This weekend we had our first measurable snow of the year.  I don’t think anything beat the site that could be seen with the Eagles and Lions game in Philadelphia.  I don’t think the snow bowl could compare.

When I think of snow, I think of Christmas.  This year my approach to Christmas is very different.  I don’t have all the decorations out, my big tree is still in the attic, I’m not singing in the choir.  Though my public display of Christmas is very muted, I pray my internal display of Christmas glows.  Without the love and peace of God, I would not be here.  My very existence depends on the presence and movement of God.

Ice outside our house

Our house with snow and ice

Well for the first time in awhile the weathermen were right.  We got ice Monday night, about a half inch worth.  So Curtis has had two days off from school.  It has been nice having the three of us at home, even if the dogs are a total loss.  Honestly I am looking a little bit forward to going back to work tomorrow.  I am dreading the drive, but it will be nice to be out of the house too.  I have enjoyed this down time, it is just making me really lazy.
