Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! The week started off warm, but we finally started seeing a little cooler weather in the Natural State around the end of the week. Here’s a look at the temperature highs and lows over the past week from my Earth Networks weather station in Hot Springs.

Here’s this week’s Scripture passage!

I also want to take a moment to encourage everyone to pray for the victims of Hurricane Ian in Florida. I recently spoke to a friend of mine who lives there, and his home was destroyed in the storm surge, as well as millions of dollars worth of damage has occurred in Florida. Pray for the victims and for recovery efforts in Florida, as well as anyone affected by the hurricane when it came ashore in the Carolinas.

Finally, beginning this week, I will be featuring a link or two to a blog of a local writer in my area, Ashlyn Ohm, whose writings I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. You can follow her blog and podcast at Words from the Wilderness. She’s written two books, a weekly devotional A Year in the Woods, and her first novel, When the Ice Melts. I encourage you to pick up both of her works. They are excellent inspirational works.

This week, I’m going to provide a sampling of some of her older and recent posts from her blog for your enjoyment:

• Wild Goose Chase
• Growing Green
• Dark Sky
• True North
• Thin Places
• Truth on the Top

Another feature I used to contribute to social media was a weekly Scripture passage on Sunday’s called “Scripture Sunday”. Since I am no longer on social media, I’m bringing the feature to the end of my Weekly Wrap Up blog posts instead.

Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week began to see a little cooler weather in the Natural State as the week progressed. Here’s a look at the temperature highs and lows over the past week from my Earth Networks weather station in Hot Springs.

There are a few scattered showers and thunderstorms across the state this afternoon. Here’s a couple of high-res radar images. If conditions worsen, I’ll post updates on my Arkansas Severe Weather Updates blog.

When I was on social media, I used to post a weekly link to a clip from Fraggle Rock I called “Friday Fraggle” to bring a little enjoyment each week. I’m moving the Fraggle posts to my Weekly Wrap Up! This week, Wembley sings before a school audience!

Finally, Sunday is September 11, so I want to take a moment to pause and remember this day in our history. May we never forget, and may we remember the brave first responders who served (and some gave their lives) during that tragic day.

I am happy to announce that I am launching a second weather blog on WeatherTogether.net, Arkansas Severe Weather Updates, coming soon!

This is a weather blog that will be available here. The blog is a companion blog to my main WeatherTogether blog. The differences between the two blogs is my main WeatherTogether blog hosts my weekly weather reports, whereas the companion blog will host shorter severe weather updates I’ll post during a severe weather event.

I setup this blog as a replacement for my posting severe weather updates on social media platforms after I left social media. Moving to posting severe weather updates on a blog have the following advantages to using social media:

1. More Context: Whereas social media posts are limited in the amount of words one can post on social media, blog posts can include more words, content, and images, providing more context to severe weather updates.
2. Less Noise: Since social media is used for other news and general discussions, severe weather updates have the ability to become lost in a sea of “noise”. Moving to a blog format eliminates the “noise” and allows readers to focus solely on severe weather updates.
3. Targeted Audience: With the increase in “noise” on social media, the targeted audience who need to read the severe weather updates may not be able to easily view or read them. Moving to a blog format, complete with the ability to follow the blog via email or RSS, ensures the people who will most benefit from the severe weather updates will be able to view and read them.

The reason this blog has been setup to be separate from my main WeatherTogether blog (instead of merely using a “Severe Weather” category on my main blog) is to keep these posts separate from the main WeatherTogether.net need and not overfill the feed with multiple severe weather reports (I didn’t want all my severe weather updates “drowning out” everyone else’s weather reports!).

Coming soon, you’ll be able to follow the blog via email (or RSS if you have a feed reader) so you’ll be able to have severe weather updates from me served up directly to you (I just need to get the sidebar added).

I’m looking forward to using this new format for covering severe weather, and I’m excited about the opportunities that await!
