its that time of year


starting to get cool, especially at night... not wanting to use the gas fireplace... gonna plug in my oil heater soon and try to save on the gas bill. i'd disconnect gas entirely except i *think* it might have something to do with having hot water, too. cold showers do not appeal.

i was talking with a friend about how to stay warm at night in a cold room... came up with hot stones (no hot water bottles for me, the rubber usually stinks), wearing socks, and wearing a toque. a toque especially works for me, i guess cuz we lose most of our body head through our head. ...the blood flow fueling up the brain for a night of crazy pizza dreaming, maybe...?

my favorite time of year. heat is something that actually draws me in, instead of making me run to the freezer section... leaves pretty, breezes in the treezes, weather constantly changing.

the only cramps in my fall style are the building up of mouldering leaves, having to close the windows more, wood smoke in the air... all not so great for my asthma.

    I feel ya on the cold weather.. I can't figure out how to turn up the heat. So I put a sweater on and a jacket over it.(the only two things I have while waiting for the rest to come in the mail.)

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
