Yello all. Yes, snowing again. This time it snowed so bad that the schools were closed and I have had a snow day at home too. Bad, of course, is a relative term. Up North, with 5 inches of snow, they break out the shovels and get on with it. Here, they close the schools, panic, drive like arabs and generally lose it bigtime! All of which means that your blogger gets a day off work.
It is truly beautiful though. Snow falls completely quietly and you don't know its happening until you look outside and see big flakes drifting serenely down to blanket everything with a layer of magical icing that obscures everything ugly and seems to highlight everything beautiful. I thing God sends it to bless those of us who appreciate it.
Te kids have become somewhat blase about it - 3 snowfalls since we arrived and its old hat to them.
I am now in my 3rd week of working for the local authority and its like going back in time. Archaic systems and attitudes and I don't know how long I'm going to be able to handle this. I'm praying that something better comes along soon! Its like working for the council in Bapsfontein 20 years ago.
Janene has been for an interview at the Post Office. Yes, I know we're sounding like Vereniging dutchmen now. Its a job but again, not what J wants or is experienced in. Please pray that the Lord provides something in the drawing field that she can do from home. She is following something up and we're praying God brings it to pass.
The kids are doing well at school and the school has been very complimentary about them. I suppose it reflects well on our parenting skills, says he with much humility.
Church...well, still hoping to find the right one but going along to the best of the bunch that we've been able to find thus far. This remains a challenge.
The mothers had a good time here over Christmas but J's mom nearly froze to death and was glad to escape the clutches of a Northern Hemisphere winter.
All for now, so have fun and remember: Eagles may soar but slugs don't get sucked into jet engines!
