IT IS BRUTAL OUT THERE
By John Kerr

            It is early morning and I am in Ashland, Ohio reading and thinking and typing.  I am in my mother-in-law’s house beside the bay window in her sun room.  Yesterday she passed away.  It was sixty three degrees and the sun was shining.  Today the temperature is twenty seven degrees and the wind is fierce.  I can hear it howling at the window.  Snow is blowing, trees are straining to stand up, the flag across the road has a starched look to it.  I am warm and dry.  In the midst of the brutal weather I am sheltered.

            The song “SHELTERED IN THE ARMS OF God” is camping out in my head:  I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender, they're leading me in paths that I must trod.  I'll have no fear for Jesus walks beside me, for I'm sheltered in the arms of God.  So let the storms rage high, the dark clouds rise, they don't worry me, for I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God.  He walks with me and naught of earth shall harm me, for I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

            Soon I shall hear the call from Heaven's portals, "Come home, My child, it's the last mile you must trod."  I'll fall asleep and wake up in God's new heaven, for I'm sheltered in the arms of God.  So let the storms rage high, the dark clouds rise, they don't worry me, for I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God.  He walks with me and naught of earth shall harm me, for I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

            Romans 8:35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:

            “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Come as you are and grow with us!
