I preached again yesterday. HERE is the message. The front of the chancel has big windows in it. While the offering was being gathered, I noticed some snowflakes falling. It distracted me so much I missed the fact that the ushers were waiting for me to take the offering plates to the altar.
It was starting to stick.
After church, the snow started really coming down. It eventually turned into a full-blown snowfall. It would have been beautiful to watch from the comfort of my house, but I had to go to work. The drive there was slow and harrowing. I talked to Lauren on the phone while I was driving so that if I went off the road, someone would be able to call 911.
While I was at work, more snow fell. It made many people cancel their appointments. By the time I went home last night, the snow had turned into rain. I talked to my mom while I was driving, just in case I needed a 911-caller again.
Today is supposed to be warm enough to melt it all away.
Once again, very nice. You and Lloyd both had ‘Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates’! I bet if he knew you were preaching, he would have asked you just to text him your sermon.
Glad you made it to work and back safely! Call anytime.
The big windows overlooking the trees are the best thing about that facility, I’ve always thought. ‘Course, now there are some houses back there to interrupt the beauty…..but I can see how watching snow fall through those windows would be a bit distracting alright.
And good thinking about preparation for the 911 call – though talking on the cell while driving is now a primary offense in the great state of Md, you know. Glad you had reliable folks on the other end to cover your assets should you need them. [Perhaps you dial before you leave one location, leave the line open, and conclude the call once parked at your destination?]
No more “snow days” for you, eh? Would now be a bad time to say hubby and I hope to go the the new IHOP by us for breakfast today before he goes to church and I shop for holiday cookie fixings…..because I can…? (…that was mean, Carol!)
OK, then…off to read your message now.
The snow was just beautiful…..but I couldn’t believe how fast it accumulated on the streets! I was on my way home from the grocery store & boy was it slippery!
Glad you made it to work & back also!
Today on the way to work there was nary a car on the road. I felt like a sole survivor of some catastrophic event. I only had a 2 hour delay…but I’ll take it.
