Sunday Reflection: First Snow
Last night we had our first real snow here in Minnesota. I watched Michigan win the Big 10 championship and looked out at the back yard a lot to see the soft snow landing on the old wooden table, the mismatched chairs, the grill. It's what we expect to see this time of year; it's not quite right to go into december without snow.
Of course, this was not a part of the Advent story; Jesus's Eastern Mediterranean world was one where snow was mostly limited to the mountains of Lebanon.
But the quiet of Advent fits this spot, this mood... and I am glad to see this snow. I did get to do some reflection this week, about Rev. Bailey-- you can read that reflection in today's Waco paper here.
