This week's amended check list:<br /><br />Cold, Raining, Chance of Snow in mid-April (See: Southern Curate-digging in closet to find sweaters he had hoped had gone into summer hibernation) <strong><em>CHECK!</em></strong><br /><br />Realize we neglected to get any Confirmation gifts on Monday for aforementioned 10 Confirmands. (See: Thank goodness for overnight shipping.) <strong><em>CHECK!</em></strong><br /><br />Rector is in bed sick for 2 days this week. (See: Just plain yuckie.) <strong><em>CHECK!</em></strong><br /><br />Realize we have no remaining Vigil Lamps for the Reserve Sacrament and the one we have is burning on fumes (See: Holy Empty Vigil Lamps, Batman!) <strong>CHECK!</strong><br /><br />Running in the aforementioned freezing rain to aforementioned Holy Hardware to get case of aforementioned Vigil Lamps. (See: Cardboard Boxes-soaked) <strong><em>CHECK!</em></strong><br /><br />Heavy rain creates huge leak, which deposits plaster goop on the floor in the chapel. (See: Curate-Jobs as Assigned; Altar Guild-freak out.) <strong><em>CHECK!</em></strong><br /><br />One empty pew partially falls apart during Evening Prayer on Wednesday. (See: Curate-Jobs as Assigned; Startled Parishioner-5 feet jumping into air.) <strong><em>CHECK!</em></strong><br /><br />Yeah, maybe it is good the bishop only comes once a year.The Archer of the Foresthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03075768526819990250noreply@blogger.com
