2/10/2010 - The Best Snow Day of My Life Thus Far


Today a the East Coast received an inordinate and unheard of amount of snow - 15 inches or more! And this was on top of the previous snow left over from last Fri-Sat. It is up to my knees! =) The Philadelphia region was no exception. It was snowing so hard that we all donned goggles! I spent the day outside making a mountain-like pyramid of ginormous snowballs with Abby, Caroline, Hannah, and our neighbor, Chantal. It currently stands about 10ft high, and we plan on adding width and height tomorrow! It is pretty beast, I have to say. I'll post pictures tomorrow of our masterpiece. I didn't want to run the risk of getting my camera wet, as it was snowing incessantly today and there was no break until now. The snow is absolutely perfect for making snowballs and other frozen engineering feats because its easily packable and stays together really well.
However, despite the fun of today, the snow may prevent my plane from taking off tomorrow night. I'm hoping that I'll still be leaving as scheduled, but if not, I trust that God has a better plan for my day. As of right now, all flights from the Philadelphia International Airport have been cancelled until 2PM tomorrow afternoon, so I should be in good shape!


Still Packing =)

I woke up this morning to a phone call from a friend in Israel. I was able to share about what I plan on doing, etc, and then we got to talking about the weather. He said one day this week, it was 32F and the next day, it was 72F! OY VEY!

Matthew 9:35-38

35Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like a sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to his disciples, "The harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
