Ice Storm '08 (TM)

The Thursday before classes let out for Christmas, Fort Wayne had a terrible ice storm. The citizens of the Fort did not, however, react with the same terror and dread that the good folks of Austin did in '07.

Sorry for the delay.

Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

"Thus, faith teaches us to despair of ourselves and to choose something outside of ourselves as the foundation that will make a new life possible. Luther calls it: extra nos, that is, in Christo (outside us, i.e., in Christ). Whereas morality seeks willingly to put new patches on the old clothes, grace means eternally much more. It means that God intends that we be clothed anew, wholly and completely, with the clothing of a better righteousness woven from God's hands which we have in Jesus Christ."

-Hans Iwand (The Righteousness of Faith According to Luther)

Fort Rain Windy-ana.

Yesterday it was 75`, and today it feels like 30` with the wind-chill factor.

It looks like it will be in the 70s the whole time I am in Austin.

Can someone explain this to me?

Dread what is to come...

Greatest way to waste time:
