Beautiful Day

It is cold, but other than that, it is a beautiful day.  Hindsight is 20/20 and it is easy now to say we shouldn’t have cancelled church, but last night we leaned toward the side of safety.  I hate that we aren’t having church, but I stand by the decision.

• I could give a rip about snow.  Ice is another story.  Last night the DOT was telling people to stay off the roads because of ice.
• Due the fact we are portable, we had to make a decision based on what we THOUGHT weather would be like at 5 in the morning, not at service time.  We had no idea what weather would be like that early when we set-up.
• A large portion of our church comes from the north in the mountains and we assumed those roads would be worse than roads in the city.
• We had to have the lead team to let our people know.  If we only had an 11:00 service, we could have let people know this morning.  Due to the fact we have so many people who attend, serve, and have to get up early, we wanted to get the word out as best we could.
• A decision had to be made and I will always side on safety for our people.

It is 10:00 a.m. right now and I just got up.  I am looking forward to spending the day with the family, letting my voice heal, and watching some football.  I hate to miss church, but I am going to enjoy the day off.
