HAPPY THURSDAY !!
Tonight will be Trick or Treat night here at my house. I hope it warms up a bit as the sit on the porch is going to be a very cold one if not.
My work is just about done for the week and the boss seems to be persistently staying in the office so I cannot clean. I’m going to work on purging some old files today instead. I usually save that for after the 1st of the New Year, but I’m getting desperate to find something to do. I’m going to go slow with it and make some nice new labels for the files so maybe I can keep busy for the 2 remaining days of this week.
I saw some more of those white things floating in the air yesterday, but from the looks of the radar on the weather most of that went east of us. I went to Kohls on my lunch hour and people were going crazy over winter coats. That will be good for the economy I suppose. I already have mine so I was not one of the crazies. I did get a couple more pairs of wool socks though. They keep my feet so nice and toasty.
Hope you all are keeping warm !
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S REFLECTIONCertain Pharisees came to Him. 'Go on Your way!' they said. 'Leave this place!'
Luke 13:31
When it comes to spiritual warfare, there is truth in the axiom: "Give him (Satan) an inch and he'll take a mile." Because God protects His servants when He sets them in their place, Satan can't budge us when we occupy the position God has for us. Therefore, Satan tempts us to move, to "leave this place" (Lk 13:31). If he can manipulate us into stepping out of God's position for us, then Satan will soon shove us as far away from God as he can.
Notice that Jesus was specifically tempted to "go" out of position and "leave this place." The Pharisees told Jesus that Herod was trying to kill Him (Lk 13:31). Jesus knew that, in His God-given position, no harm would come to Him until His hour had come. In addition, Satan tempted Jesus to fear death by Herod. It turned out that Jesus had nothing to fear from Herod, for when Herod had a golden opportunity to actually kill Jesus, he didn't kill Him or even harm Him (see Lk 23:7-12).
Notice Jesus' answer to the Pharisees: "I must proceed on course" (Lk 13:33). Jesus didn't budge an inch
Ask God if you are in the place He wants you to be. If not, follow His directions to get into that place very soon. Then "hold your ground" (Eph 6:13). "Stand fast" (Eph 6:14). "Stand firm" (Eph 6:11). "Fear not! Stand your ground, and you will see the victory the Lord will win for you...The Lord Himself will fight for you; you have only to keep still" (Ex 14:13-14
