    I love the beauty of the snow and I love to look at it but can’t we stop at about 40 degrees? It’s PAST Burr!! No kidding I do love the versity that GOD gives us. Take some pictures of a bush, tree just anywhere outside then one in march, april etc. How beautiful and GOD stirring you will feel and see. Even when we are no lookinghe works endlessly for us.
    Thanks for the Picture!

    Yeah the snow in ‘93 was in March – my friend had come to Florida for her Spring Break and it snowed! lol
    ‘96 there was more north, but we just had “hood ornament snowmen” in Cantonment.

    My kids and I are so happy we might get snow! My brother and I played in the snow here in 1993 I think that year is right. It’s nice every few years but I wouldn’t wish for it all the time.
    Great picture!!

    Awesome Pic! The water in our lawn mower trailer was frozen too! Looked like a mini skating rink!

    Kathy, you’re right about communist being the enemy and spiritual wickedness being in high places.We’ve been going down hill for the last 8or 9 years now and we’ve all been to blind to see whats been coming.Look at all your mom and pop stores , gas stations , motels, hotels , look at who owns them. They come in here starts a business and work all of there family and friends in theses jobs so they dont have to fool with you and i.You’re out of a job and myself as well. It’s not just started that we’ve been lied to more than any of us could think of, but it would be a good start for all of us to start thinking for ourselves, and stop waiting for that lie coming to you from the news. It’s just like the weather man telling you its an 80% chance of rain today and its sunny ,its just a guess. I just hope and pray this country is not in a hole we cant dig ourselves out of.The next 5 months will tell, just stop, look, and listen We’ve already started to climb.

    Confused,

    I just try to take whatever opportunity arises to sound an alarm to all of us who may be too busy to watch. Global warming was mentioned. It was an easy transition. Most of us are busy working to provide for our families. Some of those who finally have the chance to do other things are watching for those who are too busy. Don’t brush us off as nuts without knowing why we do this. Many things we hear from the media in general, is not the truth.

    Yes. Beautiful ice fountain picture. I thought that fountain looked familiar. I do not think I have met any worker at Century Care Center who was not helpful. I hope they remain that way. I am not getting any younger. :)

    > By the way beautiful picture William.

    Mae Hildreth at Century Care Center took the picture this morning. She’s such a helpful person.

    ?????????????????????

    I don’t get it. We went from our week weather forcast to something about communist, facists and nazis.

    By the way beautiful picture William.

    Everyone please be careful in this weather.

    I don’t buy into the whole global warming thing… but just as an “FYI” – the global warming theory (at least 1 of them) is that the ice caps / glaciers will melt and travel through the oceans cooling them off , thus making warm climates cold and cold climates warm.

    Kathy,

    Thank God there are a few who do not believe all the lies we’ve been told all our lives, including this one. Some are just beginning to find out the magnitude of the lies. And, we once thought the Communists, Facists, Nazis, etc. were the enemy. The enemy is not without. He is within. And, not just in America, but everywhere. People need to wake up and learn what’s going on. There is “spiritual wickedness in hign places.” And, they operate through people.

    Well…..if there was any doubt that Global Warming was more than just a pipe dream….this winter has shattered it for sure
