fore the second semester
the ground was covered for
a few days. This particular
student was so excited over
seeing the snow that he re-
minded me of a little child
looking for Santa and his rein
deer. Whether we are excited,
or take it for granted, when
we have snow we should think
of this mantle as the great
handwork of God and enjoy
it like the kids.
