Cable is back

 We lost our cable connection sometime on Sunday--no internet, no TV and no phone land-lines.

It finally came back mid-morning on Monday.

It's embarrassing to notice how much we depend on cable....

Probally a good call

 It's 4 p.m. in Cheshire and is already snowing.

Could be a big storm.

We shall see.

I'll try to remember to pray tomorrow to make up for not having church.

I'm sorry to say, my personal prayer life is not that intense.

Hard to say as an Episcopal priest.

But there it is.

Someday I'll maybe learn if I should have prayed more.

Maybe.

Even that is an odd 'priest confession'.

But confession is, I DO believe, good for the soul.

No church again romorrow

Trinity, Milton is cancelled again tomorrow--two in a row.

Snow turning to a freezing mix is the reason.

So, no sermon again.

And sleeping in is good!

 

Valentine Day is tomorrow

 I gave Bern yellow roses today since I didn't think I could get them early enough tomorrow.

I've got a few other things and a card I'll leave in the kitchen tonight since I go to bed later than her.

In September we'll have been married 55 years.

She is not the love of my life--she is my life!

I love her so, so much.

I trust she knows that....

Mike L. is a great guy

 On April 5th I'm doing a funeral for a woman I never met but who was a long-time member before she moved away.

I met with her son, Mike, today and was glad to know he has mapped out the service wonderfully!

He'll even do the homily, which frees me from talking about someone I never met.

"She would have wanted Que Sara Sara at some point," he told Gene and me. That's perfect for Trinity since the prelude and postlude are more likely to be popular and familiar music.

As he and Gene talked about her, I wish I had met her and that she would have been part of my life.

snowy night and strange day

 It snowed a ton last night. Trinity was right to cancel church. I couldn't have gotten out of our driveway at 8:15 am, when I leave for Milton.

But the day was strange.

Our neighbor Mark cleared the driveway and our walkways. Bless him.

Bern couldn't take Brigit on her morning walk. Much too slick.

I didn't wake up until 9:30--when church would have started except for the snow.

I took a shower, something I never do on Sunday since I have to go to church.

I had breakfast, which I never do on Sunday, looking forward to the great coffee hours at Trinity.

Everything about today felt strange.

Well, there will be the Super Bowl!

 

No Church tomorrow

Odd not to write a sermon.

Odd to be home on a Sunday I was supposed to work.

But church has been cancelled because of the expected snow.

I will enjoy tomorrow because of the Super Bowl!

 Go Chiefs!!!

I'll wear my Chiefs' hoodie as I watch.

Something to look forward to....
