ICY SUNDAY

We are coated with ice. It is only a matter of time before we lose power. We will not attempt to get to church today. I remember my dad (a pastor) never closing the church for ice and/or snow. I would say, "You are putting people at risk who feel like they must be at church because it is open." and he would say to me, "Those people do not have to come if they don't want to, but how terrible would it be for the person who needs to be there and battles the elements to get there only to find the church locked?"
