Snow Crunchings and Soul Cravings

I woke up early this morning to arrive at Starbucks by 7am. I'm starting a men's group in CCF to explore the deepest longings we have as men. This is inspired by a book called Soul Cravings, by Erwin Raphael McManus. Intended for the seeker, his book looks at our search for destiny, intimacy, and meaning. These issues are also ever-present for Christian men. In my final months at CCF, I hope to meet other men and explore these deep issues with others, and in so doing, have a deeper understanding of who I am, why I'm here, and where I'm going.

On my way to the Starbucks, I was delighted by the sight of fresh snow. The snow crunching under my boots was a delightful sound. I can only imagine what it would be like to run in this weather.

Haha, running in the snow is definitely not fun, especially if it feels like you're running backwards on a treadmill!
