Vestry Graduate

I am no longer part of the Vestry at Christ Church Norcross. I served my full term as the Buildings and Grounds liaison. It was three years. There were a lot of items to deal with over the years. But the effort wasn't the work. It was the responsibility and knowing that I wasn't doing enough. I think most people get that feeling with obligations. Maybe not.

It snowed here last night in Atlanta. The whole place shuts down. Lots of businesses closed (including mine). The snow had decent traction, a lot better than the cold micro-ice crystals we get in Berkshire NY. The snow is light to moderately heavy.
