Ps 119:105 A lamp to my feet is your word, a light to my path. Mk 4 Jesus said to his disciples, "Is a lamp brought in to be placed under a bushel basket or under a bed, and not to be placed on a lampstand? For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible; nothing is secret except to come to light..."

I’m not going to lie, I needed a lifeline on this one. So, I did a little research on bona fide benefits of winter.
