So last week church got cancelled. It was snowing, a bit icy, and darn chilly, so I understood and thankfully, the choir director caught me just as I was leaving. I went over to the building anyway, since I had a present for the pastor, wanted to get a copy of the music for next week, and had a bread starter to give to someone. No big deal, except we had to postpone the Christmas program.
So this morning it's really cold again (think -35) and the snow is blowing around a bit, so I get up about 7:15 (slept in) and called pastor to see if Church was cancelled. Besides, I don't want to take a shower if there's nowhere to go! He says NO. We're having church!
So I get everybody fed, straightened up, and then I go to take a shower and as I'm getting ready, the phone rings. It's pastor. He says he's cancelling after all, because all the other churches did. Bummer...one more week to put off the Christmas program.
BUT...on the bright side, I got the house cleaned. Yesterday I got all the presents wrapped, and most of the laundry done. So I feel accomplished, but I miss services. Two weeks is a long time to go without church!
Maybe God will smile on us Christmas Eve and we'll make it to services. Cross your fingers!

If the past few days are any indication of what this winter will be like, it is going to be a really long season. Brrr.
Wow, I don't think I have ever had church cancelled b/c of snow. (Even thought I am sure I skipped a few times due to snow!) We have had continual snow for the last week and an half and it is really cold here at well. 20's to maybe 30 and then more snow and the wind, I so do not like the wind chill factor!! :):) Hope you make it to Christmas eve service.
love, jori
