snow and ice.

(Meant to post this last week when there was still actually snow and ice outside my window, but alas, time and sunshine and laziness has led to another belated post.)

As I walked through the snow--a real rarity in Dallas--one night last week, I remember stepping onto the sidewalk and almost slipping on a frozen puddle of ice that was hard to see in the dark. It made me think of how, even in the midst of God's beautiful winter wonderland creations, the enemy tries to trick us and make us stumble in a tricky, inconspicuous manner, like the almost-unseen ice on the ground. But God is light, and He shines His light into the darkness that we can see and avoid those schemes.
