it begins

It is snowing...well, it is just beginning to. There are scattered flakes falling. The weather report suggests that we will see a few inches overnight. O, how I love the snow. It has always served to calm me. It is gentle and quiet and somehow warm in spite of the meteorological reality. A "blanket of newfallen snow" is apt somehow.

The service at the cathedral was wonderful. To witness all those priests gathered around the ordinands was powerful. There was much grace. The sermon was grand. The weather friendly. The music splendid.

I look forward to hearing from Susie, Todd and The Sac!

So, snow falls on the streets of Chicago. Grace decends, changing what we see, transforming our world, comforting it with God's love. Peace and grace be to the hands of all God's servants this day and all days.

Amen.
