Prayer Request

It's 1*F over here in Grand Junction, Colorado. Thankfully, having visited friends in the DC area in the past, I knew to pull all the liquids from my car. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my Sigg bottle and the water in it is frozen solid. I should have filled it up to the brim to see if the dents in it will pop out. Maybe tomorrow night :)

Checked the weather for Denver, and found this:

Crazy, isn't it? I haven't had to face such extreme weather conditions, especially while driving! It might snow tomorrow as I make my way up to the mountains after dropping dad off at the airport. God, help me make it up there safely!
