My church shares our building with another church called Trinity Reformed Church. Mark woke me up this morning and told me that Trinity was having an Ash Wednesday service. I jumped out of bed and got dressed and went in.

I did a couple of readings at my church’s Christmas Eve service this evening. If you’d be interested in hearing th, I do a scripture reading right at the beginning (and there’s a glitch you have to click past), and then Dale reads the Christmas story from Luke 2.

But I have received a lot of support and condolences from my friends. Thank you to those of you who have sent me cards and condolences too!
