RAMBLING - it is cold

On saturday last at about 830am millie and me were on a rather long exit ramp about to do the final stretch for home. There was a fire truck coming towards us. We pulled  to the side, thought nothing too much of it. A woman kareened out of control and was killed on this same exit ramp a couple years back.   It turns out that a co worker had an accident in which a passenger in the vehicle he was driving was killed.   It was a school bus.   Somewhat of a heavy cloud has come over us.   Tuesday we tried to contact Jude about the big earthquake in his 'hometown'. He lost some people... details still coming in.   Last night pastor was talking about 'the pressures of life'. At first I was turned off....didn't want to hear anymore negative stuff.....but I had to take it in...just like the cod liver oil mummy used to make me take as a kid.   This morning I realised that I really needed the "wash out".   We don't always realise how complacent we become sometimes. It is so easy to go with the flow.   I did get another JOLT ! this guy was talking about THE COLD and THE BOLD   it is winter now here in the northeast, we are accustomed to the cold and the snow. Last sunday we missed the morning meeting. The furnace went out !....it was in the teens...15 degrees.   I noticed that it was snowing in florida and some places in georgia were in the twenties last week.   the two things that I must remember are: 1. what is in me will come out when I am under pressure a squeezed ripe banana will give gooey stuff a squeezed lemon wil give sour stuff a crushed apple ?   2. It is very cold...."the love of many will grow cold" I need to find ways to keep hot.
