What a Day

Well, this day is about over. Soon I am off to bed. But what a day. The snow forced us to cancel church (see previous post) and so this morning saw our first ever video conference Matins so that the folks of my congregation could still hear the Word of God proclaimed. It worked pretty well. We offered two times so that everyone could log on who wanted to. This is a nice tool to have - not a substitute for church, but nice when situations like this arise.

After that was a couple of hours of digging out the house and cars. Still haven't had a plow down the street, so getting out tomorrow will be dicey. After shoveling, played games with the family for a while. We were supposed to go hear the US Navy Band's Holiday concert, see the National Christmas Tree and all the state trees around it, and then go to dinner in DC, but that all got canceled. :-( But the games were fun.

Then it was to the TV to watch my Eagles clinch a playoff spot with a win against the 49ers. So all in all, a nice day. Tomorrow a busy week of sermons, family plans, finishing up tasks, and getting ready to travel after Christmas. Now off to bed. I'm beat.

Dear Pastor Peasant...
Just wanted to drop a note to let you know how much I enjoy reading your reviews and rants. They hold you in good stead, though you are like my wife in that you are an Eagles fan (she hails from Philly). It was refreshing to read of your quiet time spent with your family during the snowstorm... for in our ministerial pursuits they sometimes get treated as afterthoughts. Blessings to you for Christmas in the name of Jesus our Lord. Keep writing such a great witness.
