I like winter weather and always have. I love the beauty it creates, I love the coziness of staying inside (though when I worked with the homeless in Durham, it did make me rethink my stance). I really don't mind it all and I'm happy that it often makes us slow down a bit. I'm going to add a qualifier, though: no winter precipitation on Saturday nights.
It's been a bit of a crazy morning. We were supposed to have our Church Family Christmas Dinner. With the relationships within the church on the mend and folks actually enjoying spending time together, I looked forward to our lunch. But nooooooooo. It had to rain. And then snow. And then it got really cold. The snow looks pretty, but the ice on the roads does not. So we (meaning me and my minions) have had to make the decision whether to have church or not. We elected to postpone. It's supposed to warm up later, which will, in theory, melt some of the ice. So we'll have an evening service and dinner afterwards. I'm sure the crowd won't be as large, but as I called around this morning, folks seemed relieved that they wouldn't have to get out in it just yet.
So now I have a rare Sunday morning in. I'm wondering what I'll do with the extra time....

How wonderful to be able to add to your blog. Maybe just for you eyes? Your worries were important as the ice can cause undue precautions and this would make for the sparse congregation. That being said, the service was great! There were many there and it was warm and cozy in the church. The meal was great and it seems everyone was full of cheer. Thanks so much for all you do.
Merry Christmas,
Gayle
