Weird Snow Creation

3%20in%20Snow.jpg

Yesterday, after a week of warm weather, we got snow again. It wasn't that much—certainly not enough to build a snow man. The picture above was taken a few weeks ago. I decided to do something different than the normal snow man, so I did a little snow-sculpting. My creation turned out looking like a cross between Bill Clinton and Buddha. Weird, but it was fun. What's the strangest snow creation you've ever seen or made yourself?

I don't know about the weirdest snow creations I've seen.... after all after being here for 10 years you lose track! But man alive, you're talented!

If God didn't call you into ministry, I'm sure he would have called you into snow sculpting!

Ed,

A snow sculpting career...I'll have to think about that.

Well, as a proud Canadian who has too much fluffy stuff around I don't think I've taken enough advantage of making snow sculptures, although recently while me and my friend were waiting for the bus after school we constructed a huge snowman right beside the bus stop, but we never got to finish it becuase the bus showed up, and then later I suppose someone destroyed it, which was sad..oh well, anyways I'm reading "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" for the 2nd time, and it's a really good book, and I thought to myself he must have a website, I'll check it out, thats why I'm on here in the first place haha...

Your kids are so adorable! I always say that to myself everytime I view pics of them here in your blog! :)

About snow creations, I don't have any weird ones.. well, I don't have any in the first place because I live in a tropical country..we don't have winter and snow here :) only rainy days and sunny days ;)

How's the baby?

considering the fact that you are a pastor and author.. have you ever thought of doing art?
and i was also wondering how you make time to prepare for your messages on sunday with all the other responsibilities you have.

Wow, now THAT's exceptional talent there, Josh!! You've really got a knack with flakes :P :)

Being from Wisconsin, I really should be more skilled in snow sculpting, but I hadn't done it in years until just a few weeks ago when we got somewhere around 40 inches and decided to build a snow man... There's a pic of it here:

But it's really an embarrasing feat in comparison to yours ;)

I'd say it looks like a Billiken, but with (more) hair:

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
Stephen Altrogge Reviews Dug Down Deep: Over at the Blazing Center blog they've posted a very generous review of the book. Read it.
