The Holy Trinity

It's supposed to snow tomorrow. I don't really believe it, because if you know anything about the local news in Charlotte, you know that they love nothing more than to REPORT HOW THE WEATHER IS GOING TO CAUSE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION TO YOUR FAMILY AND WREAK HAVOC ON YOUR LIFE IN UNSPEAKABLE WAYS. Seriously. It's ridiculous.

But Gibson has heard all the weather reports, and he knows that snow is a possibility. And he's dying for it. In fact, he said a little prayer in the backseat of the car today. It went like this: "Please, please, please let it snow tomorrow. (Raising eyes Heaven-ward) Santa, God, and Jesus? Come on! I know you can do it!"



(** Edited to add: Hey! Whadda ya know!? The kid gets a snow day. Who says prayers go unanswered? **)

Thank you Santa, Jesus, God, and Gibson for the snow prayer and answer.

Rachel, your voice is the writing
voice I recall in papers written
at LHS only now you have new material--your sons.

Santa is a neat addition to the lineup. As my church often notesmany prayers to God go unanswered. However,Santa almost always comes through. Gibson is one wise pray-er.
