Life certainly has a way of bringing twists and turns into your everyday activities. Things were going along quite well last week when Paul walked into the high school office of Lenawee Christian School and was informed that he had been "challenged". Apparently Donna Baker has challenged Paul to make a snow angel or pay money to the scholarship fund. However, it wasn't that easy. The snow angel was to be made in shorts, T-shirt and flip flops. The immediate reaction was that a person of Paul's age should not be flopping around in the snow with such light apparel. Just pay the money and eliminate the possibility of catching pneumonia was his conclusion.
When Paul got home, he told Gail about the challenge, she immediately responded, "You can do it." That was easy for her to say as she didn't have to get in the snow. After being challenged by both Donna and Gail, what was a man to do but go for it. So on Friday morning, Paul found a pair of shorts, grabbed a special T-shirt from his principal days,dug out a pair of flip flops, and equipped Gail with a camera. Before he made the plunge he challenged others to do the same. Then it was snow angel time. Once the snow angel was completed, it was off to a nice warm shower. Fortunately, as of this blog, there has been no adverse health issues from this dive into the cold.
However, Paul received a call from his brother, Vic, in Tennessee indicating what he saw on Facebook confirmed what he knew all along. It might have something to do with a frozen brain.
There are challenges in life (maybe not always snow angels), but through God we can do all things.
I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
Blessings and Encouragement,
Paul, Gail, Patsy and Penny
