Day 70

I am all done for the day. It was a little bit of a busy day today so it made it a little more challenging.I only have one month to go until I can quit counting. Hopefully I will be able to break that right away and it won't become some compulsive obsessive habit.

I did basically the same thing as yesterday except for one thing. I found that a barbeque brush for cleaning the grill works really well on scrubbing moss off concrete steps. That was one of my projects today until Mathew came out and took over. It was getting a little chilly out so I was more than willing to hand it over. The older I get the less I like being cold. Sometimes it takes about three days to feel warm again after I get cold. You know I think that is about the same amount of time it takes to thaw a turkey.

When I was young I ran around all the time without my coat and I was fine. When it snowed we would stay outside all day and our hands and feet would be so numb when we came in, they would sting as they thawed. We use to go sledding on the hill by the Stories house. It was huge hill in a cow pasture. I only ran into a cow once with the sled.

It was really not my fault the cow was not that close when I headed down the big hill. We some how met at the same place. Even though I don't like the cold anymore I still can not resist going out and building a snow man when we get snow on a rare ocassion and throwing a few snowballs and of course snow ice cream (  CLEAN snow, milk, sugar and vanilla extract).

Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. HEBREWS 12:1
