our days here in hamburg have gotten dark too. it really can be a gloomy time of year. but it’s not that bad–yet. :o) the warmer temps. during the day help.

btw, i just read through those verses in revelation before i looked at your site. a friend had asked about the new earth, so i had to flip to the end of revelation to refresh my memory.

Two weeks ago I spent most of a Saturday afternoon dodging snow bullets. Big, fat, wet flakes pummeled the Boston area for the better part of the day and into the evening. If it hadn’t been so wet, it would have qualified as “Charlie Brown snow” or, as Mels calls it, “engagement snow.”

During that same snow my in-laws were visiting and thought it was delightful, but it seemed dreary to me because it was so wet. I guess I’ve become a jaded New Englander after all.
