Rain and Snow and Ice

As Julie reminded Wally in Saturday's Warrior, "I've stood here through it all- through  short and fat and tall, through thick and thin and rain and snow and ice.......", our families have also stood through it all. Our families are there through our joys and sorrows, our illnesses, and our greatest accomplishments. They are there for it all and through it all, but sometimes they are there a little too often and come just a little too close. Families are a source of great joy in our lives especially when centered upon the gospel of Jesus Christ, but sometimes they can also cause us more pain and heartache than we can stand to bear. In this blog, we'll explore how families can be sources of both joy and torment and slowly but surely discover together if the joy they bring outweighs the torment and whether or not we want them by our sides in the "rain and snow and ice...." because from what I hear it gets mighty cold here in the Burg.
