"It is as if two people were playing chess. At a certain point, one of the players rises from the table, leaving his opponent to ponder his next move. The opponent struggles with all the possibilities because he is determined to win. What he has not realized is that there are only a limited number of moves that he can make, and not one of them can change the outcome of the game. No matter what he does, he will lose.
Just so at the Cross, the outcome of the chess game between God and Satan was decided. God will certainly win. Satan, however, is presently playing out every conceivable option, imagining that somehow his rebellion will triumph. It will not.”
—David F. Wells, God the Evangelist (Carlisle, UK: World Evangelical Fellowship, 1997), 67

Stopping by to say "hi". The kids went out to play in the snow first thing this am. Not accomplishing much school today, as they are now doing little craft projects and I sit at the computer with my coffee.
I can't believe you are almost under 100 days until your little girl will be here. That's so awesome.
Pray your days are healthy, and that the fields are in.
