This takes the cake. Now after taking the full force of a hurricane, we got a few hours worth of snow. Yes, you read right; snow. I've heard Houston was a little weird, but meteorologically? But I hear every time this city gets wacky weather in the summer, it gets wacky weather in the winter, aka: snow. It also seems it is staying colder longer and earlier this year. You know, this hurricane might have been a pain in the rear, but I think I can see some good in it, that is if you like cold weather. I'm the kind of guy that doesn't mind going out in a shirt and a pair of shorts on a day when the temp is in the 50's. I can't remember whether it was tonight or last night, that peace I felt with that cold air, and that full moon. I wonder if that was what it was like for the town of Bethlehem as they awaited the birth of Jesus, all those years ago.
My Venture crew's having their annual Christmas party tomorrow evening (take that, economy!) so I'm hyped about that, and our family are having our 8th annual giftathon that started about about a week ago. How you do it is by writing the names down of each of the family members, and putting the pieces of paper into a hat (in this case, my good Sooners cap) and drawing a name. This year, instead of guessing or trying to trick somebody into revealing what they wanted (my personal favorite) we all wrote lists of what we wanted and put them on the refridgerator door. With less than two weeks to go before Christmas, I have a hefty shopping list in front of me for the person I have. Many of you out there have lots of folks to buy for, but, slow it down, and remember, Jesus was born on Christmas day, and that He is the true reason for the season! The presents are nice, but they are just symbols of what God gave us. A gift far past the value of all gifts; His Son.
