Call off Sunday Morning?


Here in my part of the east we are about to be dumped on by either a heavy rain or 8 inches of snow. People on Delmarva hate snow (except kids), and even an inch can shut down schools and churches. The wood is loaded into the basement in front of the wood furnace, which takes over when it's too cold for the oil furnace. I'm ready.

Once, 5 or 6 years ago, we had a terrible snow storm on a saturday night that dumped 5 or 6 inches of snow. It was everywhere. We called around the prayer chain and cancelled the moring gathering. Some people actually showed up!

Well, since then, we decided that nothing would stop our gathering. If there is a snow event coming, we will say that the building will be open, and anyone desiring to be there can come. Coffee might be available even.

The last snow, 2 years ago, brought 5 people (two of which lived upstairs in the building's apartment. I was there (thanks to a Jeep). We gathered in a circle and prayed and read the Word.

Who knows what will happen tonight. But, we will be there tomorrow. Neither rain, sleet, snow, gloom of night, or Christmas on Sunday will stop us from gathering together in the name of Christ.
