It is interesting that I am reading the parable of lighting the lamp and then hiding it under a bushel; on the day dad is going to the doctor to get his eyes examined for his drivers license.
"Your eye is the lamp of your body.
If your eyes are good your whole body is full of light.
See to it that the light within you is not darkness."
Let your light shine is a good reminder for me.
Later a blind man sitting on the side of the road cries out to Jesus for mercy and even though he is blind identifies him as the Son of David, a Messianic title. Have the disciples been blind to who Jesus is even though they are following him.
Discipleship means coming to see who Jesus is and learning how to follow him even into places of suffering.
Later Jesus laughs as he looks up into a tree and sees a little man sitting on a limb. Yes, it is the chief tax collector. Jesus says I am coming to your house today and Zacchaeus responds joyfully ommitting his sins by wanting to give half of his money back to the poor.
"Do not take everything you see, hear or touch for granted
but be willing to look more closely/" Demi Lovato

Glad Dad passed his eye exam!
Likely see you Saturday afternoon after I see Leah and the baby and get Crystal (Leah's cousin) to sign some human rights papers.
More snow here, but not in the Vancouver area, I gather.
Love,

The mountain roads look very bad for driving Rick. I will try and pop by and maybe see you when you are at mom and dads.
Randy joked this morning when he got up how strange it was to not have fresh snow over night. I am hoping it is something we can get use to.
Sandra
