We enjoyed our annual Super Bowl party with our youth group on Sunday.  We were not real sure if we would make it to the Lewis’ house because of the snow but thankfully we did.  The commercials always seem to be a bigger hit than the actual game but I am pretty sure everyone had […]

I realize this is not “big news” for those of you living up north but the winter storm that blew through the Ozarks yesterday dropped at least a foot of snow.  I was walking in drifts that came up to my knees.  I have to admit I am a bit sore after all the shoveling […]
