Snowpocalypse

So it's supposed to snow here in the Washington Metro area. And a lot of snow. Another 2 footer.

I love snow. Sitting by the fire, with hot chocolate, and the one you love, watching snow fall is a great time to be had. Really, it's movie-esque. A great way to spend a Saturday or a Sunday. Just curl up in a blanket with a hot drink and watch movies or tv all day. Maybe spend some time reading while listening to records. A great time.

But this is too much. I like it when it's an inch or 2 of snow. Just powder falling from heaven to make our landscape a gorgeous white. God's little gift to us, a beautiful view that we don't get everyday. It makes the cold of winter easier to deal with. But 2 feet?

Seriously, 2 feet again? We had this right before Christmas. 2 feet of snow never happens in this area and we're getting it twice this winter season. I will enjoy watching the snow fall. But being snowed in again might be a little more then I can take. No pretty girl to keep me warm. This has got to end. All the nasty salt the will littler the earth and the piles and piles of disgusting gray snow that will be left in the 2 foot wake?

WHY GOD WHY!

Snow is Coming!

Dear Academy Awards...

Doh!

Car said something the other day that isn't really profound, but it's such a Home Simpson Doh moment, because we all come to this place (over and over again). Car said this:

"I guess my plan was not Gods plan."

It feels dumb to have to acknowledge but I've had to say this a lot. I've had to say this recently. I feel like this statement always comes when I think I am doing what God wants, but in actuality I'm just doing what I want or what I want God to want for me. Mark Batterson tweeted this the yesterday;

"Is your vision your agenda 4 God? Or is your vision His agenda 4 you? "

I've said it to people recently, that I'm not sure what God's calling on my life is. And I'm alright with that, I'd just like to knowing his calling on me right now. Right? But I don't even have that. But I'm spending time in prayer trying to figure this next step out. Whatever it may be.

And this one

I am willing to ruin my music credibility. I love this song!

The Bible Tells Me So

So... the bible is fascinating. And I'm slowly coming to an appreciation of the Old Testament. There are things that I still don't get it's usefulness to me and admitting this would get me flogged in certain circles but it's true. But as I go through it, there are things I love.

I'm currently reading Song of Songs. It's love poetry. It's awesome. There was a moment when someone said this was a book you should read when you're married and not before. WHAT! I've never read it until now. I'm a big fan of poetry and I'm really digging Song of Songs. Why would you say this shouldn't be read until marriage? There's a youth leader somewhere that should be backhanded.

I'm also reading Kings. Kings... is mostly boring. The lineage stuff isn't as exciting or seemingly helpful to my life as other books of the bible. But there are single verses in there that jump off the page to me because they are verses that aren't really ever talked about and some of them change other stories and verse I've heard before and make me rethink things I've been taught and learned my entire life.

Anyway, the bible is super interesting and I enjoying discovering things.
