It was short-lived, but it was brutal. My own temperatures dropped to -13 degrees with the windchill. I had no plans of hunting during this time, but I did go hang out in my barn, around my Buddy Heater, on one afternoon. The sun was out but the wind was still blowing, which kept temperatures below zero. Nevertheless, about 90 minutes before dark, 5 doe decided to feed in my rye fi eld. They stayed about 30 minutes before making their way back to some deep hollow, away from the brunt of the wind. For me, even though I was in the barn and around my heater, I still felt every movement of wind on the areas of my body that were not completely covered with multiple layers. After all, that's what extreme conditions do. They expose the places that have been left without proper attention. They don't cause the places; they only expose them. The health of my faith works the same way. Normal conditions rarely cause us to give thought as to how our faith is growing. And at times, we can have a false sense of belief concerning our ability to put into practice those things we believe. We say we would react a certain way. Or we think we would respond a certain way. Or we believe our Christian honesty would uphold under all temptations. But then it is all put to the test. Something happens that brings extreme conditions. It's a death, a debt, or even a desire, that changes our environment. The temperatures these produce on us expose our weakness and reveal how fragile our faith really is. These changes didn't cause our reaction, they only revealed what was already there. I've heard many people assert how someone reacts or what someone says under the heat of the moment actually reveals who they really are. I don't believe that. I believe they only reveal who we are capable of being left to ourselves without the Spirit of God growing us and making us more like Christ. That's why we must be unashamed of our faith but also humble in it. A boisterous faith can lead to a condemning one. A condemning one can lead to a prideful one. And pride always comes before a fall. So, live in humility and when the extreme conditions come, let them reveal to you the areas that are still under the construction of the Spirit. And let them remind you how utterly dependent you are on the guiding hand of God.

By and large people feel comfortable heading to school or work every day, and returning to the secu- rity of their homes. But that doesn't mean individuals, particularly women, aren't vulnerable to unsafe situ- ations. In a January 2018 National Study on Sexual Harassment and assault survey of 1,000 women nationwide, 81 percent re- ported experiencing some form of sexual harassment, assault, or both in their life- times. Even though being the victim of an attack is gen- erally unlikely, it is best to understand how to avoid situations that put people at risk. Learning a few self- defense techniques can help as well. A study from the University of Oregon found that women who participated in self-defense classes felt they had better strategies in place and were more equipped to deal with strangers in the context of potential assaults. The following are some safety tips to consider. • Practice common sense. Avoid walking alone at night and in dark or isolated plac- es. • Stay away from people who make you uncomfort- able. • Enroll in a self-defense class. In such classes, in- structors can go over tech- niques in detail. • Always be moving when faced with an attacker. It's harder to hit or grab a mov- ing target. • Hit an attacker with the heel of your palm to reduce the risk of damaging your wrist or arm. • Keep your keys in your hand when walking and use them as weapons to defend yourself. • Aim for an attacker's vul- nerable areas, such as the eyes, nose, throat, or groin. • Use your elbows if you are unable to throw a strong punch. • Hitting a person in the celiac plexus (below the ribs and above the navel) can knock the wind out of him or her. These tips can help in the event of an attack. It also can help to pair up when- ever possible, as there is safety in numbers. ShelbyInfo.com In Print AND Online Our ClassiÀ eds Have It!
