This is it.


FAITHFUL.
This was the first white Christmas in the Triangle area of North Carolina since 1947.
Snow blankets and simplifies.
It changes what we see.
It changes what we do and how we do it.
In this area, a moderate amount has impact.
On Christmas day, it fosters peace.
Most likely there was no snow on that first Christmas,
but from the scriptures it seems that those whole dwelt under the blanket of night
possessed awareness that the world was about to change.
For Christmas this year I received a blanket. I am home.
