Anything Can Happen...

As i write this i am sitting next to the fire in my fireplace, drinking a cup of coffee and gazing out at the falling snow.  That's right people, snow.  Not ice.  I think i had forgotten how beautiful real snow actually is.  I keep sneaking out onto my back porch for little snippets of time and gazing in awe at the falling snow making criss cross patterns as it falls and bouncing softly upon the grass...begging God to make it stick, and then running inside because i can no longer handle the cold.

It's a beautiful thing, this snow.  It's just another way that i am astounded at the Creator.  I know there are so many ways to describe natural occurrences of the world...but honestly?  I can swallow the concept of snow...but the beauty?  The feeling that arises in me when i see it fall?  The sound it makes when it lands gently upon already fallen snow?  That can only be by the work of God.

I've got heaps and heaps of commitments to fulfill today (surprisingly), yet all i want to do is coop up in my house and read next to the window and the fire with my coffee and several good books.

We'll see what happens i guess.  I mean, it is still the week of Santa Ana winds...Anything can happen.

aahh... SNOW! the possibility of this phenomenon alone is what makes winter worth while (in my opinion)... i'm still praying that we'll get a big snow that STICKS..(today was a bit of a teaser.. God's just getting us ready for what is to come) but timing is everything.. so maybe it'll be in a few weeks or something ;-)
