Is It Still January?

This might be the longest month in history. It has been cold, cold, cold in North Carolina. I know it’s been cold everywhere, but I am here. We got snow yesterday and even though it did not get anywhere close to above freezing today it mainly melted except in the shady spaces on the north sides. That means right in front of our driveway and all along our whole driveway is still snow covered and will be until spring actually comes.

I feel like there have been ten days since the inauguration. I am still not watching the news and trying not to read any national news, but could not miss the fabulous Bishop Budde prayer service sermon. I must have watched it two dozen times. What a powerhouse inside that tiny quiet woman!

My favorite part is watching 47 sit slumped in his seat looking like he is doing his business. The man can no longer stand or sit up straight. He looked the same way at Carter’s funeral. Someone needs to make him a back brace. But I guess that only works if you have a working spine.

I really wonder what the immigrant and first generation wives thought of Bishop Budde’s take on how immigrants should be treated. Do their husbands not see who they are married too?

I am now praying that the next four years do not move this slowly. I am doing my best to be so busy that I can keep my mind off what I can not handle or change.
