Ahhh, it's winter in south Louisiana. The bitter humid cold comes in for a day or a week at a time. We will be at 25°f tonight and with that Eli (like all kids down here) has started the prayers for snow.
While getting ready this morning his excitement continued to build and so did his vision of the coming wintery wonderland. Our first order of business will be building a snow fort that will protect us from the other kid's snowballs. Then we will have to make snowballs. He will show me how it's done and then I can take over while he builds some booby traps that will dump snow on unsuspecting kids and passers-by. He has come up with a genius plan to lure the prey to us...Eli's plan is to make a talking snowman that looks like Olaf from the movie Frozen. He said," Dad, it's so easy...all we need is some red, black and blue wire." I had a hard time getting a word in while details of what needed to happen to create a living snowman came one after another...and then everything got quite for what seemed like 5 seconds and then came the question in song..." Do you want to build a snowman?" How could I resist, especially now that the song is stuck in my head!
Please join me in praying that we will have a huge dumping of snow! (I don't even know if we have a chance for snow...but according to Eli, we do... And faith moves mountains or in this case, the snow from the mountains!)
