I have the final offerings to the church on our dining room table as I put this album on the turntable. My parents gifted me the album for Christmas, so it’s my first listen of the vinyl. I have heard the album in other formats numerous times.
Outside it is a seasonably warm, but rainy day. I’m not a fan of winter rainstorms, as they leave our country homestead a muddy mess to traverse. For instance, I am not looking forward to trudging through rain and soggy ground later as I walk Millie around the pasture.
While the temperatures are in the 50s right now, the forecast says they are supposed to plunge overnight, the rain changing to snow. The temps are supposed land in the low teens with the high winds making it feel like below zero.
For those that don’t live in places that can have such sudden temperature changes, the result of this is likely to be a lot of sick people. That’s been my experience anyways. Sudden drops from warm to cold, or vice versa seem to spark cold and flu season.
I add the offerings from both today and Christmas eve to the December ledger, happy to see that this month will likely provide the padding we need when our already sparse attendance plunges in January and February. Although, we have already had a few weeks of snow, so it’s possible this season’s worst weather is behind us. Only time will tell.
Over the next couple weeks, I’ll finish the 2025 treasurer report and put together the expected budget for 2026. I don’t see much changes in either. Our annual congregation meeting will be the end of January. Once all that is passed, it’s back to normal for the minimal duties of my role as Treasurer.
