I'll tell you how the sun set...a ribbon at a time!

"I sometimes look into the endless heavens, the cosmos of which we can't find the edge, and ask God what it means. Did You really do all of this to dazzle us? Do You really keep it shifting, rolling round the pinions to stave off boredom? God forbid Your glory would be our distraction. And God forbid we would ignore Your glory."
excerpt from: Through Painted Deserts by Donald Miller

Let it Snow!!

What is winter with no snow? Just cold.....what fun to see snow two times here in Hotlanta.....It came down in big, beautiful flakes and then hung around long enough for a village of snow people to be born and frolick on the lawns for a day!

OK, so the city shut down and flights were canceled or delayed, businesses lost some money, and ice scrapers had to be dug up and actually used, but it made me feel like a kid again....it made me long to be home in Michigan where we had the exact same big, flaky, beautiful, magical snow on New Year's Eve.......except the accumulation was 10 inches!

It was so great to see people outside building a snowman, kids that have never seen this "white wonder" stand in awe and then throw snowballs at each other......how can you have a decent childhood without ever throwing a snowball?

After the first snow last Wednesday, I woke up and found two snowballs in the freezer! Cute Aubrey, but you're still not gonna get me!!

Hope this winter you find magical moments and a deeper appreciation for our glorious creation and that you find the true JOY of the Creator of snow LIVING in you!
