my clodhoppers are hiding

where, oh where, have my clodhoppers gone...
where, oh where can they be?

*sighs*.... theres so much slush out there (i am not complaining, i love this weather like i do any other of God's weather simply because it *is* God's weather, so i think it's beautiful despite it's difficulties)... and i cannot find my clodhoppers....

... my great big size 11 purple snowmobile style boots. clunk clunk clunk.

and they are really what i need for today. my only other options are:

1. my faux-fur lined clogs - keeps the toes warm, and thick soles lift me up above some slush levels... but has an open heel, so no guarantees of staying dry... or,

2. my horrid 10-or-so-year-old extra-extra-wide $120 Toe Warmers velcro-flap boots, that are *not* warm, and outright leak.

and that's it.

why am i lamenting on my footwear woes? because 1. it's slushy out, and 2. i'm trying to get myself to walk to the once a year extravaganza 10,000 villages sale. to get my trinket, to say i've been there, get what will probably be my one christmas present to myself, and support a good cause.

i guess i'll go with the 'no guarantees of staying dry' footwear, over the 'outright leaky' boots. least there's some hope! lol

Outcast, Adopted.

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
