Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass- it is about learning to dance in the rain.

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM

It was a sort of joke around our church for several years. We'd have a missions conference in January, and that week the weather would be icy cold, stormy, tons of snow, the worst weather of the month.

This weekend, we have a friend arriving from Houston to speak at services this weekend. We are having service Friday evening, Saturday evening and Sunday morning. (See the red highlights for predicted temperatures here!!) When the word bitter is used in a weather forecast, you know it isn't good.

Now the Houston forecast is fairly cold...for Houston, the place that invented hot and sultry. I hope Pastor Steve has not seen the weather forecast for Chicago!!!

Oh yeah, gotta love that midwest weather! I miss it. Grew up in the midwest, we're east coast now which really isn't that much different.

PJ, thanks for commenting on my blog!

I live in Rockford, obviously not too far from you, and I'm bracing myself for the weekend cold! I'm glad I don't have to go to work Saturday morning.

OK, just so you know, here in Minnesota it's -18. I think anything colder than freezing is just plain too cold and doesn't deserve a number, but it still freaks me out that it can get THAT cold! Brrrr!

Okay, Linda, you win the cold competition! I willingly concede! This morning my car thermometer said -3. (Then there was wind chill, etc.!) But -18 is to cold for me to think about!!!
