I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Wowzers...

I think I'm having blog A.D.D.
I can't seem to find a background that I really like.
Maybe I shouldn't have one.
Hmmm.
You'll have to be patient for a while.
Maybe it's because I'm not really in the Christmas spirit.
I know.
It's so SCROOGE of me.

It snowed all day today,
and...
I think it's still snowing.

Did I ever mention that I hate snow?

On the other hand, I love my baby's giggle.
It makes me smile.

I think snow would be fun for a little while, but I think I just might cry if I had to live in it. I can't wait for you guy's to get here.

I wish it would snow here too! However, after it came for a while I'd want it to go away, I'm sure. Try to enjoy the good things about it and buy lots of hot cocoa and marshmallows!
