Our high temp is supposed to get close to 60 today. (good thing, baby is coming home) Maybe this will take care of the rest of the snow.
Congratulations Phoebe!

An atheist was walking through the woods.
"What majestic trees!" "What powerful rivers!" "What beautiful animals!" He said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again. The bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the atheist cried out, "Oh my God!!!"
Time Stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, an enormous voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?" The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian?" "Very Well," said the voice.
The light went out.
The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke: "Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."

Our son called us yesterday....(the one stationed in Afghanistan), and he is having us make arrangements for the wedding, a place he and his fiancee have picked out since they were first engaged. It makes it feel a little closer! He gets out of Afghanistan the first of April, and then to Hawaii for a couple of months, and then he's out of the Army.

That is wonderful. I know you will be greatly relieved when his tour of duty is all over and he is back home safe.
I listened a little to the radio the other day, about some doctor who was in Afghanistan and was the director of all the hostpitals over there. Pretty amazing story he gave about the service of our young men and women serving over there, and quite different about how we are accepted and thanked by the natives, versus the stories we get from our own news.
