Snow Schmow

Imagine living most of your adult life among beautiful palm trees, ocean breezes, and WARMTH!! Oh, that's right, most of you reading this still do live there:) Well, for those of us who gave up comfortable temperatures-we're freezing our cajones off!!! This is our second January residing between these 2 gorgeous mountain ranges, so beautiful they look like a fake set at Universal Studios. So, it's snowing AGAIN today and it's gorgeous and we're blessed. We're blessed because as the wind howled there were sturdy walls protecting us and God has been holding the Nelson family just like those walls held up against the wind-He has been protecting us from the elements. The element of being a Christian in an un-Christian world, the element of building a stronger family unit since there are times when all we have is each other, the element of provision in a home that meets our needs and cars that knock on wood still work even after batteries have frozen! Our God has brought on the snow, but with that he's given us the shelter to feel safe in it. To that we say snow, schmow-bring it on!
