HEAT WAVE
(Sunday) It was up to 30 degrees and it felt WARM. I guess when everything has been subzero for most of the week it really messes up one's perception of reality. It's kind of like taking a blue pill.

This morning I went to worship with the Cuyler Covenant Church. This is a congregation of about 60 people down by Wrigley Field. What a wonderful, warm church and a well planned service. Jonathan Wilson is the pastor. And it sure doesn't hurt to have Jerome Nelson (!), Director of Church and Society for the Central Conference as his chief sidekick. Two years ago this congregation was half the size in a deteriorating building. It's amazing what can happen with a little leadership.
