Well friends, it's officially winter.  Ginourmous snowflakes have been falling since this morning--like little minature bunnies floating down from the sky.    The snowflakes fall so slowly and are so big, you can track individual ones and everything looks like the that scene in the matrix where the water droplets slow and you can see the dimensions between them.  In this beginning, there's still a sense of wonder.  I'd like to think that this is what the Israelites felt seeing mana falling from the sky. . .  People grinning dumbly at each other in the streets, sharing a private joke and laughing at the indignant pidgeons huddling together. 

Life is beautiful and God is so good. 

Visit me when I come back to Austin next weekend?  

I understand getting into shower time crunches with my roommates.  I mean, there are four of us and just one bathroom.  But it's just sad all around when it happens with Chi-yan. 

...I mean, I take showers before I sleep and she takes them when she wakes up.
