The past couple months have brought several “seasons.” Spring, the final days of waiting for a new baby and now this pandemic season we’ll never forget. It’s made living seasonally very odd. But it’s also exciting to welcome all the changes at once, the familiar and the very unfamiliar.
April 15: For a couple days last week Phil took 5 of the babies and headed to Kansas to do some camping. As of that week they still had parks open to overnight campers well, and to the public at all. Nebraska has closed all parks for use due to COVID. He found a very nice place for them to rest and play. While he was gone the rest of us piddled around the parsonage. We had a glorious afternoon so we headed out for a short walk, as much as Mama can handle these days.
April 8: Holy Wednesday our church held a drive in service heard via radio in our members vehicles. It was just a short service of readings, prayers, and music for anyone who desired to hear God’s Word in person, actually lay eyes on their pastor and other brothers and sisters but doesn’t want to get out of their car. Our pastors and staff have had to get creative during this time of pandemic. We are thankful to a new member of ours who works for a radio station and set all this up for us (not pictured.)
