“It was supposed to have rained, but the temperature dropped and it snowed instead, twelve inches, catching everyone off guard, including the county highway department, which had sent all its workers home. The roads out in the country drifted shut, sealing the farmers off. The few men who made it to the Coffee Cup on Saturday morning tried to remember the last time this much snow had come so early. Bob Miles dug through the old Heralds and found it hadn’t snowed this much this early since 1953, ...so he wrote a big article about it being a fifty-year snow. He also announced that my son Addison had won that year’s snowfall contest, accurately predicting the first inch of snow would fall on the third of December, which was his birthday and the date he picks for everything to happen. Church services were canceled, except for those at Harmony Worship Center, who said that in light of all the Lord had done for them, the least they could do was slog through a little snow to get to church. Harmony Worship Center, I’m discovering, is one of these churches that never loses an opportunity to remind the rest of us how virtuous they are.MoreLessRead More Read Less
