Springlike Saturday

Today is just beautiful. Birds singing, warm, not too hot. It was supposed to rain all day. I even got planting done. But the weather scared me off from running a race this morning, and now I'm sad. I guess if we had run it it would have been pouring.
Another funeral to do-- this makes five or six since the middle of February. It always seems like we have multiples when we have a death. The last time we had this was two years ago. It's so hard on the congregation. And our Memorial chair isn't handling the influx of donations too well. We keep getting calls from people who want to know why their $5 cheques haven't cleared. It's hard not to respond sarcastically to that--
Any way you look at it, Spring is here, and at the same time, folks are dying. What an odd juxtaposition.
Tomorrow is the last Dead Sea Scrolls Bible study, meaning I have to find a new one to start. I think I'll suggest we start the Sunday after Easter, though that might mean having to remind folks. It will be interesting to see who actually goes to see the scrolls. I think maybe we'll do a study on one of the books of the Old Testament. Who knows.
