We got our first real snow of the season today. It was nice to look out the window this morning and see the snow blanketing our yard. Our kids were more excited when they heard they didn't have school today (two days out and counting).
The snow happened to fall on Wednesday. It put me in a precarious situation about whether to have church or to cancel the service. After discussions with a fellow pastor in Portland and a few church folks, it was unanimous... we canceled church along with others in the community. We came to the decision to err on the side of caution than to put someone in jeopardy on an icy road. With the roads wet and temperatures in the teens and low 20's with possible freezing on the less traveled roads in Portland, we made the right decision. It's never easy to dismiss church, but it was for the right reason... we want to keep our people safe.
I went into the office for several hours today and then back home for an evening with the wife and kiddos. It has been a great evening. I always cherish the opportunities I have with my family. I'll admit it... I'm a family man and proud of it. Maybe the kids will get one more snow day out of the deal. We can only dream!

Have you ever noticed that business's or daycares never get a snow day, but thi hint of snow and schools are closed. I guess being from PA. I still don't get it. Well I guess I must live with it. Have a good day and good call on cancelling. Have a great day.
