For my grad school class this semester we are charged with doing a research project on a movement, person, or group of people in church history. I have been formulating a hypothesis which I think could be quite interesting.

- snow day
Every student in my ministry is off from school today. This is the result of the nasty snow/ice storm we had last night.
