"Must be beautiful in Vermont this time of year...

...all that snow."

This past Sunday I drove up to Clarendon, Vermont with a few others from Connecticut for Sunday services. There wasn't a minister so we listened to tapes.  Morning service was from 1988.  When I heard that, I initially involuntarily wrinkled up my nose at the idea of listening to something so out-dated.  It ended up being one of the neatest services I'd ever heard simply because it illustrated so well the fact that God's Word spans across time.  A sermon given 24 years ago had as much significance and was just as applicable today. God's Word is alive.

Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Hebrews 13:8  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

And then on the way home from Vermont we allowed ourselves quite a few detours.  We being Sis. Becca Moser and I.   Drove up Okemo ski mountain (see picture above).

Had afternoon tea with Mr. Darcy....well, not really, but we did stop and photograph the sign. Rather strategically so as to get Okemo in the background! ;)

And of course we had to stop at the Vermont Country Store.  Everything from cheese and maple candy to rust stain remover.  Deliciousness!!.....the cheese and maple candy that is.

I really enjoyed my time in Vermont.  I am partial to the smaller church.  But even the state itself seemed quiet somehow. 

Hasta!
