We woke up this morning to discover a dusting of snow on the ground... definitely not the massive amount of snow we were supposed to get overnight. We thought the storm had just missed us, but we checked online to see about Ethan's school just in case. It's an official Snow Day!
We couldn't understand why until we started watching the news. We are supposed to get 10-13 inches of snow today starting...now! It's coming down pretty good with no sign of stopping until this evening.
I'm curious...what's your favorite memory from an official Snow Day when you were a kid?

In Acts 17 the Apostle Paul is in Athens at a meeting place called the Areopagus - the gathering place for all those interested in "talking about and listening to the latest ideas." I have mused for some time that coffeehouses are the new Areopagus. The coffeehouse environment seems to encourage people to be more open with their hearts and their thoughts. This blog is an attempt to capture that environment to share my reflections on faith, family, life, and leadership. ::Chris Genders::

About Me
- Chris Genders
- I am a staff member at Great Oaks Community Church in Germantown Hills, IL. An avid student of leadership and organizational development, I have just recently joined the staff of GOCC to lead and develop their adult small group program. I will also have the opportunity to serve as one of the teaching pastors during the weekend services. I have earned a B.S. in Business from Eastern Illinois University in 1996 and an M.A. in Leadership from Lincoln Christian Seminary in 2004. My wife, Karen, and I have been married for 12 years. We have two children, Ethan and Morgan. In addition to reading and spending time with my family, I enjoy backpacking, camping, whitewater rafting, and many other outdoor activities. My favorite activity at this time is taking my kids for nature walks whenever possible.

My favorite memory of an official snow day...hmm...what's a snow day? Oh wait!! Perhaps it's like those days when it's like 120 degrees out here in the valley and I can't get to the beach where it would be slightly cooler at 105? LOL
