Amazing how a coat of white...

I am sitting today at Panera working on video for BVBC's Celebration Sunday. It amazes me how a coat of snow gives a different perspective on things. A week ago, with temperatures in the 60's and leaves still on the trees in my back yard, it felt like the middle of September. Today it truly looks and feels like December, with the Christmas decorations outside the window. I love snow, and so a day that was going to be buried in work is now just a bit brighter. Hope you all can enjoy it!

(P.S. I was very proud of the Delaware school system. Not one school was closed or called 2 hours late, just because of a few flurries!)

Friends refresh the soul

I am posting tonight from my friend Al's guest room. Al and I grew up in the same home town and lived together for four years in college. He, his wife and beautiful family now live in Nashville TN, along with some other friends from high school.

I am here because about the middle of October my wfe and I noticed that it might not be such a bad time for me to get out of town and clear my head for a couple days, just before the Christmas season gets into full swing. So Wednesday morning, I packed up the new van and drove down to Nashville.

I am amazed at how old friends from a different era of life can refresh the soul, and inspire great thoughts and desires. It was so good to see three different families, each doing so well, raising kids and making a difference in the lives of the people God put them in contact with. I came here to clear my head, but I am going home with a head and heart filled with the desire to love my family, do my best at work, and glorify God in all that I do. God is so good!

Will write more later, but I need to get to bed. Long drive back to Delaware tomorrow!
