Will It or Won't It?
The Weather Service is predicting a great old-fashioned snow storm of 6 - 12" (which is a lot for us in central/southern Minnesota, believe it or not) with wind and blowing and drifting. Should be fun- if the worst holds off until after church on Sunday morning.

Now the bad news- I procrastinated too long in getting the snow blower serviced. I hope it starts- and runs right.

Getting Excited for Thanksgiving
Next Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the USA. As I have said before, we are doing a first-time ever free community Thanksgiving meal from 11:00 - 1:00 that day. For a church of only 170 members it appears as a big undertaking. But you know what? The community has gotten even more excited than we are. We have around 40 people volunteering who aren't even connected to the church. Wow! Even the mayor is coming to serve.

Since it is our first, some people are saying we will have so much left over. While others are saying what are we going to do when we run out? To both groups (and I lean to the latter group) I say- Let's not forget 5 loaves and 2 fish that fed alot more than we are planning on feeding. Will keep you posted.

Another Snow Post
John Adams has seen his first snow that he remembers. He said they were like in the words of a Sixpence song, "like a million parachutes, tiny men on a mission." It is interesting to get a reflection on something that I take for granted from a whole new perspective.

Less Than Half
Less than half of all Americans were alive when John Kennedy went to Dallas. Let's put this into perspective. Less than half. Yes, I was one of them- a sophomore in high school. But let's not make that day more than it was- or less. It has made JFK into a folk-hero that he wasn't. It did change a generation's view of the world. But it is also ancient history. A majority of people weren't even alive then, but they have been affected. Perhaps I'll succumb to the temptation and blog about it tomorrow. If I don't, well, then I had nothing interesting to say. After all I still have another post on Jewish and Christian that hasn't been finished yet.

But if we get that snowstorm..... Hmmmm!
