Frigid Weather and Roe vs. Wade

It is getting pretty cold out, and it will get colder. Today Doug and I were out filling the feeders when it was -4 degrees. The wind chill was -24 degrees. The weather warning said, at least for this weekend, the wind chill is supposed to reach 40 below zero. I'm sure the really cold temperatures will continue beyond this weekend. It always seems to happen around now, too.

It is almost like God is saying something about Roe vs. Wade. The anniversary of that sad court decision is next Saturday, January 22nd. I'll probably be able to bring Doug out for this year's march. The only thing to stop me from going is going into labor. Last year, I marched in a group of strangers, because it was a weekday and Doug had to go somewhere. I have to dig some recent newspapers out of the recycling pile to copy the meeting information that I forgot to copy the other day. One would hope they would print that more than once, though. Anyway, what I was saying before is that it was bitterly cold for last year's march, also. Obviously, God is pro-life, but maybe He does turn down the temperature to get our attention. Honestly, you would think that He would turn up the temperature to give us a hint that we are going to Hell for killing His innocent children.

Actually, last year or the year before, the cold snap was followed by a slight warming trend. It got to right around freezing. After temperatures and wind chills that are this vicious, somewhere around 32 degrees Fahrenheit is downright tropical! I remember the ice separating from the driveway, so I could scrape it off. What was notable about it was that I was doing it while wearing toeless sandals, shorts, and a short-sleeved shirt. I was not cold at all. Maybe this year will be the same. After all, pregnancy has made me a furnace. I'll probably wear a sleeveless t-shirt this year.
