Last night, the final season of Lost came crashing down from the sky as the Oceanic castaways ramped-up for their final bizarre and strange journey.  For several years now, we have been entertained by Jack, Sawyer, Kate, John, Hurley and the rest of the crew attempting to make sense of their eccentric existence on a peculiar island where anything can happen.  We have seen dead people come back to life, polar bears emerge from nowhere, and dark smoke extract the life out of anything that it touches.  And last night, the season began with more deep dives into an already complex story.  In other words, totally awesome!

Shared this story with our Day School children during chapel this morning... 

Early one morning, Tibby bounded out of bed to discover something wonderful had happened during the night. It had snowed!!!

At once, Tibby decided he absolutely, positively needed to go outside and play.  He dreamed of snowmen, snowballs, snow angles, snow forts, and anything and everything having to do with snow.  

Just as he reached for the door, his mother yelled from the bedroom, “Tibby, dear, if you are going outside to play in the snow, make certain you put on your warm coat!  You do not want to get sick.”

Tibby was not amused.  He was not a baby after all.  He stomped his foot on the ground and remarked, “Oh mom, I don’t want to wear my warm coat today!”

But Tibby’s mother continued, “And Tibby, don’t forget your thick mittens!”

Tibby let out a big sigh and stomped his foot on the ground yet again,“Mom, I don’t want to wear my warm coat or my thick mittens!”  He rolled his eyes and thought to himself, how can you build a good snowball with thick mittens?
