and the snow!

i heard a girl once describe how her fiance proposed:

"and when i said yes, it began to snow and i knew that God was happy and approved," she said.

i think about this story occasionally and i wonder if the snow was actually a sign of disapproval--because snow is pretty cold and can make you pretty sick and miserable, especially on your way to school.

it can also be pretty heartbreaking in the spring. or pretty annoying when you're driving.

and it's pretty messy when it turns to slush.

or completely destructive when it turns to ice and hits you in the face.


i don't know how that marriage worked out, but i wouldn't be surprised if they were divorced by now.
