I am happy it?s cold. I?m happy I?ve gotten to...

I am happy it?s cold. I?m happy I?ve gotten to play in the snow with my niece, bundle up in infinity scarves, wear my favorite boots, drink hot tea and coffee mid-day, enjoy a book by the fire, catch up on all the movies I missed while being outside all summer, take more naps under warm blankets, find more excuses to stay inside and finish paintings.

But, I miss this. I really love the beach more than most things, and my latria for it only increases during the winter. I?ll peak in mid-january and start daydreaming about sunset hikes, night drives with the windows down, moon swims at the lake, and of course, the sound of these waves as I look out at what appears infinite.

Sitting in the sand at sunset in early August is another way I know the Lord loves me. We?ll have more great talks here.
