Sabbath Soft

I'm lingering in this Sunday snow fall,

at least the early morning hush of it,

as Ken and I shovel quietly.

(Yes, we're shoveling,

 and I'm still glad for the snow.)

And then the afternoon,

...laying low in Sabbath stillness.

Still snowy.

Reading and resting.

Don't worry.

We brushed off the van

before heading to worship in the morning.

But when we got back...

...we went nowhere.

Two Mondays from now I'll be on the plane.

I'll settle in and be quiet then.

Like today.

Between then and now?

Some bluster.

Packing and preparing.

Finishing big projects.

A meal and an auction.

Leading a panel on February 16.

Preaching February 23.

Not to mention

OPEN HOUSE WEEKEND

(February 15, 16, 17)

(Don't worry, I'll repost the invitation again this week.)

All good.

All very exciting.

And mostly, mostly, 

in good shape to be completed

in good order.

But for right now?

Just some Sabbath softness.

Mindful breathing.

And that is all.
