Church stuff

dreamflowerSo, I may have mentioned that I am on the Advent Committee for my church this year. The subcommittee (me and Mrs. C) are in charge of preparing a devotional booklet for the Advent season.
So, yesterday
Mrs. C picked me up, and we went over to one of our members homes. He's a pro photographer, but he does a lot of work gratis for the church. We hoped to find a nice picture of the church sanctuary decorated for the holiday, and he came up with a great one:
We loved it! The booklet will include devotions from members of the church, one for each day of Advent, as well as some fillers, such as recipes and children's activities.
We also got some price quotes for getting the covers printed. (We'll be using the church copier for the printing of the text.) Then we had a meeting with the rest of the committee last night. Everyone loved the way our booklet's going, and we got the liturgy and order of worship planned for the first Sunday of Advent.
So, anyway on my way home from the meeting last night, the weather was doing what it had done all day: drizzle and mist. Until I pulled into my driveway, parked, and got out of the car. The very moment I locked the car door, there was a boom of thunder and a bucketload of water landed on me! Just going from driveway to house, I was completely soaked.
Ten minutes later, the rain was over.
*sigh*
