Might have to cancel church due to ice storm

I have been watching the weather reports and it looks like we have a very good chance of getting slammed with a major ice storm which is suppose to start at around 2am. I wouldn't worry too much about it if it were snow, but since it will ice, I may cancel service. We are supposed to get 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice!!!

Mrs MOW just came up to me and asked me if I was like a school boy who thought he might get a "snow day."

My answer was, "No way! I just don't want anyone to get hurt or end up in the ditch"

Was I telling the truth?

We hardly ever cancel service (maybe once a year in Feb), but for ice, I will.

I think that's smart bro.

Some folks are so 'stubborn' (meant as a compliment) that they'd come even if the weather was bad, but if you cancel service, they will have no reason to come and actually stay home and be safe.

I, however, am not one of those stubborn people.... especially since people in Austin can't even drive in the rain, much less the ice. I'm not getting on the roads and putting my life in their hands.

We are under a winter storm alert...the weather man is predicting 6-9 inches of snow between 4am-midnight Sunday.

We might just have church here...mom can sing, I'll preach and take the offering...
