Two days ago my “monster” cactus bloomed outside. It has tentacles that are four or five feet hanging over the side of the pot. We bought it with several two buds on it and with two flowers. We knew it liked the spot we put it in outside for the two buds did not dry up. When it flowered, again, the entire width of the unfurled pink petals was five inches. Inside, one single white flower protruded–God’s handiwork! I never saw such a gigantic pink flower on a cactus.

There is something peaceful about a snowstorm. Everything is white–the trees the roads-everything. I know I am not going anywhere. There is nothing I need except my electricity. Even if that went out I would simply bring out my candles.
At this point I do not know how long it will snow. The flakes are tiny so I know the snowfall will be appreciable. I will just wait it out and enjoy it. Perhaps take a walk in it and glory in God’s handiwork. Or just look out my windows. And enjoy my wife’s company.
