"BEEN AWAY SO LONG I HARDLY KNEW THE PLACE, GEE IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK HOME"

That's right kids. Out with the old and in with the new. The old furnace came out Monday. The new furnace went in Monday afternoon. The installation was completed on Tuesday. So, this morning, I cranked up the heat and moved everything that had been in the parish hall and my office back to where it belonged.

BCP's and Hymnals are back in the pews. The hymnboard is back on the wall. The musician's hymnal is back by the organ. The baptismal font is back in the church. The sacristy is out of my office (!!) and back in the sacristy. And, best of all, not a smell of gas anywhere. Life, for the time being, is back to normal. I know that won't last long, but let me bask for awhile anyway.

The only thing left now is to cover up that hole behind the altar. Note to self: Get that done before The Dude With The Pointy Hat arrives.
