Ballet, the Symphony, Choral music and bells a jingling.
Sometimes life and biz changes quickly. Faster than the seasons. The way we approach these changes can show our faith and character. Holidays can sseem to add to voltality. It’s best to make sure you have some r’n'r time to help ease the strain.
Santa Fe was getting snow on and off throughout today. The mountain has already received 26″ of new snow and expects to be open the ski slopes on Friday. I was going into a shopping center in a good part of town. Two robust tall elegantly dressed women were complaining about the much needed snow. “Who got all this snow?” the first demanded. “God”, I said, as I passed by. “Oh yes” they chorused. “Amen.” There was a moment of silence, and then I heard, “OK God, stop this mess, now.” Within a few minutes the snow stopped. I hope they noticed. As I left the mall awhile later, I said, “Ok God, its all right to snow again,” and within 5 minutes we got a lot of heavier snow. This is a true story, thank you God.
Let’s see if I call scounge up some holiday events.
