Eight out of eight Confirmation students are hoping that it snows this weekend \u2013 a lot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope people are safe. I don\u2019t want trees to fall or people to slip and fall on the ice or cars to skid into others on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what I like about a snowstorm \u2013 a big<\/em> snowstorm \u2013 is the solidarity it brings. We\u2019re all talking about the weather now. It seems that we\u2019re all going to the grocery store to pick up bread, milk, and toilet paper that we don\u2019t really need. We\u2019re all checking our snow blowers and shovels and emergency candles. We\u2019re watching radar maps on our phones and checking out which stations seem to have the most up-to-date information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing we can do to make it happen. And there\u2019s nothing we can do to make it not happen. You and I will look outside sometime on Saturday and we will have 8 inches or 5 inches or 13 inches or none. That\u2019s kind of exciting, isn\u2019t it? All of us discovering together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the best science\u2026 Despite the most amazing technology\u2026God\u2019s world still has much for us to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the discovery this weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Christ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
