Well the weather outside was frightful

Well, it was.  Early Wednesday afternoon, the snow started coming down in what seemed like scheduled intervals, then steadily picked up into the mid-late afternoon.  Travel conditions got a bit treacherous, leaving Canterbury to figure out what we were going to do for that evening since our bible-study leader couldn't make it.  Luckily, Greg made it over and cooked us all a delicious batch of Gumbo (meat and veggie friendly options)!  After a bit of brainstorming, we decided to forgo studying the Bible and instead watch an hilarious Monty Python film: Life of Brian.

I'd never seen it, but HIGHLY recommend it to everyone.  It's a parody/satire on the life of Jesus and was apparently banned in many English cities and towns for years because it was deemed blasphemous.  You can find the IMDB summary-info here.  Check it out!  It made for the perfect snowy evening over at Canterbury House :).  Hopefully this next week won't bring snow again and we'll be able to get back into the swing of things; although, it was a lovely evening of fellowship, which everyone needs from time to time.  Nice change of pace from the usually fast-paced lives we live.  At least for me, that's one benefit of snow storms.  It's the one form of weather that, unless it's out of control, allows us to just slow down and actually live in the present, rather than always trying to outrun time.
