One thing I don't like about being a pastor.
Tonight we are supposed to get lots and lots of snow...
So that means I will be up late looking at forecasts and up very early to drive the roads and talk to people in the know about the roads.
There will be phone calls about whether or not we are canceling a gathering.
Then if we don't cancel - which I tend to not do - someone will come up to me at the gathering and say, "Why didn't you cancel? It is dangerous! You should have canceled!" Then I wonder why in the world they are standing before me if it is so dangerous. I try to say, "We want people to know we are here and if you feel like it is too dangerous for you to come then please stay home and stay safe - there is no pressure for you to come."
Anyways - I expect all these things in the next 24 hours so it should be fun.
God give me patience, wisdom, good counsel, and help the snow blow over and hit only Grand Rapids. Amen.
If Santa can get out in a blizzard - surely we can - even without Rudolph, :)

And we're the church, dang it! We aren't a program or a service. We have a long tradition of gathering on the Lord's Day at great risk of personal harm. If you aren't up for it, stay home and watch TBN.
