I’ve tried now for three days to fight off whatever cold I’ve been catching and it officially took control of me yesterday. I thought I had turned a corner by the afternoon and even ventured out for the second of three funerals this week. I went to bed feeling better and then this morning awoke to the pain of realizing I was officially still sick.

It’s just a cold, thankfully – and will pass in a day or two, but that doesn’t help the fact that this is one incredibly busy weekend coming up. I’ve got to finish preparation for Sunday morning’s message and for Sunday night’s youth service, too! I will do my best to attend the third funeral tomorrow, too at Noon.

On top of being sick we got a fresh load of snow through the night last night! Probably another 3-4 inches on top of our already fallen 10+! Cool, huh?

I love Wisconsin. This is my first sickness in 5-months of being here – that’s not a bad track-record! Maybe Wisconsin loves me too?

Did some early-Winter Spring-cleaning today here on stevansheets.com

Please enjoy the cleanliness.

Heading to the funeral of one of the three Mukwonago High Seniors tonight. There will be two more in the next few days.

I had a great “dialogue” with Pastor Dan Bickel yesterday (he’s our Wisconsin District Superintendent). He meets once-a-year with each pastor on the district for a 2+ hour dialogue about ministry, family, and whatever else we could think of! It was great knowing that my D.S. cared about me enough to spend two hours of his day with me talking about me-stuff! I felt loved and appreciated for sure!

Working on a message around the theme of the Three Wise Men for Sunday morning this week. I’m also working on a God-as-comfort-giver message for Sunday night this week.

We got a huge snowstorm yesterday afternoon and all night. We now have about 8-10 inches of snow on the ground. I used a sweet snowblower this morning to make my way from the house to the church – and I only managed to fall on my butt twice, once-again throwing my back out-of-whack and causing me great discomfort most of the day today!

The snow is beautiful! I hope it stays and gets added to soon!
