Winter Break


Yesterday morning's temperature was 1 degree. Today we have had about ten inches of snow. Getting out to vote was a little chancey.
As I was driving home the snow was coming down in big, big flakes, beautiful to look at, uplifting, almost hypnotic. Now I am warm and peaceful at home.

As much as I like winter and snow and cold, I also look forward to getting to the Caribbean each winter. As I was eating lunch in Puerto Rico with some friends I got up and, with no planning, snapped this picture. Everything about it seems right, just as it should be. It reminds me of the warm and relaxed feeling I had there. God comes to me in cold and warmth, in snow and palm lined beaches.
