. I hope his new neighbors appreciate him.  Today is not a good day for this - too cold it is only 0 degrees right now.

1781 - Richmond, VA, was burned by a British naval expedition led by Benedict Arnold. Hey I know that name!
