someday all cold will pass away....

Current temperature in Memphis: 16 degrees.

This morning, the wind chill was -2.

I was over at Evan's last night after Wednesday Bible study (which has started back! Yay!). We were watching TV and I kept seeing SNOW ADVISORY in the corner of the screen. This usually means nothing to us city dwellers, so I ignored it. When I decided to go home, he opened the door and there was a dusting of snow on everything. :) It's kind of nice to experience Real Winter. I don't know how you could ever get tired of seeing snow. Snow is pretty and fluffy and almost miraculous. Rain is wet and drippy and ruins my hair. No comparison.

Bible study was wonderful. It's so refreshing to hear good teaching. Now that my church has decided the college/career group doesn't need a minister and we should take care of our own spiritual needs, I have been a little starved for good instruction. :P Jean is teaching on Glorification, for the next couple of months. He talked about how we, as believers, don't think of heaven as much as we ought, and how we should see our present sufferings in the light of our future joy. The funny thing is, this isn't something I struggle with. In fact, I sometimes worry that I think of heaven too much. Every time I feel hopeless about my life, I remind myself that someday I will be in heaven with Christ, and my sin and struggle and worry will be over. That's where my hope is. Jean said that this is a good way to think. I was glad to hear it. :)

Now it's lunchtime.

Snow over a foot is dangerous to drive in. Rain is not. (Freezing rain is the worst, though, I guess.) That's the difference. ;)

(Yes, I agree, it is pretty :D. And I figure that if it's going to be cold, there might as well be snow. I just don't like the dangerous part.)

Yay! Pretty snow! Bleh, here it's just bone chilling cold. GACK!

I think you have a healthy attitude about heaven. How does that saying go... "... thinking so much of heaven that we are of no earthly good?" Something like that...

Wow, 16, that's practically shorts weather! Us -16ers could use some of that. I still say I should ship you some snow and cold weather, we've had enough of both for the year :)
