I couldn't even imagine that especially in the heat we are experiencing now. Sometimes it sends you a little crazy!!! Anyway hope you don't have any bushfires your way this summer. I'm sure God will protect your property.

Is this why we are able to cease from our labour and rest?

To enter into rest we must cease from our own labor....Does not Hebrews state as much? Self effort will never gain rest....and what was it that caused the Hebrews miss the rest in the land? THEY DID NOT BELIEVE....amd GOD WAS CLEAR...I WILL DRIVE THEM OUT FROM BEFORE YOU......

Theee have been a few.....one a week ago almost resulted in an evacuation order, but....the NEPEAN river stands between me and the Blue Mountains and the grass on the other side is kept short so.....not too worried....the worse thing is running out of water.....The Warragamba dam which feeds Sydney is at about 45% capacity and dropping fast.....many towns in NSW and Queensland are about to have the "taps" shut off......not good

-25celsius is standard winter here too. i like the weather where you live. i love snow and cold. true viking i was born here and will probably live here til i die unless Jesus comes back or tells me to move somewhere. i love it here. no big bugs, only one venomous snake, great scenery, great weather with no natural disasters.

i know many places in midwest america got good winters, but the summers are then too warm for my liking over 30c too much. alaska is better hahaha.

No, that is not good at all. What really gets me is these stupid people that start fires on purpose for the attention and cause people and their properties heartache.

Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.
