MONTANA WEATHER
Last Tuesday,
I woke up to TONS of really incredible heavy sticky snow.
The kind that lasts only a day, and is I-D-E-A-L for playing in.
Argh.  Have to go to work.  What to do?  What to do?

There's always lunch break.

I borrowed some kids to come have a snowball fight with me.
 We played so hard I almost passed out.
That's pathetic.

The next day, we had another earthquake, 3.something.  Small this time, but I went running.  I don't know where I was going, but I forgot to grab my purse.

And the day after that, the snow was all gone.
Beautiful sunshine, green grass, birds singing.  No more tremors.

Holding hands with my 2nd favorite Aunt.

Getting ready for our big bro's birthday party.

How many malted chocolate eggs can he fit in his mouth?
Eight.

Sweet glasses dude.

Bend in the Road

This is a poem that was read in church recently.

It helped me, so I thought I'd pass it along.

BEND IN THE ROAD

When we feel we have nothing left to give

and we are sure that the song has ended.

When our day seems over

and the shadows fall

and the darkness of night has descended.

Where can we go to find the strength

to valiantly keep on trying

Where can we find the hand that will dry

the tears that the heart is crying.

There's but one place to go

and that is to God

and dropping all pretense and pride.

We can pour out our problems

without restraint

and gain strength with Him at our side.

And together we stand at life's crossroads

and view what we think is the end.

But God has a much bigger vision

and He tells us it's only a bend.

For the road goes on and is smoother

and the pause in the song is a rest.

And the part that's unsung and unfinished

is the sweetest and richest and best

So rest and relax and grow stronger

let go and let God share your load.

Your work is not finished or ended

you've just come to a bend in the road.

Take the best that exists and make it better.
