Strange Sunday

The alarm was not set for this past Sunday morning, but I woke up early anyway. Even though I knew I did not have to get out of bed (and I love sleeping in) I found that I could not stay in bed. So, I got up quietly to keep from disturbing Jan. But now what? My normal routine on a Sunday morning is to quickly get ready and go to the church building early. But this Sunday morning there would be no need to go to the building. Too much snow and ice had forced us to cancel services. So, I built a fire, checked some email, and tried to settle in for a quiet day at home. Though I truly enjoyed the day at home with Jan, I could not shake the feeling that something was a little out of sync. The routine of meeting with my church family each week had been broken and it felt odd. It will make our time together Wednesday night and next Sunday even sweeter.
