Friday’s thoughts
The snow is going to be an important feature this year. Most of us were stuck at home yesterday. I have made it to the office this morning, and we have thought about what needed to be done to prepare for Christmas Eve. The chair in my office broke. One of the wheels sRevenapped off and flew into the hall. It didn’t hit anyone but if it had there could have been a substantial injury. I guess I shouldn’t be thinking such heavy thoughts at Christmas. The snow-thrower broke at home when I was trying to clear a path in the driveway. The result was great however. All the neighbors got together and we liberated each other. The copier in the office broke. It got choked up on the Christmas Eve bulletin. We’re waiting for a part to be delivered from Cheyenne. This could be a long wait. We have ordered more candles for the services. If they don’t arrive we may have to activate our cell phones to light up the Sanctuary.

In spite of the snow, and because of the snow, we will do everything possible to make the Christmas Eve services meaningful.
