Missed the Brunt
Wagoner missed the lion share of the ice storm. Wagoner Schools were open this morning. It took me nearly 20 minutes to clear the 1/4 inch of ice off the windows. I nearly killed myself going down the front steps. A little salt took care of that.
Audrey is feeling better this morning. Her fever was down to around 100 or so, so that is a lot better.
Sally's folks in Vinita lost electricity sometime during the night. PSO said probably sometime Wednesday to get it restored. The hospital has lost power and is on emergency generators and have lost their internet so Sally can't work today.
I am supposed to go to Muskogee this morning for the weekly Muskogee Baptist Assoc. weekly pastors' conference. I'm going to pass on it today.

Some goober went into New Life Church in Colorado Springs and opened fire. Police think this and the shooting at the YWAM missionary learning center to be related.
Does this not scream out "Last Days?"

Icicles
We had a HUGE DOWNPOUR just a little bit ago. It is really scary because it is about 30 degrees. We haven't had any thunder yet and all the power is still on in Wagoner, but we do have icicles hanging from the electric cables, eaves, and trees.
We decided that since Audrey is sick, if our power goes out, we'll have to go to a motel or something because it would be too dangerous otherwise. At last check, she was at 102 even.
Pray that she will get well soon and that our power won't go off.
Thanks.

Impending Ice Storm
A winter storm advisory is in effect for our area. We currently have freezing rain which is expected to continue for the next couple of days. My wife's sister in Vinita said that her power was off, but only on for an hour before going off again. She called PSO and they said "MAYBE" tomorrow around noon! At least my in-laws have power.
To be on the safe side, we cancelled services at church tonight. Most of our older folks would be the faithful ones to try and make it in, so I thought it would be best to not have services. Roads here in Wagoner aren't too slick yet, but it looks like it will get worse as the evening tears on.
We still have one sick kid in the house. Audrey has been extremely sick. Her fever was dangerously high last night and we gave her sponge baths to get it down. Today, it has been hovering around 102. She feels rotten. At least we got her some antibiotics to start working on her.

Gunman Kills 2 in Missionary Center
The Associated Press: Gunman Kills 2 in Missionary Center
Read the story in the above link:
Some goober went into the Youth with a Mission Missionary Learning Center in Arvada, Colorado and killed two! Police don't know what the motive was or who the shooter was, but I know that this isn't a good thing.
Pray for those left behind. Pray for this criminal to be found.

FOUND!
I was sitting in my easy chair last night and prayed that if I hadn't actually lost my digital camera and merely misplaced it, that God would let me find it today. Well.... as I was putting on my "preacher suit", I felt something hit against my leg when I put my coat on. I stuck my hand down in the pocket and found my digital camera!!!!! The funny thing is, I had checked all of the pockets of all my suits a week ago and didn't find it then. Hmmmmm.
Thank you Lord, for the little delights in life!

Beware of Scammers!
We've all gotten the email that offers us a percentage of millions of dollars from suchandsuch bank either in Nigeria, or Burkina Faso, or wherever.
I got an email from a guy in Hong Kong who is offering me 30% of $19,500,000.00 or $5,850,000.00. Not a bad deal if it wasn't both fraudulent and illegal!
The guy is supposed to be Li Le Song, who is a 22 year veteran Credit Officer for Hang Seng Bank in Hong Kong. Hang Seng is a reputable bank with a powerful presence in Hong Kong. This guy sent me what is supposed to be his bank ID and family picture, along with his address in Hong Kong.
After doing a little research, I found that this same scammer also uses the name Patrick Chan and he is supposed to be the CEO of Hang Seng. In the process of doing all of this, I found a really great site that lists many of these scammers and their letters, details, documents, etc.
Don't believe them when you get the letters in your email. There is no money going to be exchanged, except for what you send them. You'll get nothing.
Most likely, Li or Chan is a Nigerian living in HK posing as a Chinese Hongkonger.
Here is the website where I found that he also poses as Patrick K.W. Chan.
Another victim in this is the Chinese man listed in the pictures above. He has had his identity stolen.

Trying Times
This past week has been a hard week.
My dad's mother, Lottie Boyne, passed away last week and we buried her in Sapulpa, OK, yesterday.
Emily got really sick and had a 105.8 fever. She ran over 103 for three days. Turns out she has strep throat. She is feeling really lousy and had to miss Memaw's funeral. Sally couldn't get her in anywhere and had to take her to the emergency room for treatment.
Sally's computer had a "thermal episode" and shut down. It looks like it has shut down permanently. She makes her living as a medical transcriptionist using her computer and the internet. We broke down and bought her a brand new Dell, that should be here tomorrow.
This morning, Audrey woke up sick. She said she had a belly ache. Sally was able to get her in to see the doctor this morning. He administered a strep test, but she doesn't have it yet. He said her glands were swollen and she had a fever (low). He said that if she gets worse, all we have to do is call his office and he'll send a prescription in and we can go pick it up.
Isn't this the way it is? When it rains, it pours.
