LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOOOOOWWWW

Hey all you crazy Christians!

It's time to get on our knees and thank God for His wonderful blessing of snow! I'm talking about the 2.5 feet that is on the ground still and the other amount that is falling down from the sky as I type!

Stop whining everybody! God is good! Let's thank Him for the snow! It may be the last time we see it. Jesus may come and we may never see the snow again. I doubt there will be any in Heaven. I could be wrong, though. I know, it's hard to believe, me being wrong and all. It has happened before, I assure you.

Anyway, the snow is awesome! I know it is hard to dig your cars out and you get tired shoveling your driveways. I wish I had a garage so I could park my car in the snow. I would still have to clean the driveway. That's just the way it is for now. One day we won't have to worry about it anymore, but until then, embrace it and thank the Lord that you got to see it and be a part of it.

Just think of all those Israelites back in ancient Israel that probably never saw snow. Speaking of which, no wonder everybody hates everybody over in the Middle East. When your brain is frying at 150 degrees outside, you just want to pick up a rock and throw it at somebody. It is so stinking hot over there sometimes that you can fry an egg on the street, I hear. Who in their right mind would rather have that than the wonderful white snowfall surrounding their house and car?

The only drawback to the snow is that I can't get to church sometimes because it gets cancelled. When we do have service and it's snowing, we are one of like five families that actually shows up. A missionary friend of mine told me of his eldest member (74 years old!!!) that walked for an HOUR in 20 degrees with 6 inches of snowfall all day long just to go to church. I should mention that this happened in Ukraine, but the point is that we should go to church whenever we can!! Rain or snow, sleet or hail, dogs and cats falling out of the sky and dinosaurs munching on our car tires, we should still go.

Is it obvious yet that I love the snow? Snow is useful in so many ways. You can eat it, roll in it, slide down it, pelt your Pastor with snowballs (he likes it, honest), make a snowman, snow angel, go skiing, go snowboarding, and just be crazy with it. It is meant for us as a gift, the way I see it.

So stop WHINING AND GRUMBLING and being the little non-hackers that dislike God's wonderful creation. He might just make it snow a few more feet because you keep complaining.

Live long, and prosper.
