Weird weekend

This has been an unusual weekend for sure. It started off, for me, with a 3-day fever as a result of a diphtheria/tetanus vaccine. (My doc said I was due.) With all the shaking and sweats, sleep was all but impossible. Thankfully, I found that AF does a great impression of Florence Nightingale, checking my temp every two hours.

Next, we enjoy a progressive music ministry at our church, but the guest band this weekend stepped it up a notch. In addition to drums, bass guitar, lead guitar, and piano, the band included a brass section of 2 trumpets, a trombone, a small sax, and a large sax (that appeared to be a cross between an oboe and an elephant trunk). They sounded like a mixture of Chicago and Earth, Wind, & Fire. Our church often incorporates secular music, keenly using the lyrics to make a spiritual point. I took the video below with my cell phone. (How often does that happen in church?) See if you recognize the song:

Finally, we'd heard there was a chance for snow Sunday night. It's rained constantly since Friday, and tonight at 7pm, a giant lightning bolt struck about a mile from the house. Only 5 minutes later, it was snowing outside! We heard two meteorologists use a new term tonight: "thunder snow". So far, we've got 3 of the predicted 6 inches. We're looking forward to a very late start in the morning.

I hope your weekend was just as fun...minus the fever.
