Stopping in Advent

A moment of quiet on this otherwise busy campus - when we had to cancel church services yesterday, Dec. 20, the fourth Sunday of Advent. The snow came through the night and we were covered - the Falmouth police urged folks not to drive on Sunday and when we realized it was as serious as it was, we decided not to hold services. My first snow day from church! It was kind of odd - I love the fourth Sunday of Advent and the week feels strange in a way, now but I know the next few days will be filled to the brim. Meanwhile, the quiet and the beauty that surround us are wonderful. In the photo my two terries, Lulu and Ruby, are wondering if they can get through the deep snow and get to the tree (they couldn't) but today is there is already a path made by someone else anxious to get there. Slowly our world will come back to normal but for a day we all stopped. Isn't that what Advent is all about anyway?
