All week we heard the forecast for weekend snow and bitter cold weather. And after some heavy rain Friday night, we woke Saturday morning to flurries and then enough snow to cover some of the ground, but not enough to really measure. But then the temperature dropped into the teens and the wind picked up to create some dangerous road conditions for Saturday night to Sunday morning. No drive to church, but a good message on the radio by J. Vernon McGee, from more than 30 years ago, but totally relevant for today. And with the frigid conditions, our water line, though insulated and heated at the standpipe, froze up and needed thawing, and the hot water line in the coach froze up and gave us low flow and no hot water to start our Sunday.
Fortunately the sun was bright today and it got into the high 30's. I was able to thaw the hot water line, changed a water filter, and by late afternoon, our water was hot, cold and running with better pressure. Tonight we will be in the low 20's, will drip warm water so we have both hot and cold water flowing from the standpipe and hopefully not freeze up again. It is certainly an adventure living year round in our motor home, but we still like the challenge of it and we seem to learn something new almost every day. Things like how to unthaw our door to get out of the coach, how to get keys to work in frozen locks, how to repair dresser drawer slides.............
Tonight it looks like we will have good weather to view the Super Blood Wolf Moon total lunar eclipse. Should be quite a sight on the top of the mountain and away from the city lights. We certainly have an interesting life, as we serve here in rural Arkansas. For everything we encounter, the hot and cold, the rain, ice and snow, the bright sun and the eclipsed moon, and for our friends and family............for all of it...............Thank You, Lord.
