					<description><![CDATA[Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. &#8211; Philippians 4:11-13 NLT Wild turkeys, like the four pictured above, actively consume a large variety of food during their lifetimes. Their diet changes with the seasons, and they tend to forage on whatever is available. &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[O LORD, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions &#8211; Psalm 104:24 One very cold winter morning, this snow-covered young buck walked through our backyard. I think the temperature was close to single digits. The water in the black bucket at the animal’s feet was frozen solid. Deer generate internal body heat by burning energy from the food they’ve eaten. This internal heating system allows the deer to keep a relatively constant body temperature regardless of the surrounding environment. The body temperature of a healthy white-tailed deer such &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[God&#8217;s voice is glorious in the thunder. We can&#8217;t even imagine the greatness of his power. &#8220;He directs the snow to fall on the earth and tells the rain to pour down. &#8230; We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty; but even though he is just and righteous, he does not destroy us. No wonder people everywhere fear him. All who are wise show him reverence.&#8221; &#8211; Job 37:5-6, 23-24 NLT Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. &#8211; James 4:10 NKJV &#8220;Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things &#8230;]]></description>

And who is a rock, except our God? God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places. &#8211; 2 Samuel 22:32-34 Have you ever walked with someone in &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19 &#8220;Come now, and let us reason together,&#8221; Says the LORD, &#8220;Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18 On an early morning hike through freshly fallen snow, Cosmos the Wonderdog, my wife, and I came upon the tracks pictured above. They were probably made just a few hours earlier, &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How amazing are the deeds of the LORD! All who delight in him should ponder them.&#160; Psalm 111:2 NLT Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can&#8217;t see&#8211;such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Colossians 1:15-17 NLT Snow in &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Who is the mother of the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens? For the water turns to ice as hard as rock, and the surface of the water freezes. Job 38:29-30 NLT Almost everything contracts when frozen. Water, (H2O), however, is one of the few substances that actually expands when it cools from a liquid to a solid. At about 39º F, water expands slightly. But at 32º F, water expands quite a bit, about 9 percent of its volume. The fact that water expands when frozen is critical to life on earth. As water freezes &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.   Jeremiah 8:50 It has been cold in the mountains of late. I saw this old homestead a couple of days ago and had to stop and try to capture the setting in a picture. Seeing the broken down timbers and open windows made the wind feel a bit colder as I snapped the shutter. I wondered how many generations were raised here, and when was the last time anyone actually lived in this old place. I imagined there once was a lot of life scurrying about both &#8230;]]></description>
