Beware the Ides of March

I know some of the most "intresting" winter weather the DC area gets is in March. I've lived in this area for most of my life. You would think I'd be used to it, but it catches me by surprise every time. This 'storm' reminded me of what we went through with my 1st son. A week before he was born my beloved went into false labor. We made the thirty plus mile trip to the hospital (it's where her doctors where) and the weather channel was calling for 1-3 inches of snow. As the night went on it became 2-4 inches, then 3-6. By the time her doctor was able to get to the hospital it was up to 5-8 inches. When the doc finally realized that this was not the boys time he was going to send us home! I told him that he better be sure because it no longer looked like I was going to be able to just turn around and come back - the prediction was then up to 12-18 inches of snow - all of this within 18 hours. When all was said and done it dumped over two feet of snow and I was digging out our parking space and walkway from our apartment every six hours. All went well though. I'm sorry I don't have anything more. I had something better to write about, but I never wrote it down... and now I can't remember it. May the lord richly bless each of you with a joy and peace filled weekend. Verse for today: John 14:27, ESV Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
