it snowed!
that's right. this morning i woke up and looked out my window and saw white. we got like a good 2 inches of wet snow. people were making snow-persons this morning. so now pretty much all the snow is off of the ground.
one of the snow-persons this morning had a plank through it's eye. what a hypocritical sinning snowman.

old school journal 2.9.04
wow it's been a while since my last "entry"
well, yesterday i went to a presbyterian church.
the outside was as big and impressive as the baptist church. there were little "altar girls" standing at the huge wooden doors handing out the bulletins/programs that would be our much needed guide for the service.
we went into the tall sanctuary with many arches and stained glass windows. the top half of the front wall had this really cool looking wooden thing. it was a bunch of arches and designs carved into one big arch, sort of like a big shield. i know i'm not describing it very well. sorry.
the choir had on red robes with a cross on the collar, the bell choir wore the same robes, but also had white gloves. the pastor had on a blue robe and when he came out he looked angry and disapproving. he kept that expression through most of the service.
the "altar girls" walked up the center aisle and lit the candles that were in front of the pulpit.
the choir sang. the bell choir played amazing grace. it sounded lovely. we sang a couple hymns. the only instruments were an organ and a trumpet. there was a prayer that the congregation prayed from the bulletin about how sinful we were. then the pastor said that we were forgiven. there were more songs and prayers, a couple of scripture readings, and the apostle's creed. and there was a short, boring, sometimes confusing sermon about not worrying. and a couple more songs and then we exited the sanctuary to the tune of the postlude titled "postludium".
as we went back out the huge wooden doors, the pastor shook our hands and asked our names. he was the first person to talk to us since the "altar girls" when we entered, and i think they were actually talking to each other.
