Weather Forecast: Blizzard, with a Chance of Sun
Don't be too surprised that I've gotten on here three days in a row. Since we're basically trapped in the house, what else am I supposed to do? :p
So far, we're up to about 2+ feet in the highest snow drifts... that's to Laura's waist! The storm sort of came out of nowhere for us (or me at least). It's so bad, yesterday the van got stuck... All good now, but still.
And then this morning I wake up and the sun is shining! And it's not even snowing anymore! Usually I would be all for the sun (I HATE the cold), but I've never been snowed in before (almost, but not quite) and science fair is this weekend... enough said.
A bit of happy news to everyone else stuck in the snow, though: Happy Groundhog Day! The groundhog saw his shadow!!..... Now we can all relax and start our spring cleaning..... :/

The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock
D&C 50:44. "Wherefore, I am in your midst, and I am the good shepherd, and the stone of Israel. He that buildeth upon this rock shall never fall."
I love this verse. I was reading D&C today and this just popped out at me. It's such a good reminder. That He's always there with you, always taking care of you, never going to be moved, like a giant boulder.
I also love the reminder at the end. Since we hear the analogy about "building our rock on the Redeemer" all the time, I think we sometimes overlook the deeper meaning of it. Verse 44 doesn't say "He that loungeth upon this rock", or "He that vacationeth upon this rock." Building means establishing, increasing, strengthening. We have to work towards something. There's plenty of people who make it to the rock and then just dawdle around.
The primary song doesn't tell us that the winds and the rain only attack the house built on the sand. They beat against us no matter where we are. But we still have to work. Keep trying, and don't give up. That's how we stand without falling. It's not being on the rock, it's building on the rock.
