I Should Check the Weather More Often

No idea! Last night as I left my Pastor's house (during halftime of the then out of hand BCS game), it was snowing a tiny bit. Just flurries really. This morning, what you see in the video is our reality. Now that the passive stress of Christmas has passed, I like what I see. I'm much more relaxed then I was a couple weeks ago, having to make plans for travel, who fits what size, what food to bring where, etc. Therefore, today's snow stands alone rather than being that "one more thing to contend with." It's nice....as I watch it fall I am reminded of the Gospel and God's promise to make our sins white as snow (Is.1), AND the pomise that like the snow coming from Heaven does not return, but waters the earth, so the Word of God will not return to Him before it accomplishes His bidding (Is.55). Today I'm thankful for God's mercy when I am actively undeserving, and that one day in His great Grace He sent His Word to my hard heart and granted me new life by it. That He has entrusted us as stewards of such a protected Gospel.... One that God Himself assures won't fail. I appreciate the reminder. Let it snow!!
