The Pounding of a Lifetime

So at my new church, we apparently do something called a pounding(don’t worry I had never heard of one either) in which the entire Church comes together and stocks the pantry of a new minister with a pound or so of everything. So today we were pounded! It was pretty amazing! We received about 22 lb. of sugar, 15 cans of tuna, 14 cans of whole corn (5 or so of the creamed corn variety), at least 20 cans of beans (ranch style, baked, refried), a couple pounds of flour,  baby food, 200 diapers, lots of can soups and about a million other things that would be too numerous to mention.  Here are some pictures below:  

      

By the way, we had to use an empty bookcase as an extra pantry because we had so much food and not enough space to store.  Probably the only time we will ever have that problem, but it is a great one to have.

“Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.”

 So we were supposed to see snow last night. We did, not much but we did. When we awoke this morning it was about 40 degrees and the snow had disappeared from everywhere that was not still cast in shadow from the morning sun. So I saw about a quarter inch of snow. “Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.”
