Winter descended overnight and is still shedding her evidence all over town. As we prepare to witness the peaceful exchange of power in our country, the snow is a reminder of a greater truth. There is One who longs to bless, to blanket our days with peace and promises.
Even in the midst of war and conflict and opposing sides, there is hope. And between the snow and the Inauguration, I have 2 perfect excuses to avoid any productive activity and watch TV in my pjs.

January 20, 2009 at 11:29 AMhmmm – never thought of using the inauguration as an excuse to be non-productive. Now you’ve got me thinking…

January 20, 2009 at 7:26 PMExcept for 30 minutes of prep for 15 minutes of playing in the snow, it was a pj-clad, anti-productive day here as well.
