Winter Snowstorm December 2022

-


 




                            I first heard reports made in church of an oncoming snowstorm that could cancel 

church Christmas morning.  The music minister did not put much faith into what the meteorologist 

had to say so he just pushed that announcement to the side.  The elder made sure that the 

announcement was made though.  I was sitting in the congregation in a state of shock for this is the 

first, I'd ever heard of it. 

                           So, once I got home, I started to listen to reports about it on the internet from other 

states.  I had heard from the elder that his youngest son worked for the Department of Transportation

(DOT), and they were already preparing to treat the roads.  The elder went on to say that his grandson

who worked for a shipping company had pulled freight lines off the road, while they were awaiting the

coming snowstorm.  So, I was frightened and started watching the radar as I recalled the blizzard of 

1978.  

                         I made a statement on reddit about it and was laughed to scorn for it by some of the 

youngsters there.  I also lost Karma points due to my statement on Reddit.  Nevertheless, the talking 

heads went on scarring everyone to death.  In fact, early on one of the talking heads was happy to let 

us know that no matter how much snow we had, we would have a white Christmas.  I might add he

was no meteorologist. 

                      Due to all the fear and hoopla the news media put into our hearts all of us who worked at 

the Pizza House wondered if it would be open.  My boss certainly did not know and could only talk to 

his boss in Tiny, Indiana.  All his boss told him was that it was up to Other Car Company for as long as 

they were running we would be opened.  If on the other hand they were closed, we would be closed.  

So, I showed up for work in my Pizza House sweatshirt and jeans with black slick resistant shoes on, 

ready for work.

                        The next day was Saturday the 24th, it was cold out, but sunny.    The sun had swept the 

clouds away and put us back into the teens.  In the end all lived happily ever after.

Self Pleasing

                                  Once upon a time in the Other Land lived a girl who did not believe in God, nor did she believe in the faith of the Church she went to.  She was just an active participant from the  fellowship she got from the congregation.  I might add that this kind of member pleased Satan.                                     The girl's name was Alice, and she went to services only for the pure enjoyment she  she could receive from it.  For Alice was out to please Alice and no one else.  This did not please God, but as I said earlier, did please Satan!    Satan had other workers in the Church who were there to please themselves as well.  God: however, was always hard at work sending His messengers to solve this  problem.      ...

               One morning Thunder wakes up, and tells Maxine that they are going to take a vacation back  to  his homelands in the Woods in Indiana.  Maxine just says, "that is fine dear, but, you should have  checked to see if I had a tea, or any diplomatic duties first."                Thunder just hoed and hummed as he got dressed.  He then told Maxine, "anything like that  could be rearranged.  Furthermore you will have tea at the Woods."                  As they were walking to breakfast Maxine rolled her eyes.  She then addressed Thunder in a loving fashion and said, "Well dear, I am glad you have it all thought out, but where ever will we stay? You do have the twins to recall, or were they just staying here at the White House.                Thunder and his family by this time ...

In The End

                                              Charles went to a funeral in present time.  He saw there a whole cast of  characters he had not seen in a long time.  He wondered if the church psychologist would be there, and she was not.  Instead, his friend, daffy, old, retired, psychologist, Doctor Donald Dawk was  there.  Doctor Dawk talked briefly to Charles.                                   The funeral, of course, was for the relatives of the Westend's.  Old Mr. West- end had passed away peacefully in his sleep at 101 years of age.  He left behind many survivors, which included a wife named Betty.   Mister Westend had served in Germany in World War II.  The family of course was given military honors.   ...
