I got a number of voice mail messages yesterday from Michigan, all of which included the information that it's very cold and very snowy there. "White out" was a term mentioned more than once. I feel only mildly guilty that I'm taking gleeful pleasure in the sunshine and relatively mild temperatures of Missouri. I know I'll pay with heat and humidity in July, but for now my toes have thawed out, my lips are no longer chapped, and I'm enjoying the moment.

One of the patterns I observe in myself is that, after a prolonged time of having fewer interactions, I get reserved and somewhat tentative about entering a big new group situation. I'm not experiencing that at work, thankfully, but I'm feeling a bit shy about visiting the large church I've planned to attend tomorrow. Well, even if it's not wonderful, I'll have learned a lot and worshipped God. Not a bad list of objectives for a Sunday morning.
