There has been a full moon the last few nights.
I can see it out the window where I'm sitting.
And it will begin to wane now.
Waxing and waning are interesting words.
But it is 10 degrees outside.
Very cold.
I love a full moon and hate the cold.
That's just me.
I had to go to Big-Y at 10 because the afternoon was busy.
I'm making coconut cod and lobster rolls with salad and potato tots for dinner.
At 2:30 we took Brigit to the Vet.
She's very well. Plus the Vet is a pretty woman.
Then at 3:30 we took Bern's truck to English Auto for a check-up in the morning.
Whew! That's a lot for me on a Monday....
Bern's talking to our youngest grand-daughter on zoom right now and I'm writing this.
Soon, I'll go make dinner.
Then, at 7, my favorite TV show.
Long day for me....
Things went well at church today.
We did Eucharistic Prayer C--which is my favorite.
Four ladies who used to go to another church did a great coffee hour.
As always, the music from Michael Ford was great.
My sermon was well received and quoted in today's newsletter.
All was well.
All was well.
All was well....
I couldn't get my printer to work to print out my sermon.
We had a new router installed and I didn't know what to do.
I wrote out my sermon by hand--which I could barely read!
But Bern figured it out and printed out my sermon.
Now I can read it....
Thank God for Bern.
For many reasons...so many...so many....
Sunday is the Baptism of Christ.
I'll be talking about baptism.
I have a lot to say.
I will let you know what I say.
Ponder your baptism.
OK?
We didn't have Wed. Bible Study at Trinity during December.
But we were back today.
I actually missed everything about it but the 32 mile drive to get there.
Those who come are insightful and willing to share their thoughts.
I like the interaction.
We're reading the lessons for the next Sunday these days.
It sometimes helps me with my sermon.
We'll see on Sunday....
I spent much of my life there. Both our children were born there. Bern and I are both from McDowell County (which if you are from there is pronounced "MackDowell".)
But I spoke on the phone today with a woman from the Church Insurance Company who was, inexplicably in Charleston, WV.
She said Charleston was shut down by snow.
Since West Virginia is used to snow, there must be a lot.
Today in CT was sunny and cold--but no more snow.
When we lived there, West Virginia was one of the Bluest states in the nation.
Today, it is deep Red.
Another reason I'm glad I'm not there.
Give me Democratic solid CT any day--for all the cold up here.
