Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Walking, Driving, Slipping, Plowing In A Winter Wonderland. Well, winter continues to make up for lost time. We got somewhere between 6 and 8 inches of snow since yesterday. The main roads were plowed by this morning, and the freeway was fine, just very wet, but the drive in was much better than I thought. The side streets were still full of snow though, so getting around was a bit dicey. The front wheel drive helped, but I miss my 4 wheel drive. And, cold weather is headed our way again. This weekend could bring the coldest temps yet. And looking ahead, it means the church will be freezing. That building just doesn't get very warm, and when the front door is open, all that cold air goes straight in. Playing in the orchestra up there gets to be quite chilly, especially since we sit by a side exit and it is rather drafty. Oh well.

When I dropped John off this morning at Sue's, he said what sounded like "I like ducks", and then he said "noise". Who knows what he was thinking about.
