There, peeping above the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up and out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing; there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. J.R.R. Tolkien

Snow Day

Yesterday, the grumpies were hitting me hard. No big reason. Just one of those days. The LAST thing I wanted to do was go to the effort of building our snow chute and bundling everyone up. Sitting in a grumpy haze and schlepping laundry around was more my speed. Well, Brian changed plans on me. Seems he didn't think my grumpy haze was the best idea. He built the snow chute, I grumpily bundled up the kids, and.....we played for hours. OK, it was FUN. Actual fun. Turns out the last thing I WANTED was the first thing I NEEDED. It's that way sometimes with God too. I find myself not wanting to expend the effort to pray or study or read or journal. Then, I go the counterintuitive route and do it anyway and find out it's EXACTLY what I needed. I think I'm done with ALL CAPS emphasis for the day. Here are some pix:

It's always fun to get comments, but if you post anonymously, I don't know who you are! It would be super if you would leave your name.
