We got about 8 inches at my house last night. I woke up early to clear the drive and shovel the walk and make sure the plow guy came to clear the neighborhood streets (oh, the joys of being HOA president). The streets were sloppy and hard to drive this morning. I actually got stuck trying to leave the gas station where I get my morning Diet Coke fix.
But, there's something magical about the snow. In a world where we're always running from meeting to meeting, event to event, always thinking about the next place we have to be, heavy snow seems to give people a respite- an excuse not to worry about getting somewhere. People who wouldn't think about missing a day of work otherwise throw up their hands as if there's no other option. Meetings that seemed important are suddenly pushed back, and we understand, more than most times, how the insignificant details of our life here on earth can easily overtake us.
So, enjoy today. If you live in Central Indiana, enjoy the snow. Go play like when you were a kid. Take time to take time. Look at the beauty of God's creation in awe of Him, and remember not to sweat the details. Maybe I'll see you on the sledding hill.
Peace.
