So night before last, when Brianna and I were sitting in the hot tub, she said "You know, when I first got in, the heat was overwhelming, but now it feels just right." I thought, "Wow, I wish I could get past the point where life feels overwhelming that quickly." So that is why yesterday morning at 5:00, Paul and I probably woke the neighborhood with our shouts of "Thank you, Jesus!" when we learned that his office would be closed for the day. It closes whenever Dallas ISD or Garland ISD closes, and yesterday was a snow day, well--not a snow day, maybe an ice day, ---well, maybe a we-just-don't-think-it's-supposed-to-be-this-cold-here day. We were enormously grateful and had a lovely restful catch-up day.
