Went to bed to rain, woke up to snow. It's not a big blanket, certainly not enough for a snegovek (snowman),  but the ground is white and it's new. So in the words of my baby brother: "I woke up and found that it snew!"

By now everyone's probably seen the church sign.

While I'm not sure about using a church marquee to ask people to stop praying, I'm right there with the sentiment.

Our second Angel Food distribution was successful (sorry no video this month). Here are the highlights:

• Twice as many orders.
• Cold weather.
• Notification that our delivery would be an hour later.
• The truck was late (so the delivery was actually two hours later).
• Snow (about one inch) on the ground when we started.
• Cold. Icy cold.
• Light mist falling while we were picking up our food.
• People waiting about an hour and one-half for us to get the food from Vandalia to our church and getting it sorted and ready for distribution. Everyone was nice and friendly about it.
• "Winter mix" taking over during the distribution itself.
• Cold. It was very cold.
• All food delivered without a hitch.
• And did I mention that it was cold?

On a side note, because the delivery was later, I had a chance to get out in the snow with my family (pictures to follow--after they come in, so don't look tomorrow). My blushing bride took up an entire roll of film of the progeny making snow angels, tossing snowballs, and just generally having fun in the inch of white stuff that covered the ground when we woke up this morning. The baby loved tromping around in the snow. Since we're supposed to get lots more before it stops in the middle of the night, we may be able to get a snow buddy out of it before we're through.

It's beginning to look a lot like . . .

Today is a day of miracles. Easter is the day we celebrate the greatest of all miracles.

Hallelujah! Christ is Risen!
