Over 25 states in the US had either a winter snow advisory or a thunder storm advisory this past weekend into Monday night. Record breaking temperatures and snow were encountered in many parts of the West Coast.
Reno got it’s share of snow Sunday evening into Monday night. The elegance of snow is beyond words but the aftermath is a venture, especially for a small city like Reno quite unprepared for the snow.
Reno in the snow is venturesome for many reasons:
1) There is no precautionary measures taken like usage of salt.
2) There is not enough equipment and man-power to plow the snow off the road.
3) The hilly landscape of Reno results in wide variations in snow accumulations.
4) The drivers in Reno are a bit inexperienced driving in the snow.
Our area received approximately 10 inches of snow. We are thankful for our 4 wheel drive, and our handy shovel we purchased last summer.

From my heart to yours
Grace Church was an incredible experience today. Christmas carols like Hark the herald, O Come let us adore Him, We three kings, filled the air and the sweet aroma touched the hearts of many. The performance of the Christmas choir was superb. One loud unified voice is all I heard from beginning to end. I felt a true experience of joy. Overall, it was a great rendition of the season. Wishing “Merry Christmas” to others on the first week of December was absurd at first but sure felt “right”.
The songs, the message, and the fellowship reminded us the true meaning of the season. The birth of the Savior was a day long awaited even from the pages of Genesis. A fulfilled promise which arrived years later, the greatest of all impossibilities, yet a divine plan so well executed beyond human understanding.
Today, as I am watching the first snow fall of the season in Reno, I am wishing a “Merry Christmas” from my heart to yours.
God Bless!

Last month of a glorious year
Today is December 1st, the first day of the last month in 2009. There is a popular saying, "Time flies when you are having fun" and 2009 was a year of fun, excitement, and adventure in my life. A year ago, I would have said that 2009 will be the slowest moving year for us, a notorious 12 month away from our family and our hometown. I was totally wrong in my assumptions. As I look back at the year 2009, I want to capture each moment back, relive each second, and freeze every venture.
With only so many days left this year, before I embark on the year 2010, a year of new challenges and adventures, I am simply thankful to God for His provisions, for His miracles, and for His love. Great is thy faithfulness - and without Him, I would have been an empty vessel.
I am definitely sad to say good bye to the year 2009. We take in our hearts numerous memories to remember for a life time and some great moments to chuckle over during the rainy days. Welcome to 2010, a year of new discoveries.
