Snow, Snow, Snow

Back from a few days in Branson. Nate's show choir (The Amazing Technicolor Show Choir or ATSC) won the Grand Championship at the FAME Competion at the Tri-Lakes Convention Center in Branson. They also won:
1. Best Band
2. Best Male Vocalist
3. Best Male Presence
4. Best Diction
5. Best Chorals
6. Most Original Song
7. Best Looking Kid named Nate

(I threw that last one in there because it was my award!!). We were proud!

Came home to Nebraska to a coating of snow. Looks like about 4 or 5 inches right now, expecting another 8-14 today. It reminded me of this passage from Job 37 taken from The Message.

Have you ever traveled to where snow is made,
seen the vault where hail is stockpiled,
The arsenals of hail and snow that I keep in readiness
for times of trouble and battle and war?
Can you find your way to where lightning is launched,
or to the place from which the wind blows?
Who do you suppose carves canyons
for the downpours of rain, and charts
the route of thunderstorms
That bring water to unvisited fields,
deserts no one ever lays eyes on,
Drenching the useless wastelands
so they're carpeted with wildflowers and grass?
And who do you think is the father of rain and dew,
the mother of ice and frost?
You don't for a minute imagine
these marvels of weather just happen, do you?

No, these don't just happen. And God takes this wonderful moisture and makes springtime. I can't wait. Have a great day. JW

P.S. Going to Tulsa Wednesday. Will I see you there?
