Some pictures from the one snowstorm we had this past winter. Even though I grew to hate the snow when I was living in northern Wisconsin, now that I'm back in DC I kind of miss it. It just seems so strange for there to be bare ground all winter.

I recently posted on the death of Tom Fox. His fellow Christian Peacemakers have now been rescued by the army, and kidnapped journalist Jill Carroll was just released by her captors. There are others still missing in Iraq, and of course many civilians and soldiers are killed there every day. But still this rescue and release are both good news.
