One Night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking on the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you the most you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

I just love that story. I don't know who wrote it but whoever they are they did a good job. Today, the craziest thing happened. Today (yes, in April) it snowed! Not a big heavy snow but a light feathery snow that won't stick. Maybe if were lucky it'll snow on Easter! Wouldn't that be something! Well, I need to go now so to all you who read my blog (Specter) thank you for your constant support and good day!

I can't say much more about that story, it says it all itself. You can always trust God to be right there.... I take it back. There is one thing that can be said. It could be thought that instead of just the trying times, The Lord is carrying us all the time, because without Him, we are absolutely hopeless.
Snowing! In April? Even we had a slight chance of snow over the weekend. Really cold around here...
I just wanna clear something up about that name. it really wasn't original, especially after I realized I was "spectre" and one of "the others from OK" was "Shadow" (as in The Shadow Knows). I think I kinda worried him for a while with that, so I decided to go with my current name (but only after he himself called me that).
Alright, I'm done now. No really. I'm not going on anymore. :)
I heard you got snow Saturday?!?!
