The aftermath of this last mid January blizzard left bigger drifts!

The blizzard in the middle of December was zero visibility!

Oh, Oh! After this last blizzard, it's going to be awhile

before eating outside is possible!

The second (or third?) blizzard with God's creative artistry!

Sunrise on the 29th, a very cold day!

And a beautiful, bright sun dog soon appeared!

See the News Item Below for the Four Days of Christmas!

Payal

Praise the Lord Blessed Father, please pray for Anil Sapna and Chris, & Rebecca's protection. Pray for blessings to come upon them, and forever. The weather is too bad there, and pray for their settlement in USA. Keep praying for Jaya, Piyus, Rakhi, and other colleagues who distract my mind and work and even bring more disturbances in my life. Pray for me to get another job. In Jesus' name, Amen. Father, I'll meet you on Sunday.

Dear Lord God Almighty, I ask You for my conversion, mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healing. I beg You to please grant me Your grace to imitate the holy virtues of my favorite saints St. Rita of Casia and St. Jude Thadeus. Help me to start and finish praying their novenas for my needs, dreams and goals. I also beg You for the conversion of my brothers Esteban A.V. and for You to help him come back to the USA (we need an expert lawyer asap and the financial means to pay him or her), Carlos G. V., for the conversion of my sister Delfina G.V. and for You to grant her Your grace to come back to the Catholic Church soon. Also for the conversion of Florisel G. V., Liliana G. V., Isidoro G. V., Maribel G. V. and Orlando A. and their conversion and healing from their behavior. I pray for the conversion of my friends Robert, Betsy, Margie, Monica, Richard, Edgar, Benitos, Mary, Angelina, John P., the Impact program in Morena Blvd., the leasing office staff at Atmosphere Apts. in San Diego, CA., and the conversion of all sinners in general. We pray in the name of Jesus and Mary His mother. Amen. Thank you.
