In reply to Helen in Switzerland. Being snowed in with just yourself, a calm loved one, and a project or book to attend to sounds divine, Helen. Being snowed in with young people who could use attitude adjustments sounds like a challenge. I'm glad you made it home safely...send some snow our way!

It sounds like you’re having a wonderful weekend Julie! I just came home from the mountains – not wanting to be snowed in again we made a run for it before the snowstorms started. It feels good to be home!

My weekend… It has been Sat. since Tuesday! Walking my daddy home to be with the Lord… I have dreaded this time for so many years. He died the 15th and the things that have to be taken care of! The nicest thing parents can do for their kids is to pre-plan their own funerals! It made it so easy… well easier, at least… The things I walked away with were that God’s Grace is truly sufficient… When I felt like all of my seams were going to unravel at once, He was there to undergird me… when the sorrow scooped out my guts and left me hollow, He filled me up… I knew dear ones were praying… and the deepest revelation came that he was really no longer there…I have said it, I know it, yada yada, but when I touched his body for the very last time, it hit me in a deep place where God births that kind of revelation… it was truly a shell… left behind and no longer housing the Life God had breathed into him. It gave me the strength not to throw myself on his casket at the cemetery and refuse to let them bury him. I am at peace and for that I am so grateful…
