At no time while living in any part of Florida should a person require 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts, a heavy sweatshirt, and gloves to run. Never. I left about 5:50 this morning wearing said outfit. It was 16 degrees. Yes folks, it was 16 degrees in the sunshine state. (It’s 7:40 now and only 17 degrees) I think I could have done without the second shirt; I was feeling a bit overheated by the end of the first mile.
Here’s a few pictures from our frozen state for you.
I have a bucket I keep outside to collect rain water for my plants. This is what was on top of the bucket last night. OMG. Ice!!!!!!! The kids were loving this.
Hannah thought it was crazy!
This is our mailbox. Normally it’s green, but today is a nice shade of frozen. ;) This was after my run this morning; you can see my big foot at the bottom. I think my calves are still slightly frozen.
The sun was just coming up as I got back. I love that time of the morning. I hate getting out of bed so early, especially when it’s so darn cold, but I love it when I’m out there and when I accomplish what I set out to do. This morning was just over 3 miles.
My poor, dirty bucket was frozen again this morning. I’ll have to show the girls when they finally get out of bed. They better get up soon!
This should be our last extremely cold morning. Well, at least I think it’s going to be our last one. I like cooler weather, but this is crazy! We are still in Florida, right? Yep, I see palm trees, but I think they’re frozen right now.

Knight family,
I wondered if you might be interested in participating in a blog tour for a newly released inspirational book for Christian parents. One Million Arrows: Raising Your Children to Change the World casts a vision for parents to see what's possible when they disciple their children and engage in the Great Commission as a family using God-given resources and talents. The book features many young people and families (including homeschooling families like the Harrises and the Tebows) who are currently changing the world for Christ. Ministry leaders like Josh McDowell, Dennis Rainey, Franklin Graham, Ron Luce, and many other recognized names have endorsed it.
One special feature of the book is that ALL profits benefit orphan care and ministry worldwide. The message emphasizes investment in orphaned children worldwide who are being raised and discipled to change their countries for Christ.
If you would like to participate, please email me at info@onemillionarrows.com. The blog tour is scheduled for early March and I will send you a free book if you want to participate. I will also offer completed book review text for the blog tour for your convenience.
Btw, I used to live in FL...it's crazy how cold it's been! So much for global warming, huh?
Thanks so much for your consideration for the blog tour. Visit us at www.onemillionarrows.com.
