Sing unto the LORD a new song. Psalm 149:1b KJV As shoppers hurried into the mall to escape the winter winds, one man ambled towards the entrance to a store, methodically tapping his cane.

Diane Virginia: Inconvenient Blessings
In our rural community, we experience power outages due to severe winter weather. We prepare by placing ice bags in our freezer, and no one lifted the lid. We hunker down next to the fireplace, play board games, and heat our dinner on the gas stove. If the impending outage is expected to last more than a day, we choose sleeping spots near the fireplace.
