I especially love how a good snowfall puts Washington, D.C. into panic mode, as it has again this week, causing federal office buildings to shut down.

“See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.” – Exodus 23:20 (NIV) Scripture is story after story of ordinary people being led by God and their response to that leading. God speaks to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land, a land filled with both promise and peril. He assures them that He will send an angel ahead of them, guiding and protecting them on their journey. This angel would not just be a passive observer, but an active guide, preparing the way an...
