I know what you mean-satan has made this system a pressure cooker and every step can seem like a struggle. No one seems to be exempt and he's trying to make it harder and harder to serve Jehovah and progress spiritually. I wonder how many times we all feel like we're hanging on to sanity by a thread. But I guess we can look at it as practice for harder things to come.

btw-It's weird but I was going to text you and todd today to find out if you were going to be in VT this month. i'm glad you guys are in VT for some fresh powder (mtn creek must suck this year)! The past couple of weeks have been incredible with the powder. Hope you have fun in it(I know I will!)
