No Escaping Winter


I returned home this morning at 4:00am and was met by the worst snow storm of the year. It took me over an hour to shovel the snow! The lesson for me is that one can't escape from reality: One must face it! Even if that reality comes with howling winds. Dealing with reality will bring benefits. I appreciated the opportunity to burn calories in the quiet darkness.

On the flight I read, "Befriending the Stanger", by Jean Vanier. The book created in me a peaceful state of mind as it demonstrated the infinite love that our humble God has for me and for you. No matter how difficult our reality may be, we are not alone, for He is with us: If only we call His name.
