Christmas was a cold one this year. I had a little reminder this morning after spending two solid hours digging out of yet another winter storm. This has been a hard winter, and Christmas day in Ottawa, Ontario was around -30C. My prayers are with all those today that are being affected by extreme temperatures and winter storms that aren’t quite as well prepared for it as we are here in Canada. And just think: I was born in the state of California and raised in the desert of Arizona. How things have changed!
