Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him. This also will be my salvation, for a godless man may not come before His presence. - Job 13:15-16
Father, please help me to trust in You for whatever trouble comes my way. If Your servant Job trusted You in his trouble, I can always trust You. Amen.

Well, I finally made it to the end. I started reading your thread, Sam, when you first visited mine. I've read all the posts and really enjoyed them.
I did smile at your cold water comment though. You're in Arizona! How cold can the water be? Try the lakes up here in Canada!

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in the Lord. - Psalm 4:5
Further reading is Job chapters 38 through 42, where God correct Job's friends and restores Job.
Father, thank You that I can count on Your strength, mercy and grace. Set me free from things or people that keep me from You. Amen.

I have a friend who lives in the south-eastern corner of Arizona and I always tease her that the best time to come visit me is in January.

Brrr ... Canada in January
That's like saying the best time to visit Arizona is in August.
It sure is! I visited Arizona in January of 2007. I left Winnipeg on the coldest day of the winter. It was -50F or something like that and too cold for the de-icers for the plane wings to work so we had to wait a bit. When I got to Arizona, I was told that it was very atypically cold. And in fact, the morning we went to the Cactus Museum near Tucson, many cacti had bags and styrofoam cups covering them to protect them from the frost. I did manage to capture one little cactus with icicles hanging from it. It was still warmer than Winnipeg.
How old's your munchkin? I'm guessing about 12. I have four sons, ages 22-28.

Wonder if I can convince the munchkin that cheesecake is good?
Why would you WANT to convince him to like cheesecake? If he doesn't like it, that means more for you!

I think I'll take it! You don't have to convince ME to like cheesecake.

I suppose once you're in and completely numb you don't feel the cold any more. 
I told my boss it's a good thing I'm dependable!!
