“Happy New Year, Readers: Betty Shotton taught me one of my favorite songs, “Gentle Shepherd, come and lead us, for we need You to help us find our way”…”come to feed us…help us face another day”.  Those words are my prayerful and hopeful prayer for 2017.

After two relatively warm days to start the new year, temperatures will drop below the freezing mark at least through Friday night.

Sunday and Monday will be mostly sunny with above-seasonal highs in the mid- to upper 40s. Overnight lows will be in the low teens to 20s.

Once the temperature drops below freezing Monday night, don’t look for warmer temperatures to return before Saturday as a cold air mass drops into the area. The high will be in the mid- to upper 20s Tuesday and Wednesday, with overnight lows falling to the mid-single digits.

So he went to bed and read. Mrs. Doc came in a few minutes later.

Jesus said that you have the poor with you always. We will never erase poverty but there is good reason to help the poor. “If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord-and he will repay you!” Proverbs 19:17
