Warming up nicely

Posted by Reverend Ref + at 3:16 PM

I had some time to shovel snow this morning. By the time I finished, my fingers were darn near frozen stiff (or so it seemed).

On my way downtown for my ministerial association meeting, the reader board at the bank said it was 7 -- that would be degrees, not a.m. Seven degrees at 9:30 a.m.

After the meeting at 10:30, it had warmed up to 11. That's not bad; four degrees in an hour.

And when I checked the temp gauge on my computer, it says we are now at 17.

It's a great day in SW Montana.

========================

UPDATE:

I was in the church today to change hymn numbers. The water in the font has frozen solid. I wonder if throwing pieces of ice at people qualifies as an aspersion?

I have Sheridan and VC on my dashboard, and this morning when I got up it was -1° in VC. Whee.

I'll stop whining about the chilly 64° we had today. :-)

Tell me again why I want to move to Great Falls??

17*. Can't say as though I miss that.

Wow - even in the unheated sanctuaries in Germany I never saw baptismal ice. It could be kinda fun on the aspersion side though, especially when combined with a little John the Baptist flavor:

"You brood of vipers!"
*CRACK*

"Bear fruits worthy of repentance!"
*CRACK*

reads If thy eye offends thee, let the priest toss a piece of frozen holy water at it. And if thy hand offends thee, let the priest saw it off with the same frozen holy water.
