I want to express my gratitude to whatever gods there may be that tonight here in Oklahoma City I am listening to jazz music, sitting in an easy chair with a purring cat in my lap as we both stare into a small fire in the fireplace and that I am not living out of doors or in a mission.  I am comfortable and happy.  I am grateful.  It’s cold and wet and windy and raining outside.  I haven’t ventured out, I’m willing to trust the weather reports on this one.  It just LOOKS cold!  BRRRRRR!!!!!!
