Mid-afternoon on the warmest day we've had for a while. The time/temp sign on North Main Street read 32 degrees when I walked by during my Rent Loop earlier. At the same time, it's breezy, so the "real feel" is still lower 20s. Oh well, it can try... LOL

Anyway, the latest news is that my oldest, Carissa, is actively seeing what can be done about making my mother's stay at the Nursing Home permanent. At the same time, my father has no heat in the apartment, AGAIN. So Carissa is also looking into the possibility of dad joining mom at the Nursing Home since the waiting list at the Veteran's Home may be too long for what he needs right now. Praying for doors to open that no man can shut, and close that no man can open!! Please join me!!* Meanwhile, I may have to take my father…

Almost 3:30 on this Saturday afternoon. My granddaughter, Brandi, was here overnight. Her father picked her up about 12:30. A couple of things we did this time were slightly "off brand", although still based off YouTube videos. First of all, one of the first things we saw was these people doing "Blind Karaoke". One person chooses the song and the other has to sing it without knowing what it is. We tried that for about 4 songs before moving on to other videos... LOL This afternoon, one of the last things we saw was these 2 girls using this app that provides random words. The point is that one person has to sing a song with that word in the title or be hit with something soft, like a pillow. We tried it on our own after the video finished. While I came up with songs almost immediately, on my…

Just before 3 p.m. and it's either STILL SNOWING or stopped and started again. IDK, but we're expected to get an additional 2-4 inches beyond whatever fell already.* I actually didn't see anyone post totals this morning on FB, but I'm sure there will be later.

No other updates, as I posted yesterday, so let's get right into it, shall we??

I honestly don't have anything for a typical Message Intro paragraph today because this message is closely connected to yesterday's. Or maybe it fits better to say that it's almost a continuation of it. As you will see, the common thread here is that the traditions of man are being uprooted by the Kingdom of God.

Turn with me to Mark 13 --

Mark 13:1-31

Since it's just after 2 p.m. and I'm in Concord, NH, I probably don't need to tell you that there's a blizzard outside, but due to the fact that some of you are from other parts of the world, I'm saying it anyway. I didn't go to church this morning because I didn't want to walk 4 blocks in the bitter cold. I'll just have to add this one to the TBW list when I get around to it later.

A lot has been going on since my previous post, not the least of which is that my mother fell again that same day. I don't think I mentioned it at that time because my father hadn't called me until later. She was in the hospital for several days before being transferred to a Nursing Home/Rehab center about 15 miles east of Concord. She has a broken wrist and bruised…
