At 5:00 am it was 34 F. The high today is 52 F. Hopefully it will be enough to melt the ice on the north face of our driveway. It snowed last Sunday. We drove over or through the snow packing it down which resulted in it turning to ice during the overnight hours into Monday morning. I believe if I had scraped the lane before driving over it the ice would have melted by now. The only problem is that I do not have a tractor. At some point in the distant future I hope to purchase one. Until then we will continue driving through or over the snow. It's not that big of an issue given that we rarely get snow and ice.
I am looking forward to the day ahead. I will be in Charlottesville. I works as a substance abuse clinician at the Mohr Center near the downtown mall. It's a great place to work. I have been there for a year now. Yesterday was my one year performance review. It went great! I set goals for the year ahead and will check back in later in the year to assess for progress. Besides my work at the rehab I also pastor at Central Baptist Church in Lowesville, Va. This is my eleventh year pastoring at Central. I look forward to many more years. In fact, I could not imagine being the pastor at any other church in our community. I feel the deep sense of being called to the work at Central Baptist Church. With out a sense of being called to the work it would just be a job. I live a couple miles from the church. This works so well for many different reasons one of which pertains to our current situation with having the driveway frozen over. When it snows we stage all of our two wheel drive cars at the church and use a 4x4 jeep as a shuttle. It's a good arrangement.
Instead of rambling on about various things I will sign off for now.
