After close to two weeks of above-average temperatures across Southern Manitoba, punctuated by another beautiful December day Thursday, Old Man Winter will make a comeback Friday and spoil our Summer Vacation.

“It’s quite likely more daytime high records will have been set on Thursday, with temperatures again reaching 8 to nearly 10 degrees in areas near the U.S. border,” explained CMOS Accredited Weathercaster Chris Sumner. “That would be the second consecutive day where highs were nearly 15 degrees above average for this time of year.”

Wednesday and Thursday will be the warmest days of this most recent stretch of above average weather Southern Manitoba has been enjoying. The general trend of daytime highs being 5 to 10 degrees warmer than usual has been happening for some time now, and will be punctuated by today and tomorrow when temperatures may end up 15 degrees above normal for this time of year.

Averages for the first week of December are -7 daytime and -16 overnight.

Romans 14:13

Each one of us belongs to the same Lord. When we stop dictating, it is easier for others to mature as they follow the Lord's directing.

Freeing others means we never assume a position we're not qualified to fill. This, in one sentence, is enough to stop any person from judging another. We're not qualified. We lack full knowledge.

How often we have jumped to wrong conclusions, made judgmental statements, only to find out later how off base we were...then wished we could cut off our tongue. What keeps us from being qualified to judge?

John 10:14-15

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
