A very Cold and Snowy Third Sunday after the Epiphany
"This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested for this his glory; and his disciples believed on him."
St. John 2:11

What a cold and snowy week we had. Sadly, all our church activities were cancelled this past week due to snow and ice on the roads as well as covering the parking area and side walks! But, Praise God, we are all safe, warm, and dry - patiently awaiting the warm temperatures coming our way soon!
I received several beautiful pictures:
Fr. Yossi sent this picture of his back yard!
The view from Diane's back window.
Benita sent this beautiful picture of their dogs enjoying their first snow fall in Tennessee.
This picture of the joys (not) of winter is from outside Lin's Apartment.

The view from outside Claudia's back window.
And Ruby, Lynn and Daryl's dog, had the best idea of all - a inside spot in the sunshine and a cozy pillow!
Looking forward to seeing everyone again this week!
