I would joke about paying your gas bill, BUT thats not even funny ITS FRICKEN COLD!!! I wish I could help.

Check your pilot and see if it is on and that you have power to the furnace. If the gas is on, you have an electrical issue. If it isn't, make sure your release valve didn't somehow get turned off. If the gas valve is still on but you have no pilot, they shut off your gas, or well your pilot went out and you just need to relite it. If your furnace clicks on or begins the start cycle, but does not fire up, you probably have an ignitor that is acting up. You can in that case take that out and scrub them off with fine sandpaper or steel wool and put it back in and it will turn back on. If that is not it, you need to call someone because parts will need to be replaced.

my heat went out when i lived in OKC, i woke up at 6:30 in the morning and the temp in the apt was 40

What spyder said. Also, if the blower shuts down right after the burner kicks on it's usually a dirty flame sensor.

Gas is on. . . I have 2 gas fireplaces and they are working, so I'll have heat in the living room and master bedroom. The "good news" is that my wife and kids are away until Saturday so it's just me that's cold.

In checking the furnace I have an error for "high limit" I shut electrical, and pilot gave it a few minutes and the code reset.

I had heat for about 2 minutes and then out again. This sucks!!

This is true. We went through this a while ago. However, it turned out to not actually be a dirty flame sensor, but a faulty circuit board that made it act like a dirty flame sensor. Those guys were so sick of coming out here.

Glad to hear you at least have some heat Joe.

Oh man, I feel for you. Ours went out the other day and our house was 51 when I woke up. It was the ignitor which was an easy fix but the part took a while to get here- those were a cold few days. I just googled the model and symtoms and then started testing where power was and wasnt. Good luck!
