On my way to a chuch meeting, I snapped this picture of a dry, winter, state capitol building. It didn't break 30 all day today, which is bitter. It does, however, make the air seem clearer and more picturesque. I suppose it's just proof that there is beauty in all things.
My childhood friend Stephen and his wife Crystal had their second kid, a little boy named Ivan Victor. It's weird to see such precious life being given to beautiful babies. My co-worker had her little Kiara on New Years Day. I'm envious of these gifts, yet I'm still grateful for the gifts and joys I'm still able to celebrate in my own life.
