It's Sunday, March 9, 2008 at 11:29 in the morning. I'm sitting in my office, when normally I would be preaching. A building that is always buzzing with a multitude people is silent. It feels very strange. Of course, this variation from the norm was caused by a blizzard that started Friday night, and lasted until late last evening.
The snow plows are not even out this morning, which is odd given the fact that the main roads are still snow and ice covered. Not to mention the subdivisions and side roads, many of which have not seen a snow plow since the storm began.
Its interesting how people's reactions to bad weather are so diverse based on where they live. Here in Cincinnati, people are hunkered down, very few vehicles on the road, a general "fear" has swept over the land. However, about 150 miles North of here, its business as usual in most places!
All but a few churches in our area canceled their services today. We are having service at 2:00 this afternoon, but may still only have a fraction of our regular attendance. I pray I am surprised!
So this is what it feels like to be somewhere other than in church on Sunday morning! :)

Thank you for not cancelling service on Sunday! What a great turn out for a 2pm service!
