There have been at least traces of snow in the forecast for over a week now. The ten day forecast promises more of the same. Sunday afternoon while I was in LA, one of our church friends came out to the house to hang out with Belinda and the kids and got her 2WD Explorer stuck in our driveway, eventually sliding into the yard. As the snow has accumulated and the days have passed, her ride was still in the yard as of last night.
When we got home from our small group, Belinda and I put the kids to bed and headed outside in the 15 degree weather and tried to get the Explorer out. I bought a tow rope in town and tried to tow her ride out with my Grand Cherokee. Well my neighbors saw us and three guys from the neighborhood came out and helped us. After 15 minutes of pulling, pushing, and creative engineering, we got the Explorer out, and got it down to the end of our road. Then we proceeded to get another car (rear wheel in the air) out of the ditch above my house.
We had a GREAT TIME! Lots of male testosterone being exercised. After we rescued the vehicles, my neighbor Jeremiah gave me a tour of his house which he has been working on. Then we sledded and snowboarded in his front yard and Belinda had everyone over for coffee, hot chocolate, and cherry turnovers.
Jeremiah is a fellow believer and a lover of Jesus. We are looking forward to working together and sharing the love of Christ with our neighbors, being salt and light. Tonight was a great start.

Bro! You're setting the pace! BTW, the word "organic" makes me hungry. What about you?
